News India Live, Digital Desk: Online Harassment: In today’s digital age, social media and online platforms have become an important part of our life. We use them to join each other, share information and express opinions. However, there is also a dark aspect of these platforms ‘online trolling’ and cyberbulling. Often, some people target others under the guise of oblivion, make derogatory comments or deliberately disturb someone, which has a deep negative effect on their mental health.
It is important to understand that trolling is often an unhealthy behavior arising from jealousy, boredom or tendency to get its anger. Its purpose is usually your response to instigate or let you down. As such, the first and effective way to face trolling is ‘no response’. Yes, ignoring such people is the biggest weapon. When you do not pay any attention to the comments of the trollers or do not respond to them, they fail to achieve their goals and gradually away, as they do not find any ‘show’.
If you are constantly looking at a troll or objectionable material, immediately block or mute the person. By blocking, you will not be able to see their content and they will also not see your profile. By mute, their posts will withdraw from your feed, but they will not know that you have muted them. This is an important step to maintain your mental peace.
It is not enough to ignore only. Every online platform has an option to report derogatory or harmful materials. If you feel that someone is constantly harassing you, then take a screenshot of his comments or posts. This can be used as a proof. Then, report the support team of the platform with this evidence. Most platforms keep strict rules against such behavior and take action on such accounts. In severe cases, this information can also be useful in legal help.
In addition, the most important thing is not to take these comments personally. Remember, this is often to reduce your price, not about your real identity or qualities. What you do is more important than what you think about yourself. Make yourself strong and do not let such negativity disturb your inner peace.
Always control your privacy settings, as digital security. Avoid sharing your personal information such as address, phone number or highly private photos online. While posting anything on the public platform, do it thoughtfully, because once online, he can stay there forever. By keeping your profile ‘private’, you can decide who can see your content.
In the end, it is very important to understand that your mental health is supreme. If you are feeling highly upset or stressed by online trolling, do not hesitate to talk to your friends, family or any professional. Taking help is not a weakness, but a strong step of its care. A safe and positive digital experience is possible only when you take your boundaries and safety seriously.
