1. Attention seeking- because they need to have it , because no one notices them in real life and they force you to give them that attention online so they resort to tactics that elicit a response from you.
2. They thrive on making people feel bad because they are miserable in their lives and want others to suffer too.
3. There might be some who do it for some weird masochistic reason knowing there will be an angry response and insults thrown their way for behaving like they do and they actually like it.

I used to troll a lot when I was younger. I think it is sort of a power thing, being able to control someone else's emotions by making them angry without them being able to control yours. It can also be artistically engaging, depending on the methodology used.

look up 'dark tetrad'

I think for me anyways we are just looking for an escape from our lives.

Thank you for Best Comment😊

No clue

Overrated

They enjoy being annoying and upsetting others, that's basically about it.

Trolls are still a thing?

Then why do you do it?

Attention.. they get someones attention..

Also they interpret their success at trolling you as a sign of superiority over you..

Like I am superior and you are inferior because i manipulated you and deceived you..

I'm not sure. Probably is a way of compensating for them being smaller in some other aspect of their life or for their feelings of inadequacy in some other area of their life.

It is difficult to understand the motives behind people's irrational behavior at times.

You get to see that your comment fulfilled your intention.

I don't get it either and it doesn't help that people on SW encourage it because they love carnage and animosity. They look pathetic and are most likely have a miserable life, it's it attention seeking I just pity them.

They are laughing. When u have no life or friends it's the next best thing
