Even if you are not massively successful, there are always going to be people who are envious of the things you have. Try to navigate through someone disliking you for a legitimate reason, versus someone “hating” on you. Just be careful not to over-use this mindset. There are plenty of arrogant people out there who claim that critics are their “haters”, when it is really their own negative behavior that is spurring on others to dislike them.

You know that you are truly dealing with a hater when you come across someone who you have only shown kindness to, or never met before. And yet they see your happiness and success, and they are trying to bring you down. Don’t let them. The more successful you become, the more you will run into “haters”. It is almost 100% guaranteed. If you can learn to deal with it early on, it will only help keep your mood up as time goes on.
