Frequently asked questions
3. Kill Them with Kindness
Did someone leave you a nasty tweet? Respond with an unexpectedly nice tweet. Is someone being a real pain in the a** at work? Bring them cookies. If nothing else, you'll leave them really, really, confused.
4. Confront Them
I usually avoid confrontation at all costs, but sometimes there's no escaping it. Have an honest talk with your hater and try to get to the root of what their problem is. It may or may not work but it's worth a shot.
5. Don't Interact with Them More than You Have to
There's no need for that kind of negativity in your life.
6. "Delete" Them if You Can
Delete and block them from your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media accounts, and most importantly delete them from your life!
7. Don't Waste Time Losing Your Mind over It
Seriously, it's not you, it's them. So don't waste your time and energy trying to figure out what you did wrong or how you can make it right. It's not worth it.
8. Shake It off
Taylor says it best.
9. Be Even More Awesome!
Simple as that!
