11. Ego compensation

Not to contradict myself. But, why are people trying to provoke others on the internet? I know different kinds of people exist and they're just probably one of the less desired that exist. But seriously, are they compensating for something? we will never truly know. One of the better countermeasures I've discovered though is to simply ignore them. Yes I know it's hard. But consider this; it's harder for them since their ego doesn't get fed by your lack of response and therefore deflates. Hoping for a less provoking future.
