Am i a troll?

79% Normal
16 Comments

I feel like I'm so out there sometimes that people mistake me for a troll. I tend to say a lot of dumb things, make smart comments and take simple conversations to a whole 'nutherlevel for my own amusement, but I usually don't lie about anything unless it is blatantly obvious that I have lied. It seems like people don't know what to think of me. I'm just learning what a troll is, and I feel like I could be one accidentally. People tell me they don't know if I'm serious a lot (both online and offline) and I think it's kinda funny and leave them wondering, but there is always some truth in the things I say. I don't know. If I'm a troll, I'm a troll; I was born this way.

is it normal to feel like you could be a troll?

    Some people just don't know what a troll is, so don't worry about it when they call you one.

    Trolling is being **intentionally** stupid, controversial or hateful to get a reaction out of people on the internet.

    For example, going to a politically aligned blog pretending to have the opposite opinion, and writing a comment just to see how many angry replies you get.

    If you were trolling, you'd know.

    The word "trolling" actually started as a shorter way of saying "trolling for suckers" (where trolling is a type of fishing), so you can see where the connection is made to what it means now.

    Depends what you mean by troll. It's had more than one definition over the years and people are often protective over what they see as "their" definition.

      Yeah, i'm confused as to what a troll is. It seems to be someone looking to get a reaction from others over the internet, usually negative, usually using their imagination. Only, i don't make things up for a reaction. I am very honest and i enjoy seeing others' reactions to my blunt honesty, whether its offensive our not.

        I don't think you're a troll at all. It's just human nature to be curious about how people are going to react to things. It's not like you're trying to belittle people or trick them. You're just saying what you think, regardless. Wigsplitz does that as well and I like it about her.

    Part of being a troll is knowing you're a troll.

    WHO CARES? When I comment, I just say how I feel. Many of you have probably noticed that, because I like to share my feelings. But I do it without worrying, since I know it's okay.

    A lot of people pull the troll card when there's something they don't understand. Don't listen to them.

    Some time I'll tease but do it by being totally honest , some times not even realizing I'm doing it since I'm sometimes not too good with my social skills ( other times I know it's not socially ok but I don't care and do it on purpose ) Some ppl have called me a troll but I don't do it it be mean or cause drama usually, it's just fun teasing of a friend or to take the wind out of the sails of some one who needs to be taken down a bit because they are being a jerk .

    You're not a troll. You're just yourself.

        Hi :)

        No, from what I've seen, I don't think you're a troll. I haven't noticed you provoking people. I've always thought a troll was someone who said something inflamatory then sat back and enjoyed as everyone reacted, though the definition on IIN seems a little diferent.
