Words can have an impact on a person that at times is far stronger than getting physically beaten up. Physical wounds can heal, the mental wounds can be far more difficult to heal. Some people are more sensitive than others and you think in most cases they just need to get over it, if only it were that simple. Can words weaken a person? Words at times are like the bullets of a gun and if you point it right, they'll hit you and you can be changed forever.
Kids especially are impressionable and vulnerable to bullying and even if they're taught to fight back, some way, an impact has been bestowed on them. Some of us are taught to stand up to bullies and take a stand for our own psyche and believe that nobody is going to bully us. It works at times but just about everything comes with a price. Sometimes the victim becomes the bully, what we see and hear can give us the impression that being a bully is inevitable, not always so.
Suicide rates from being bullied on social media these days is pretty damn high and it's a shame that has to happen to people whether it's the victim or the bullies themselves. On one end, a person makes the choice to be an asshole or that was what they were taught and learned how to belittle and poke at people. On another end, a person didn't do anything wrong yet is ridiculed for just having the wrong hair color or listens to terrible music or can't read a sentence without stuttering. Suicide is about suffering and ending that suffering and often times, people think it's selfish to take your own life but in certain cases, you can never understand the suffering someone goes through.
When you have haters, mainly it's either out of jealousy or they hate themselves so damn much that they have to take that hate on others in order to feel some sort of satisfaction. How could you hate someone that you don't even really know and why do you feel the need to hate on them because they're different or they're associated with someone or just flat out have a sickening passion to just hate and not look at the world around you? Success doesn't always come from something you were born as or born with, it comes from failing over and over again and not giving up until something clicks and continuing that click consistently.
Haters have issues with their own set of problems and at times hate on someone for no other reason than to just hate. They say things that really don't make any sense and try to call you out as if they think they can fight you when the truth is, they really can't. A lot of times, haters are basically cowards with nothing better to do than try to piss on your success and calling it Peach Tea. They're not your friend but at the same time, not really an enemy either unless it goes to an extreme setting because all they truly want is attention and to be recognized as the big dog when they're really a scared little poodle.
If you're successful, you're going to get some form of bullying or hating whether you want it or not and true success is taking the good with the bad. Some just love to talk shit just for the sake of being able to "talk" but in reality, what's the real issue here? What exactly triggered them to make them hate you so much? The answer, we don't truly know. Words can have an impact on people that triggers many things and we don't always know which ones are triggered or which ones that were deliberately thrown at.
Don't buy into the bullying and stick up for yourself if you have to or ask for help. If you have haters, keep your distance but stop being you. It's not easy, I understand that, trust me but the more you live with the love and compassion and success of your endeavor, the less noise comes from the haters and bullies are nothing more than turds with bad egos and a hate for themselves. Don't be a bully and don't hate on anyone.
