How should you deal with haters? What should you do when you come across online negativity and online bullies who just like to leave negative comments and criticism on your work?
As health entrepreneurs, part of our journey will always involve dealing with people. Some will be great and supportive, while others just might not approve of your work, methods or philosophies. Other times, you'll just encounter people who can be critical and malicious for seemingly no reason.
So, how do you deal with haters? Today’s video sheds some light about handling online bullies and online negativity.
I recently had an encounter while I was out to pick up my bubble tea downtown. I got approached by a guy who blew a minor issue out of proportion. When I usually do my bubble tea run, I park my car on the side street with my flashers on since there's no parking spot in the area and I'd only be there for a few minutes to grab my order.
The guy calls me out and starts saying inappropriate criticisms and insults. The situation quickly escalated. And it made me realize that I'd be responsible for the outcome of that confrontation. I had a choice about how I'd react to this. And instead of fighting back, I made the mature decision to walk away.
This applies to life in general, and the online space is no different. I often come across online negativity directed at me on social media. In the past, I’ve made the mistake of engaging with online bullies. However, there's a better way to deal with haters than to resort to their tactics.
Watch the whole video to know how best to react when faced with online negativity, and what to do when you encounter online bullies as a health entrepreneur.
