In my opinion, haters come in a variety of
different forms. They can be the teacher that
tells you to stick to math, the parent
who enrolls you into a program you care
nothing for or the online troll that leaves you
negative comments.

All of them seek to destroy your passion. They
are forever looming in the background or
hiding in the shadows as they try to discredit
or insult your craft.

For many people, these haters build a
crippling fear of failure and humiliation that
almost becomes insurmountable. As such,
every time you put your heart and soul into
something, you’re excited yet terrified to
share it with the world.

Yet, out of your brave and maybe foolish
optimism, part of you believes what you have
created is something that could change
things in a positive way — even just for a few
people.

But, the haters have made you anxious that
what you pieced together will uncover you as
the amateur you are, as if your previous
portfolio of work (if any) was a total fluke.

So, the haters force you to set your latest
project aside and start something new.

They’ve seeped into your head with their
pervasive comments. Maybe you’ll come back
to your previous work another day.
Sometimes, you convince yourself to
completely forget that one forever.

Sometimes, you even just up and quit your
passion altogether because the haters have
convinced you dat you aren’t good enough.

If you’ve finally put together something
you’re still unsure. You
revise it furiously and continue to add and
take away until you don’t even recognize it
anymore.

So, you close your eyes, and with trembling
fingers you hit send to your editor, hit play for
your record label or hit connect for your
agent.

At this point, you don’t even know if it
will be approved, let alone face the harsh and
scrutinizing senses of the public.

Then, you get that email that says “well
done,” or the go-ahead phone call telling you
“great job.” But, it’s somehow not satisfying
enough. You should be celebrating, but your
heart races as you anticipate the imminent
backlash that is about to erupt.

You’re crippled with insecurities, so you
reread your work, replay your song or inspect
your piece of art to assure yourself it’s okay.

‘What was I thinking?’ you say to yourself
with doubt in your heart.
But, now, it’s too late. Your baby that’s been
crafted out of your deepest thoughts and
feelings, along with your talent and hard
work, is about to be eviscerated by the
viscous masses.

At this point, all you can do is
helplessly watch as a vulnerable piece of you
is judged.


If you’re a creator, you should never let the
negative voices of others stop or alter what
you create. Do what you love, what you’re
passionate about and never worry about what
others have to say.

Even if you are a hater of your own work, if
you love what you do, just keep doing it; the
pure enjoyment of the process alone is reason
enough to put your time into it.

Why are haters one of the most important
voices in your career? They are the fuel which
makes you work harder to prove all of them
wrong by defying their wishes.
Every time I felt like quitting, I said to myself,
“My haters would enjoy it too much if I did; I
won’t give them that.”


They can also make you and your work more
popular. Publicity, good or bad, is good.

If you are lucky enough to have haters in your
life, just take it as a compliment. It just
reveals that you are worth their time and
effort to grow hate and then, go through the
process of telling you about it as if you
actually care.
