Haters Defined

Taken from the free book How Haters Help

Before we go any further in discussing haters, we must first start develop a working definition of a “hater” as they are referred to in this book. People have hated each other for thousands of years for various reasons. There is quite a bit of literature available on the subject and psychology of hatred itself. This book however, addresses modern “haters” in the sense our culture knows them as.

Definitions

First of course, the scholarly Urban Dictionary definitions:

1. Hater – A person that simply cannot be happy for another person’s success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person. Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesn’t really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock someone else down a notch.

Susan: You know, Kevin from accounting is doing very well. He just bought a house in a very nice part of town.

Jane (hater): If he is doing so well why does he drive that ‘89 Taurus?

2. Hater – A person who feels anger and/or jealousy for someone who has succeeded in something they have worked hard for. A being who speaks badly, and/or takes negative actions in attempt to create problems for a successful person.

My simple, classic definition:

Hater (h8r); hat-er – noun 1. One who hates. In the case of a modern “h8r”, one who hates another due to their success.

Thus, as I refer to them, haters “hate” others based solely upon their success. This also includes the traditional “doubters and naysayers” who also “hate on” the person pursuing success. The hatred doesn’t have to be genuine – a hater is anyone who intentionally does anything to try to stop you from achieving success. A hater is not always easily identified. Your best friend could hate on you. The girl next door could hate on you. Your boss could hate on you. The garbage man could hate on you. The quiet guy in the lobby could hate on you. Even your own mother could hate on you.

I speak from experience when I write this: Even the people who you consider closest to you can “hate” on you in the sense that they may try to stop you from achieving success. However, there are different motives behind different haters, as we shall discuss later.

An individual may have never displayed any resentment or aggression toward you, until they witness you succeeding at something. Then, something very interesting may happen. The person unleashes a barrage of criticism, insults, and flaw-centered attacks upon you. It is at this point that they become a “hater.” Lacking substantial grounding to attack you upon, the hater typically resorts to attacking your character and quality of work. Ironically, the work you are engaging in is often something the hater could never come close to accomplishing.
