100 Hater Quotes That Reveal A Lot About Them

100 Hater Quotes That Reveal A Lot About Them

My dear, if you have haters, congrats, you are doing something right. Honestly, if somebody is hating on you, it just means that you’ve got something that they don’t. And they are jealous about it!

I mean, we have all been in certain situations where we felt jealous. However, most of us didn’t go to those lengths to become a hater.

Jealousy is a natural human reaction to certain situations. If a child sees another child that has a lollipop, and they don’t have it, they will probably be a bit jealous, and will definitely try to convince their parents to buy them a lollipop, too.

The same goes for a grown adult, just on rather larger scales.

Whatever their cause is, you are not to blame. Haters typically do so because they are unhappy with themselves. They won’t have the time or energy to hate if they are extremely happy with their life, their partner, and their profession.

Therefore, the only things you can do are: 

  • Reading hater quotes that I have collected online and prepared for these situations
  • Being mindful and accepting of the fact that they cannot accept that you are simply better than them
  • Enjoy the attention, and simply move on with your life

Having this in mind, I think the best option would be the first one, huh?
