Hate is a waste of energy. >.> Besides wouldn't hating haters, for the sake of hating haters, make you a hater?
o.o That inception tho, well not hate them, just not like them. I found this guy online who kinda motivated me to do something about haters How to Deal With Haters
I tend to ignore haters when they're directed at me. Most haters are random people, that I don't really know, and while yes, words can still hurt, I can usually logic through the fact that they're not really attacking me. There's usually something else going on in the background. I certainly would never give in to what they want and show them how upset I am by giving them a response. I deal with the emotions afterwards, on my own. That's what I find works for me anyway. I suppose everyone would have their own way of dealing with things. Of course, if it's someone who I talk to regularly, or who I respect, it hurts quite a bit more and can be harder to take.
