How do successful people deal with their haters?

[Unit1]

Ahhh, the haters.
Without them nobody would have been truly successful ;) ;P
Ok, joke aside.

How do successful people deal with their haters?
Do they block them? Do they eliminate them with kindness? Do they ignore them and not respond at all?

[Browneye57]

When you know what you know and you've already made it then it really doesn't matter what some loser thinks. It's like water off a ducks back.

Haters gonna hate. Ignore, block, dismiss, and move forward with your aspirations. You really don't need to even engage them, but the really stupid ones it can be kind of fun, comical, even entertaining. IDGAF!!

What I've found here on gag is anything that is contrary to their little feelings is somehow bad, rude, negative, hateful, childish, ignorant, and just plain dumb. They have no shortage of shaming terms if you disagree with them. Kind of like what the progressive left does if you don't agree with them. :)

A woman blocked me earlier cause I said something about feminist's not liking that men objectify women and stuff and she asked me if I wanted to start an argument which I said a sarcastic yes too and we had a small debate and she ended up blocking me cause I made no sense. I don't think I was being hostile though. Just bothered me a bit so I'm gonna rant it out here

Idrk how to deal with haters cause I seem like the hater most of the time.

People can think they're strong from blocking out enemies, but it's not helping them learn to face their problems in a new light

First you have to learn to differentiate criticism from haters. Some people will yell "haterzzz" when it's just them not being able to handle constructive criticism.
Otherwise you find the method that suits you best. If you know you're not able to handle being insulted, block them for the sake of your own mental health. If you can handle it, ignore them - they're either trying to get a reaction out of you or hating on people makes them feel better. If you find yourself in a one on one situation with a hater, be nice and don't give them a reason to hate you. If you're an ass it just validates their hatred towards you

[siuxoes]

Sometimes you don't have to give a reason for them to hate you. They already have this thought on them, that they need to hate for anything you do.

But I agree on that they want a reaction from you and they get satisfied if that happens.

[Bleh-___-]

@siuxoes I know but if they hate you already and then you act rude to them because they're a "hater", you have now officially validated their hatred towards you even if there wasn't a reason before. They can now go home thinking "so and so really is a dick" vs if you're nice and they can't say anything bad about you

[siuxoes]

@Ble-___- I see your point, and I like it. Giving them the reaction they want, just will pump up their ego. And yes, they will go home thinking they were right the whole time.

But if you don't do this, if you stay calm mind your own businesses. They will go like "see, he doesn't give a shit about people say, he is such a weirdo, I knew it"

[siuxoes]

Fucked up your name there, sorry.

[peachblossomluck]

I'm kind towards them. If they are craving validation for their resentment towards me, I'm not going to feed into it. Sometimes people hate on you because they aren't seeing the big picture; what you've gone through to gain your success. Or you remind them if someone they dislike. Kill em with kindness.

Continue to succeed

Remember, haters is a monicker that's popular via social media. lol No one truly hates you, hell they don't even know you. Just makes them feel good about themselves to put others down. Have you ever noticed how a so called racist will always find their way into the post of those they claim to hate. lol They feed off the attention given back, not actual hate. Live your life.

[johari]

Let the haters be your motivators!

I usually ignore them. I've tried the kindness thing since I'm naturally a kind person but boy they sure know how to make my blood boil. I hate to lose my composure so I try to avoid my haters.

It sucks when you find out a so called friend was a hater

[somewhatsentient]

if you get hate it's either jealous, genuine disgust at your actions, or it's someone like me who just wants to see everyone alive suffer just like I do every single day. my case isn't as common. mostly you can ignore the jealous idiots. as for the genuine disgust you are probably doing something fucked up so stop it. don't be a freak.

[MaazSaleem]

Just Ignore them. and When you do, treat them with kindness.
Either they will change, or hate you somemore for being so good.
in both cases, its a win win situation for you 😜✌

[MilkyyM8]

You know you're going the right direction when the enemies spawn, just fight them

[Unit1]

I like that :D
Like a video game. Progressing to the next level :>

[Chanel1981]

I am very guilty of engaging with said people for my own amusement. I realize that not the best thing to do but I can't help it! Lol

[estoydorado1]

The same way they got successful.. By letting their actions speak for themselves and allowing the naysayers to fall to the wayside.

[ThisDudeHere]

By ignoring them. You can not afford to take everyone's opinion into account if you want to be successful.

[sarath1997]

oh I miss haters... had enemies in life but no haters...😩

[siuxoes]

Not caring about them, and keep working on what they love.

[ken718]

If you don't have haters your doing something wrong

[jacquesvol]

Potatoes will potate
Tomatoes will tomate
Haters will hate.

[dewaldt]

The term haters is constantly misused. There is often a reason why people hate you. You might be annoying.

[dogfish]

they dont care and let their haters cry to their moms

[Ahmed_Sy15x]

Show them their middle finger

[jennyem]

[cupidkisses]

I think they don't care.

[GrumpyGoo]
