Never Mind (the Haters)

What I Wore: H&M 'Never Mind' Top | GOWIGASA Cross Print Skirt, Studded Bag, and Lion Pendant Necklace | Swaychic Heels

A few days ago a fellow blogger asked me on Twitter if I've ever been bothered by 'haters'. Well, I guess if you are active in social media, it's likely that at some point you'll get at least one hater— it comes with the package! Not only in social media, you can also get spiteful haters in real life no matter how nice you think you are.

Dita Von Teese said it best:
"You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches."

Therefore the question is not "How to not be hated," it is "How to deal with haters." 

The best advice that has been proven to work for me is the classic "Never mind the haters." It's true, y'know, when you get back at haters, that just fuels them up to keep coming back at you. When you leave them alone, they leave you alone. In dealing with online haters, you can always use that cute 'block' button, it is there for a reason. Man, if I had a penny for every time I block someone. (Jess: "Me too!")

Moreover:
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

...see? Why should you be upset over what small minded people has to think or say about you? 

To sum up, here's few sentences from Johnny Depp which is related to this issue and has inspired me a lot. It is one of the quotes I live by :) Thank you Mr. Sparrow!



"Just keep moving forward and don't give a shit about what anybody thinks. Do what you have to do, for you."

  2. Stunning look as always, Elle! I am so in love with your amazing skirt and how it goes perfectly with your clutch! Also, those shoes are simply stunning :) I agree with you, let haters be haters. Wear what makes you feel comfortable, happy and confident! If you want to look at it from a positive angle, people just have different views on things and none of them are wrong or right!

  3. Your outfit is awesome!
    I don't get why people automatically hate people they've never met. It's fine to have your own opinion but when you go out of your way to try to make them feel bad, I don't see the point.
    I like your attitude towards haters :)
