What is the difference between trolls and constructive criticism?

[bitheerani319]

The topic of online bullying or hate speech, trolling, and negative criticism on the internet has become increasingly popular recently. More and more content creators, bloggers, vloggers, and YouTubers are speaking out publicly about this topic that has been kept quiet and ignored for years.

But, like all other problems that are swept under the rug, this one had to come out and be talked about because, at the end of the day, online content creators are just people, even though many don't see them that way, and they have a certain threshold of tolerance after which they snap.

There are more and more people who are coming out publicly and bolivia whatsapp list videos in which they talk about how much trolls terrorize them, writing lies about them, their families and friends on various forums specializing in hate, sending them unpleasant messages or even taking the trouble to record a video about the object of their hatred and posting it on YouTube.

While many will conclude that criticism is something everyone has to come to terms with, and that people who have decided to put themselves and their lives on the internet need to toughen up, there is a very clear and visible difference between constructive criticism and a comment intended only to make a specific person unhappy.

The difference between constructive criticism that is said with good intentions and a malicious comment is visible in the offline world as well and is also something we should all be aware of because as much as there is benefit from constructive criticism, there is none from a malicious comment.

Everyone needs constructive criticism from time to time. No one does everything right and sometimes people, even if they don't say it out loud, ask those around them for feedback that they can benefit from even if they don't later adopt the advice.

How do you distinguish constructive criticism from a mean comment that is intended to hurt a person and make them feel worse? Imagine a situation where your child comes home from school with a bad grade. You are not happy about it. What will you do?

Constructive criticism: “Oh, so why such a bad grade? What happened? Was something in the material unclear to you or was the test too difficult? Maybe next time we could study together to solve that problem and get a better grade. But don’t worry, everything will be okay, I love you and you can never disappoint me.”

Negative review: “I'm terribly disappointed with this grade! Shame on you!!! You never study, never! And what grade did Maja get? She studied, huh? No TV for a month as punishment!”

Do you see the difference? In both cases, the situation is already over and there is no way to change it. The child has already received a bad grade and that is all that matters right now. The rest is up to you, but you need to know one thing: negative and mean criticism doesn't help anyone, least of all a child who already feels bad.

Maybe you're a small soul who will feel better afterwards, but in that case, you need, and I'm being completely honest when I say this, intensive psychotherapy in a closed-type facility because you're nothing but an abuser.

Constructive criticism is often defined as a way of expressing disapproval and pointing out a person's problems or flaws, which is why it is often confused with hate and abuse. However, there is a difference that is very easy to spot if you just pay attention.
