Gurinder - I suspect many are abusive online because they are lonely, and half-consciously hope you’ll respond to their insults by fighting with them, because that would be a validating acknowledgement of their existence. To those desperate for recognition, even a slap can feel like a caress.
Me. That's what happens with many children. Attention and acknowledgment to them is more important than being ignored. Even at the cost of negative attention and negative outcomes. Natural selection and evolution facilitated this. Imagine children constantly going on their own, disconnecting from core people. They know unconsciously it's a matter of survival.
