Success Haters - Why Haters Exist Today

Taken from the free book How Haters Help

What is it about success that pisses people off? Why do haters even exist? Why do people become agitated and jealous when they see someone else succeed? Some insight may be gained by examining our culture.

Contentment seems to be an increasingly accepted way of Life nowadays. Youth are increasingly ready to accept handouts and live off of the success of past generations (their parents, in particular). According to Monster.com, 57 percent of college students moved home after graduation in 2004 (the “boomerang” generation). Since then, this rate has increased and is now estimated to be approaching 65 percent! The latest generation seems to have become accustomed to having the security of their parents (the stable Baby Boomers) to fall back upon whenever they need to. Many of them, backed by this security, have been sucked into a “culture of comfort.”

With such a mediocre culture developing, fewer people are following their ambitions. More and more are wasting away in jobs they may not enjoy and are making less money than they are capable of. Upward mobility in America is at an all time low, according to an income study by US News. People are not moving up like they use to.

One thing is for certain: immobility and contentment are much easier to endure than the battles and strife toward achievement!

It is easy to live a Life of passive compromise, never fully achieving what you are actually capable of… especially when your culture reinforces it!

With so many people taking the “easy” route, one of the most basic laws of human social structure is revealed: People look to each for validation in whatever they do. This is done instinctively to ensure survival within a group. Most humans continuously look to each other for approval (which is why many people are highly concerned with the opinions of others). The individuals living within today’s “society of comfort” look to each other for validation that “It’s ok if I don’t try harder.” Or, “It’s ok to stop here, because none of my friends have gone any further.”

Mediocre people surround themselves with other mediocre people in order to confirm their position in Life and in society. In doing so, they feel good, since “everyone else is doing it.” That is, at least everyone they associate with.

It is human nature to compare ourselves to those around us. Therefore, when a successful person comes along, the mediocre person feels inferior by self-comparison. How do they compensate for this feeling of inferiority? By hating!
