Why is it so hard to ignore troublemakers?

[Multifavs]

I've been told that I should ignore people online who are mean, rude, disrespectful, etc. I try, but it's so hard for me...why, I wonder? Could it have something to do with being bullied for much of my life? I don't expect everyone to be nice to me all the time, nor do I think highly of myself. Is there a way to avoid letting things bother you?

Because this type of behavior demands attention.

Heh. This site (and many others) have an "Ignore" feature.
I find it works rather well...
One of the often overlooked differences between Heaven and Hell, I suspect
Is that one of them has a Mute button
And the other does not

Welcome back btw, haven't seen you post in awhile

Because there is an endless supply of strangers / bad people in the internet, and if you would need to deal will all you cross it would be too much, is not worth it, one because people behind keyboards a lot of times have no integrity, and 2 if a person is not contributing something a bit positive to your life and is not your fault like if you did something immoral, you shouldn't be bothered by them too much and just forget.

I usually just respond to these folks with "nice talk" followed with a laughing emoji.

You can't let something one says bother you ... pray for them. Many times I just pray for them and give it to the Lord ... that removes the bothering part.
