We had dinner at a friend’s place last Saturday night. After dinner, we had discussions and one of the questions thrown my way was, how I deal with haters. My short answer: I don’t! Because, why bother? Those people who hate you for reasons they believe is true and defines you do not need your time and effort, and those who do not believe any of the rumors do not need to any explanation from you. And honestly, unless my life and job are on the line, I will never get involved in mud-slinging with them, be it throwing it at them or to someone else’s direction. Life is already complicated as it is, and the last thing we need is to make it even more complicated. Imagine the kind of life that they have. Those haters need to find all the bad stuff about you and keep telling themselves and other people of that just so they can feel better about themselves. That is so sad, isn’t it? Better to channel all your time and energy to improving yourself, spending time with loved ones, and being the person that you truly are, and in the end people around you will know what you are truly made of.

long time, no see. it's not a nice feeling that people have misconceptions about you, and it's disappointing when people are swayed by them.

Completely agree with you, Thinking about haters are a waste of mental resources. I'd rather focus on what can be done and what should be done. Funny enough haters are usually jealous,bitter or just plain bored with their existences. They are like insects meant to give us a few annoying bites.
