Haters and Social Media

Haters is not a word that I like to use, and seems to be mainly used in America, but it probably best describes this topic.

I can talk about this, because I used to come from a place of hate, and that meant that my low self worth was leading me to a place of fear, and coming from fear means that you can be negative and even more so on Social Media.

I really fell foul of dealing with Social Media Trolls, even if they were right about me, they are still trolls and deal with negativity. I was not equipped to see it for what it was and walk away and hence I replied and tried to fight them.

My belief, is that you cannot have an open conversation with a hater on Social Media, as they have already made an opinion and it usually seems to be based on other people or things and does not even involve them.

The fact is, when people are coming from fear or in a difficult place, they or as I did, look for negativity and thrive off it, and as I have found out, they can even enjoy it and wish to cause harm to people.

That kind of behaviour certainly does not come from a good place, and it is usually via a fake account or done from distance and rarely ever to your face. I guess that the internet provides a nice safety net for people to say things that they would not say in person, it gives them what they see as power over others, but not in a positive or constructive way.

I have seen all the fake accounts, even accounts in my own name etc, and it got me thinking that these people must be struggling in their own lives, as they would be concentrating on looking at themselves and recognising their own behaviour?

It took me many years to recognise my own behaviour and to stop reacting to the hollow words of people coming from a bad place, in fact I choose to send them love and blessings because I think that they need it.

Haters on Social Media thrive off gossip and rumour, consistently believing that they are doing a Public service by letting people know who you are. The thing is, people of worth, do not get involved in rumour, gossip and negativity and so they are providing information to people who are in the same place as themselves.

I am happy to now be able to see how destructive people can be on Social Media and see my own mistakes and rectify them and even speak openly about them and the errors that I made.

I recently came across a Troll on another platform and they thought that they were being clever and so I thanked them and wished them well, and I will do the same to any more that arrive. I hope that you can look at your own issues, rather than using others as a vehicle for your own darkness, and pretending that you are doing a service to others.

I am not sure that many people ask Trolls to do things online, they appear to self title themselves and justify gossip and rumour as needed. Sometimes they even hide behind organisations so that they cannot be identified and all it does it shows people that you have the issue.

Most people are so busy getting on with the trials and tribulations of life, that they do not spend time listening to gossip and rumour and indeed, tend to go to the person direct.

So, a message to my haters, "I love you" You provide me with reasons NOT to go back to where I was, and thats very helpful and no matter how many blogs, fake accounts and more that you create, it only shows you for who you are, a person of low self worth and needing LOVE.
