Internet Troll Bullies Bodybuilders Online. Then They Demand He Show A Photo Of Himself

I always wondered what’s the mindset of internet bullies and trolls. Do they really enjoy hurting other people or is there more to it? This is the emotional confession of a former internet bully who managed to turn his life around both physically and mentally.

After growing increasingly frustrated with his weight and dependence on his mother, the only way Jesse Shanda could cope is by bringing people down. He’d go online, discover people’s insecurities and exploit them. When he targeted one body-building forum he expected them to fire back at him, but instead he was greeted with an overwhelming support and motivation to lose weight.
