Hi:
I am learning how to use comebacks with people on social media who are arrogant and like to pick fights with other people on social media. I want to learn how to use them rather than feeding people who like to attack.

What are some good ones?

This is a poor idea from the get go. If people are getting under your skin, merely by reacting to them, you end up taking on their nature, so you become them, thereby completing what they set out to do. Which is how peoples poor behavior tends to reproduce, creating an endless chain of reactionary victims.

Your issue is reading snarky garbage on social media in the first place, which is an endless rabbit-hole to go down. The best response to a troll is NO RESPONSE. Don't let words tempt and warp you, don't look for 'revenge' as that will turn you into their likeness (it's also a losing battle from the get go).

Don't let your ship be tossed by the waves, take command by not reading garbage in the first place. This is among the reasons why people tend to feel liberated when they get rid of their social media, the amount of garbage posted on social media is insurmountable.
