Haters can be hard to deal with, but there are some ways to do it well.
Talking Points:
- Know who you are. Haters can’t take anything away from you if you understand what you have to offer. Keep to your values and never change yourself just to make others happy.
- Know the facts. If someone is hating, it’s probably just because they don’t have all the information. They’re just uneducated and don’t have any empathy for what you’re dealing with.
- Don’t hate back. When you feed into the hate, you’re just making it harder to mend the relationship in the future. Taking the high road will always pay off in the end.
