A slow roll is great.
1 It lets us know we are not emotionally solid if we react to it. Get the book "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler
2 It is a huge tell by them--they are an emotional player, and we can weaponize that by knowing they will make bad calls when we use over bet sizing in certain spots. Especially after they roll us.

No reaction!
If they win then that’s their skill and if we win then it’s better to stay focussed, stay humble and move forward!

I like to slow roll. It just makes sense to me. Build that pot why shove and chase everyone out of a hand you can win.

I keep smiling, that's my "poker face", and don't let them see me sweat. :)

When someone slow rolls me, I stay calm and don’t react emotionally. Slow rolling is poor etiquette, but it doesn’t affect the actual outcome of the hand. I focus on staying composed because reacting or getting tilted only harms my own game. I simply note the player as someone who may try to irritate opponents and adjust my strategy accordingly, but I never let it impact my decisions. Maintaining emotional control is part of being a disciplined poker player

I feel confused. Like why you did that? I think slowroll is pointless if you're not familiar or have some history with the opponent.
