Whats up with haters?

Question

Seriously, why do people go out of their way to hate and put down? I don't understand taking time to stress on negative matters, rather than positive. Maybe I shouldn't be taking this personally, and I should let it roll of my back, especially in this business no matter where you're at in your journey with it. But I'm a singer/songwriter and run my own record label. I really want to reach out and help others dreams come true besides my own. Anyways, other entertainment industry contacts have, have always been good to me and supportive of my goals. And whenever people see my shows, etc. people generally don't have negative feedback for me face to face and are supportive. But random people I don't even know over the internet ALWAYS seem to have AWFUL things to say about me. I understand and accept not everyone will like me or my music. That's fine, but why do they go out their way and use their time so destructively? I don't go out of my way to put down things I don't like.

Answer 1

There are always ignorant people .. yes you should learn to take those messages and send them into the junk mail.. right away and delete them. .. Look at big celebs.. they get stalkers and death threats sometimes.. so it's not all rosy not even for superstars and there are the paparazzi.. the media.. the photographers who never get enough of getting  a photo of a celeb.. and they make speculations.. and that is ok.. they cannot be charged with libel if they put a tiny question mark behind what they say.. they could be writing Farrah Fawcett Major is dying and put all that in big letters because we all know she got cancer and then a tiny question mark.. and on the inside when you open it up it will be put entirely differently .. it will then say.. Farrah looks thin.. does this mean her condition got worse? that is speculating so she can't sue them for libel.. because they put it in the form of a question not a statement.. you will see that there is a bright side to it all if you love the music and you have success and there will always people who like it and others will be envious.. they may hate you because they don 't have what you got.. jealousy. and envy.. that makes some unhinged people send hate mail.. as long as you get no threats throw that garbage away.. x*x

Answer 4

Hi.

I don't think of myself as a "hater" so I don't really know what goes on in haters' minds...but I learned that haters hate someone or something that they actually identify with...it's like their way of projecting their insecurities and they cannot do it to themselves so they just look for somebody else like them who has that thing or quality they hate.

And to echo the answers posted ahead of this, good for you that you have a dream and a noble one at that. Know why and to whom you are reaching this dream for, and the negative, hateful remarks you receive will just be words that serve as reminders of your dream.

You were born to love, don't let the world teach you how to hate.

Answer 5

I congratulate you and anyone who has the courage to go out there and live their dream, making a difference in the world and supporting themselves in any of the creative fields: acting, singing, writing, painting, etc, etc. It takes a pretty thick skin to make it. You'll always find those "haters," who, for no apparent reason, enjoy spreading negative energy.

Don't pay any attention to those people. You are confident and talented. Work on strengthening you craft and surrounding yourself with people who love and support you. As your confidence grows, you will care less and less about what those hateful people say.

Answer 6

Welcome to the real world, kiddo. There will always be a**holes where ever you go. Take the good with the bad. Yahoo Answers is not a place for venting your personal frustrations.

Answer 7

Answer 8

They are just bored, the got no life. Just ignore them. But if their comments are constructive, you might want to take a closer look. If they are just plain awful, ignore them. Don't stoop so low and listen to their c**p. You are higher than that. ;)

Answer 9

I know. People can be hateful and cruel, even when you have good intentions. I do not know to much about the music industry and I try to listen to different types of music, however my favorite is the traditional country & western music. I learned a long time ago that you cannot please everyone. It can be so hurtful as my wife and I do not socolize much anymore because of it. Just be very careful when dealing with hateful people that while hurting that hurt does not turn to hate also. I always felt the best way to deal with hateful or mean people is to treat them with kindness as they thrive on conflict. That way you are always the one taking the high road.
