How do you deal with it when an online person, possibly a narcissist, is intentionally and successfully trying to trigger and hurt you. This has happened to me before on another forum. I am not a mean person but I do get triggered by people who I think are trying to intentionally harm me. Possibly I need “medication”
![]() But I’m allergic to medication ![]() I might have to take a short break from pc and leave the other forum (not pc) where I’m being harassed ![]() I’m not “coping well with life” I’m “a failure” ![]() Not about anyone on pc __________________ ![]() |

My personal opinion is you can't win with an internet troll.

My short answer to your query is: Disengage!
You are a good person, Fuzzy. I endorse what the Skeezyks advised above. Whoever they are, they are not worth your attention. Take what break you need and, remember, we who know you for years love you. |

I have to agree with both Skeezyks and Rose76 - disengage from them entirely, if their behavior is having this much of an impact on you it isn't worth it.
There are indeed some narcissists and trolls on forums. I have also experienced this and I have had to set boundaries. Please do this for yourself FuzzyBear. Also - do not believe the lies. You are an amazing person through and through. There is not a single time I have EVER found you to be even remotely rude. Please know that you are a good person. And if you were to get angry or be rude - you are still a good person because you are entitled to your emotions and you have every right to be upset! Being rude would not make you a bad person. Everyone has angry days. ![]() My teddy bears send hugs.
