The survival guide to encountering Haters in the wild

When you become successful you’re going to encounter a curious little thing called the Hater.  I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Hater.  He/She has been featured in countless rap songs and even been given credit during award acceptance speeches.  But who is the Hater and how do you survive it if you encounter one in the wild?  Well, today we’re going to find out.

First, let’s learn a little about the Hater.  The Hater is one of the single best motivators around.  He/She thrives off of seeing you fail.  The visceral reaction to your success in turn causes an emotionally secure person to become angry and determined.  The combination of these two feelings leads an undying drive, which causes the emotionally secure person to excel at whatever the Hater said that person would fail at.

Now Haters aren’t easy to spot just because of the randomness of their location.  There are a vast amount of Haters in the world and their migration patterns vary.  Sometimes they travel in packs and sometimes they are alone but it isn’t always easy to spot them.  Haters tend to be very jealous and they love to tell you lies about yourself therefore you would suspect that their eyes would glow green and their tongue would be forked.  Not the case.  The only way to truly spot a Hater in the wild is to listen to them.  Usually when you tell them good news, they will have a negative comment.  (Remember: They use these negative comments to make you feel lower so that they will feel better).

Now some other species can have hater moments.  Negativity is not exclusive to the Hater.  However a true Hater consistently puts you down.  That’s how you spot them!

Now the Hater is a wily beast.  Once you’ve spotted them you have to be careful because it’s easy to get ensnared in their trap.  You see the Hater thrives on negativity and if he/she can get you to agree with him/her then you’ve been caught.  

Here's an important bit: When you first encounter the Hater, you're going to want to shoot them immediately.  The urge will be undeniable.  However, this is an unbelivable waste of time since shooting them won't kill the Hater and will likely just waste your energy.  So the best way to escape the snare of the Hater is to simply believe in yourself and just ignore what they say.

If at all possible, escape the Haters sights entirely and never enter their territory again.  It’s a dangerous bit for anyone who stays around him or her for too long.  You risk the danger of actually transforming into a Hater via assimilation.  You don’t want that!

 So now you have your survival guide to navigating the wild in the presence of Haters.  Follow the guidelines and you’ll be sure to make it the next time you encounter the Hater.
