This person and I aren't having a discussion or anything, he makes these posts about me to other people, and just brings up my name even when the discussion he is responding to isn't even about me.
Is it trolling for me to repost to his nasty posts about me with a short response like "love ya babe!" or "lol"
or something of the sort?
Part of me is like, well he brought my name into this and said something nasty, so my sarcastic and short response is warranted. But then I wonder if my response to him could he perceived as me egging him on, since I'm not really trying to talk or anything.
Sorry that is happening and I'm sorry you're the lightening rod for this sort of thing. My own advice would be to leave off responding to and if possible reading those posts. I believe your intention was to project a nonchalance you don't actually feel in the hopes of ending it without needing help or looking weak. But it obviously isn't working out. Might be time to engage that ignore button. It has worked for me.
