Don't take it to the extreme! A psychologist told how to properly respond to hate on social networks.
Blocking, ignoring and contacting administrators can be more effective than trying to convince or punish a person who leaves offensive comments online. Clinical psychologist Alexander Zatone told Geer which methods of protection against Internet aggression should really be used. Don't get involved in conflicts. Attempts to convince the hater often only prolong the conflict. Don't humiliate yourself in return. Self-irony is helpful, but there is no need to agree with insults. Use blocking. You don't have to put up with nasty comments. Don't respond with bullying. Public revenge can only make the situation worse. Save evidence. For threats and slander, correspondence and screenshots will be useful. Contact a third party. Facilitators, an employer or a court can help resolve a serious conflict. Read news is now in MAX.
