The single, most important reason to ignore the haters and go on with your business is simple—you deserve better. If someone purposefully treats you unkindly, they don't deserve to upset you. Continue choosing to see the world through your rose-colored glasses.
Having haters proves that you're on the move. You're moving away from somebody or something and towards somebody or something. It's the people that you're leaving behind that are feeling insecure in their life and are going to try to pull you back. Haters are validation that you are moving in the right direction.
Haters are generally jealous creatures. They can't stand that you have something they want, and that ranges from being able to afford that dress they've been lusting after, or a talent you have. They hate that you have what they desire and for that reason they'll do whatever it takes to 'balance things out'.
If you think someone is just wanting to be heard you can simply say “thank you for sharing” or “I appreciate your perspective” If you think someone is wanting to be a back-handed hater say “thanks for sharing” or “we all have our opinions”, or just delete the comment and leave it at that.
Is hate the same as jealousy? A hater is no different than a jealous person. In fact, the same reason that people are jealous is the same reason why they become detractors of anyone's accomplishments.
From the interaction between these two variables—the replaceability or irreplaceability of the target and the determinacy or indeterminacy of the focus of concern—four types of hate can be obtained: normative, ideological, retributive, and malicious.
The best thing you can do is always be polite, even to someone open about hating you. The reason is that you'll show others you can be the right person and that you can be the bigger person if it comes down to it.
It's so easy to forget that everyone has battles they're fighting. We all see other people and think, "Wow. They're so put together!" when on the inside, they could be crumbling. Take advantage of this by always being bright and positive with everyone.
People may be jealous of you because they believe they are not as good as you are. They may not be able to explain why they envy you, but deep down, they know that you're better than them. They try to compete with you, but it's just not fair. They can't match your skills or your accomplishments.
Jealousy may be driven by low self-esteem or a poor self-image. If you don't feel attractive and confident, it can be hard to truly believe that your partner loves and values you. Other times, jealousy can be caused by unrealistic expectations about the relationship.
Feeling hated is a common symptom of anxiety, depression, and various personality disorders. If your everyday life is severely impacted, you have problems performing at work or school, or you start having thoughts of suicide, seek professional help. There are many ways to find a therapist to work with.
