Haters (rant)

beautifulwarrior18 · June 2014

While I agree that some people on this site really are just *kitten*, it does get exhausting to read the boards and find 31 posts about people jumping on board with a fad diet while those who havebeen extremely successful tell them, it's not going to work and instead of believing them the op gets all huffy and throws a tantrum. That's when I see that phrase thrown around most frequently and then the sarcastic comments roll in .

It's frustrating Because this isn't the community for you if you want a quick fix.

Yep...the phrase will die out...and you will be the one to destroy it.

We will all be back here watching and waiting with bated breath...psych

"Haters gonna hate" is possibly the stupidest saying I've ever heard. It is narcissistic and delusional. No, lets not even consider that maybe you are misinformed or straight out wrong, it's just people being "haters". A person's actions couldn't possibly be the cause of people not liking them, others just "hate" for no reason. Uh... have you considered the possibility that maybe you are just an *kitten* and people rightfully don't like you? Do you really think people focus on you enough to be a "hater"?

The internet seems to breed this mentality that you are a special little snowflake, and everything you do is super awesome, and you deserve great things for no other reason than you exist. I think you have to do something great in order to deserve great things. There is something to be said for being at peace with who you are, but there is also something to be said for having enough humility and self-awareness to realize that maybe (just maybe) the problem is you and you could make a positive change in your life. Ironically, this is a fitness site and everyone who is here at some point had to say yeah I like myself, but it's not just "haters" thinking I am out of shape with unhealthy habits... this is actual the truth. And yet I see the stupid "haters" phrase thrown around left and right.
