I really don’t see why you should hate anybody. Some people out of nowhere, just wake up and decide to criticize whatever you are doing. They don’t even care to ask why you did what you did; they see themselves as gods of right and wrongs. Hating has become so rampant especially on social media. You went out with your friends on weekend and you took a couple of pictures which you post on your social media pages. Some will simply like and scroll down, others will like and comment nicely but then there is this minority that will always find something negative to say about you! Some haters don’t even need a keyboard to abuse you (yes! Hating is abusing), they will just say it to your face!
Reasons why people hate;

JEALOUSY
You are doing well in life and most of the things are going according to plan. Being human, you would love to celebrate this success and you decide to post it on Instagram or Facebook. Not everybody will be happy for you especially the ones who were “competing’’ with you. They do not like what they are seeing and so the will just drop a negative comment in the hope that it will get in your head.

BITTERNESS AND PAIN
These are people who are struggling in life, they have issues and are going through a lot of pain. They will always spread negativity just to hide what they are really feeling. The negative and hurtful comments are just a way of venting out.

BECAUSE THEY CAN
Folks will hate on you just because they have a phone and internet connection. They are the so called ‘’keyboard warriors’’. Hurtful things will be typed and sed to your face just because they think there is nothing you can do to them (which is silence). Nothing hurts a hater like you ignoring the hate, they don’t like it when they do not get in your head.

Personally I have been hated on before, mostly by the people who I thought were my friends. Your biggest hater is the person you think is your best friend. They want you on the same level with them, they like seeing you around but when you start moving out; upgrade a little bit, that kills them.

Instead of hating on your friend, why don’t you just complement? Is it that hard to tell your hommie something nice about what they are doing? I never knew a simple ‘’thumbs up’’ could be so hard.
Be nice to people, stop hating! Spread love. Your friend is trying to start a business, post it, share it you never know who is watching. Don’t start telling them how they are going to fail, raise ideas on how to better the venture.

Your best friend wants to chase their dreams be it acting, singing, dancing, comedy or art; support him/her, encourage, cheer her on and always have her back.
Supporting our friends, family, neighbors does not have to be on dreams and business only. It can also spread to marriages, building a house, buying a car, selling a piece of land, I mean there are a lot of things we are involved in in our life time. Find anything positive you can do or say to push them.

Nobody is forcing you to be nice though, if you want to hate you just do that but am of the opinion of always spreading positive vibes. People may ask what the best remedy against haters is, I say silence is the best way to go. Don’t engage just ignore.
Never hate, just complement!
