You know, I just think its annoying to have somebody hating on everything you do or following you everywhere you go. Don't you? Like, theres that one person you know that wants something to do with you, whether it be positive or negative. Having somebody hating or copying everything you do is annoying and I'm going to help you deal with these kinds of people.
Haters - The Jealous Ones
At my school, for some reason, I have a lot of haters. I didn't know why, 'cause I didn't do anything to provoke them or anything. So it feels kind of odd to have people hating on you for a reason you don't know why. Then one of my friends told me that he was jealous, but didn't exactly want to show it. I could understand why he wouldn't want to show it. Jealousy is an ugly thing. But showing it in a form of aggression is an even uglier thing. So I don't understand why people choose to show it like that instead of just getting over it. Its what I would do, but maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. But I do have haters and this is kind of what they act like. You walk by and they have to say something bad to you. And its always in front of friends. So I guess its a show-offy kind of thing to. My advice on how to deal with them is take everything they say to you as a complement, and eventually they will stop bothering you. Its worked for me and other people I know. So give it a shot.
Biters - The Insecure Ones
Okay this time, I actually know what I'm talking about. For I used to be a biter myself. Never knew what people were talking about, what they were doing, I just followed along and acted like I knew what I was doing. Biters are very insecure about what they keep inside, away from the light. They don't know what to do, so they go to someone who they think is "cooler" than them, and copy what they have. Its a common thing on Myspace. It turns that person into something totally not them, and it gives the world another copy of a person. Have to follow you to wherever, have to do whatever you do, and etcetera and etcetera. You get the point. What I've done with a biter is just ignore them for awhile, and eventually, they leave you alone. Works? Yes. Unbelievable? Probably.
Hypees/Hypists - The Paparazzi
'Yeah man, just go with the flow." "OH now THAT is cool!" This stuff has gotten to these people too much. Snooping around for whats in and whats out, whats "cool" and whats not. Its pretty annoying actually, to talk about something and the next week or so having a person know all about that certain subject. Its also pretty creepy. These people are usually the people everyone talks about or listens to. The people that start the gossip about whos what or celebs. These people can tend to put other people down in order for them to stay on top of the hype. I've told one of these people off before about how fake they were being and they got mad. So mad it was actually pretty funny. It didn't change them, but it changed who they talked about.
Bullies - The Hard-Headed Ones
Logic can be reduced to shrambles if you don't know how to deal with these people. Bullies are like haters, but these people take it a step farther. They take your stuff, hit you, think they're better then you, and stuff like that. They have to keep there body in shape and have a certain possey following them like a pack of lemmings just to feel tough. If they don't have anyone to back them up, they're usually in a spot of trouble. These people have gone through some emotional or physical trauma and are afraid that if it gets out, they will be picked on. But making a name for themselves only makes it worse on them if it gets out. The best way to deal with these people is if you have almost no experience in fighting, to tell someone to help you out. Blackmail is not the way to go.
These are the basic categories of people who aren't themselves. I've had to deal with all these people before. So I know what I'm talking about kind of. Either way, now you know(if you didn't know before that is) how to deal with these types of people.
