Is trolling a mental illness

Truth stings I know.

You'll get over it. Just quit sawing plywood in the basement and getting glue on the carpet and you'll be fine.

"No, trolling is not a mental illness in itself, but it is considered a harmful form of behavior that can be associated with certain "dark" personality traits like psychopathy and sadism, which involve a tendency to cause cruelty or harm to others. However, not everyone who trolls has these traits, as people may troll for other reasons, such as amusement, a bad mood, or a sense of anonymity online."

Re: the above statement, it's probably only that it is a relatively new phenomenon and hasn't bee studied long enough. One day it will no doubt have it's own classification. Until then it is it certain that these poor souls have suffered some traumatic event(s) which paralyzed them emotionally and intellectually - for example, getting stuffed in a high school locker by mean gurls and then adopting that very persona on the internets in an effort to get even with the world for that injustice (just a random example there).
One thing for certain - these are very disturbed people.

Trolling is a mental illness because it is asking a question to provoke a response vs asking a question to seek answers.
