How to Deal With Haters

Hate is like an STD, it can pass on to unsuspecting people who do not deserve to be put through drama. To all you haters out there, I'm cool with your disliking me. Why? Because I probably dislike you even more than you don't like me! Over the last year I have been screwed over by multiple people I have trusted, even those who claimed that I was one of the "best" friends. Now, I could be all bitter and vengeful, but it's not worth it, you're not worth it. There are a few things which you can do to deal with those nasty haters:

1) Don't give a f#*k: If you give haters any type of reaction which shows that they have gotten under your skin, that will only fuel them. Even if it bugs the hell out of you, act like it doesn't.

2) Keep your friends close, and your enemies at bay... but make sure you keep an eye on them. You don't want any nasty surprises. Surround yourself by people you can actually trust. If someone shows any signs of being a lying [insert word], CUT THEM from your life!

3) Delete and Block! Possibly one of my favorite pastimes is deleting people on Facebook, but there is one thing which can make it that little bit sweeter - the block option! Delete and block those haters! Lets face it, they deserve it. If you are unsure of how to block people on Facebook, click here. Blocking allows you to be absolutely invisible to the haters and vice versa, particularly wonderful if you have mutual friends.

4) Stay Classy San Diego. It doesn't actually matter if you are in San Diego or not, make sure you don't stoop to their level. There is no reason for you to act like a classless bastard. If they are spreading lies and blackening your name, who cares? If people are honestly going to believe the lies, they aren't your real friends.

5) Live your life. The best revenge is happiness, so live life like there is no tomorrow. Stop trying to please people and start living for you. Of course this doesn't mean ignoring other people and thinking you are God's gift to mankind. Quite simply, it means don't do things that make you unhappy to make others happy. I have been guilty of doing this a few times, but after this year I just don't care anymore. If my happiness offends you, feel free to walk out of my life for good.

There is almost no way around it, at some point in your life, whether you realize it or not, you are going to encounter haters. This doesn't mean that they have the right to bring you down. Don't forget, haters usually hate people for three reasons:

  1. They are jealous of you / want to be you 
  2. They hate themselves. 
  3. They are threatened by you
