The need for protection is one of the basic needs, according to the Maslow pyramid. And where, no matter how on the Internet, find this protection?
After all, when you are sitting at home, and a much greater distance separates you from the interlocutor than during a real conversation, then you feel much calmer and more relaxed. Firstly, you have time to think over the answer (what, usually, there is no time in a personal conversation). Secondly, on the Internet you can simply get away from the answer with one click of the mouse. If you transfer this situation, again to reality, it is how to escape from the interlocutor in the middle of communication. Agree, it would look stupid. But on the Internet they are treated normally. Well, thirdly, you can reinforce your answer on the network with all the available resources of the world, and in real life you have to rely only on your erudition (and many “Internet trolls” have big problems with this).
Plus, a person can become anyone, at will. Anonymity adds emancipation in communication. He wanted, and now you are Vovan123 - Gopnik from the area that the Internet has just been held. Want - you vladimirivanovich - teacher of a local university (finding no problem on the Internet). And you wanted - you just Vovablackstar is a party and a professional seducer. And for these transformations, you only need to click once.
And now, when a person feels in complete safety, he chose a larva (more precisely hid behind her), in which he is comfortable, a person becomes the aforementioned troll. He can afford to behave with others asever, he is generally omnipotent. He can “pour shit” to whom in real life will not even work. He can communicate freely with the girls, with the approach to which in the real world his knees shake and his tongue is braided. Or he can give everyone smart advice and feel smarter than others.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the new protection and anonymity that people are so dependent on the Internet ...
