What is your opinion about the quote “ Haters don't really hate you. They hate themselves, because you're reflection of what they wish to be”?

I don’t entirely agree with it.

It may be true sometimes but not always.

Not all hatred is because of jealousy or envy.

I don't completely agree with it, but it's not entirely wrong either.

Sometimes true but rarely.

I've found this to be true over and over again.

Example: I was talking to a really gorgeous 50 year old woman trying to chat me up recently. I asked her "What do other people get wrong about you all the time?" Her reply was "other women always assume I'm a bitch but I'm not, I'm a really nice person". She was / is a really good person. I had to explain to her

They don't actually think you're a bitch. You were born pretty. At 20, they could use that argument, you didn't have to make an effort, you won the genetic lottery. But at 50, you look 30. You're fit and toned. You have a great sense of style. While they are overweight and out of shape. They stopped caring about how they look 25 years ago. That's not luck. That's 30 years of food discipline and commitment to exercise and building yourself. They don't think you're a bitch. They are humiliated by their own life choices and jealous of the choices you have made. They know there's no undoing the choices they've made. And they are talking that misery out on you. it's not your problem.

I don't think she'd ever heard that perspective before. And she really seemed to appreciate someone recognizing that a different reality and offering a different explanation for why other women treat her like shit. I'm still working on changing her perspective on herself and other people, LOL.

The reason I look at it the way I do. I get the same jealous reaction from other guys all the time when their girlfriends or wives or even single women give me a little too much attention. Or women approach our group and their focus is visibly on meeting me. Most guys married or single, quit on themselves in their early to mid 30's. By 50 they are fat and dress like they are still in high school. I get anger, jealousy, and resentment all the time. Fuck them. Not my problem you quit on yourself and I didn't.

I mean, the first part technically that isn't wrong, but the second part is, because they still hate the other person too.
But I agree with you.
But also, you can be jealous and not hate yourself. You can simply be jealous and angry that certain types of people have as my mom says, "More luck then brains."

Take that IShowSpeed for example. Son of a bitch is only in his early 20s, and owns a private jet. Other millionaires like Trump or Musk, have to work their ass off for decades to be able to afford suck luxories, while that clown got rich from playing videogames and bullying people. That's fucking bullshit!

The quote I often believe in is this one:

"Haters don't really hate you. They hate something, and/or someone, from the past that they associate with you"

It sounds like the ramblings of a narcissist.
