“It’s funny that people’s perception of me is that I’m some sort of wild animal when, in fact, I’m interested in interviewing the wild animal because I am so controlled.” Howard Stern
Perception:
Horse shit you can leverage
From time to time, throughout all the years since I have exposed my lifestyle and turned into a public persona, this question inevitably popped out:
How Do You Deal With People Who Don’t Like You?
Do you have haters? How do you deal with them? Let’s face it, we all have that kind of followers but you are the only one who never seems to mind. What’s more, you actually seem to enjoy it and have fun when these things happen.
We started a discussion on this subject and I told her my conclusions:
I never try to change someone’s bad opinion of me
Au contraire, sometimes I take pleasure in showing that person that I am exactly the way she/he’s imagined. Or worse. I know. It’s so Maleficent but I do have a lot of fun in the process. Hahhaa, if I could only describe a few events you’ll understand.
I never try to excuse myself or explain my actions
Sure, I can talk about them but I never, never, never try to justify what I did to a person who I know is not willing to listen to me with an open mind and heart.
I know exactly who I am
No, really. Even psychologists told me. I am extremely self-aware. I am an old soul, to speak in the new spiritually trendy therms. I know my principles, my fears and flaws. What I want to achieve in life, as well. I acknowledge my qualities, but also my negative parts. And I am at peace with who I am. I never ask from anyone more than I give and I also don’t allow someone’s opinions about my actions to rule my life.
I never worry about isolation
I noticed that many people panic when they find out that someone doesn’t like them,because they think that person will somehow infect others with the ‘Don’t like her/him’ serum and they will end up with no friends. Mannn. that’s such a useless fear. You’ll never be alone. Do you know how many people are on this planet? Let me tell you: Too many. Breathe. Relax. Nobody can take your friends away. And if somehow they do, (fake friends, circumstances, etc, etc, etc) just think it’s a new social start for you. And enjoy your few weeks alone. Who knows? Maybe you’ll discover you didn’t want to be their friend to begin with.
It’s THAT easy. Or maybe it’s THAT easy for me. Cause I really am a bitch witch. #hahaha



Now that’s one healthy approach!
Haha, ce tare e citatul
Esti unde dintre cele mai tari persoane pe care le cunosc, cine nu te place, clar are o problema :))
I envy your self confidence 🙂 <3
Cu riscul de a parea cetateanul turmentat, cand ne spui mai multe despre the blogging academy? I’m so excited!!
Luna viitoare 🙂
Lately you’re no longer the Countess of the Internet, you’re the Wise Countess of the Internet :)) Love your blog 😀
Abia astept sa ajung si eu in punctul in care voi fi la fel se sigura pe mine si puternica ca tine 🙂 Esti o mare inspiratie pentru mine, iti multumesc pentru toate postarile frumoase!
Indiferent ce faci, vor exista oameni carora ceva nu o sa le convina. Ignore the haters 😉
@ Laura Bine punctat! Este imposibil sa fii pe placul tuturor si a incerca sa faci asta mi se pare o actiune autodistructiva (tried and tested). Nu am incercat atitudinea Maleficent pentru ca nu mi se potriveste si prefer sa nu le acord prea multa atentie.
