Handling Haters & Hypercritical People on the Internet

If the fear of other people “hating” on you holds you back from posting on social media and growing your online presence as a current or aspiring coach or influencer, this episode is for you.It’s important to note that when I say “haters,” I’m not talking about people offering genuine constructive criticism – that’s different. Instead, I’m talking about the people who are determined to pick you and your content apart no matter what you do. It’s the people who you’re probably NEVER going to please. Sometimes, they’re the loudest voices in your comment section and DMs… and they can make you feel pretty horrible (I know from experience).Today I’m sharing reasons people may be hypercritical as well as how I handle not-so-supportive people, both on the internet and in real life, with the goal of helping you overcome your fears, grow your confidence and post whatever you want online – because haters gonna hate.In this episode, I cover:When I started working to grow my online presence (and a mention of my VERY old fashion blog that still lives on the internet) [4:10]Feeling hurt by other people’s harsh opinions but not letting that hold me back [6:00]Why “if you want to be loved, get comfortable with being loathed” is 100% accurate [7:40]The inevitability of someone not liking you – no matter what you do or don’t do online [10:05]People lashing out when they just don’t vibe with you for whatever reason [14:30]Your success or good fortunate “triggering” someone [16:35]How a difference in values can bring someone’s inner hater out [19:15]A criticism I often received as a fitness coach and why I stopped taking it personally [21:00]The unfortunate truth: Some people think they need to knock someone else down to feel good [25:35]Examples of respectful critical feedback that I’ve appreciated [30:00]How someone’s jealousy of a person they see online can manifest in hateful, rude comments [31:00]An example of a hater trying to take away from my success and how it made me feel [33:35]Why I’m able to more easily let go of people’s mean comments these days [34:40]How happy, content, fulfilled people behave (hint: they’re not the ones coming for you online) [36:20]The reasons I’ve come to believe that most mean comments have very little to do with me at all [38:35]A pep talk for feeling the fear and doing it anyway when it comes to posting online and receiving hateful or overly critical comments/DMs [40:10]Connect with Lynette:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynettemarieh Coaching With Impact Facebook group (my free business coaching group!): https://www.facebook.com/groups/coachingwithimpact Fitness Coaching Business Accelerator: http://lynettemariefitness.com/acceleration/
