13  Haters everyone knows and how to curb them
1. The Patronizer
Photo: reactiongifs.com "Awe,
congratulations! You finally finished school.
That's nice." Wait, I'm confused...she said
congrats, it sounds like a compliment, but
what's with the condescending tone? And,
why the " finally?" The Patronizer elevates
themselves by talking down to others.
2. The Prodder

character quietly antagonizes and prods, and
when someone finally gets fed up with their
shenanigans, they play innocent, like they
have no idea what provoked that reaction.
3. The Veiled Insulter

throws shade at everything — from your
appearance to your background to
your credentials — but they hide
their demeaning jabs with smiles and subtle
anecdotes.
4. The Pessimist

not to take it personally. The Pessimist is
just a hater of life in general. With this kind
of overall negative orientation, they always
magnify the worst and stand in habitual side-
eye of virtually everything and everyone.
5. The Spinner

enough that they low-key detest you, they
need accomplices. They go extra hard to
discredit you, tarnish your character and
convince others to question your motives.
They put a negative spin on everything you
do and sponsor J. Edgar Hoover level
propaganda campaigns to recruit allies in
their hate.
6. The Crab

penalties for anyone who dares to crawl
outside the barrel. They can't stand to see
you doing well, and will bring up the worst of
your past, employ the silent treatment, enact
social exclusion, whatever it takes to put you
back in "your place."
7. The Performer

a friend...until there's an audience. Not only
do they relate to you differently in mixed
company, but you become the butt of the
joke when other people are around.
8. The Guilt Tripper
Photo: lipstickalley.com You're not sure how
it happened, but somehow you have found
yourself responsible for another grown adult.
The Guilt Tripper is a master of
manipulation. Dare say "no" to their irrational
request for support, and watch the temper
tantrum begin.
9. The Deflector

constantly finding themselves at odds with
others, it's never EVER their fault. They don't
have the capacity for self-examination. When
conflict arises, they deflect blame and paint
the other party as the villain.
10. The Deflater

Brace yourself for the deflation at every
interaction. Whatever you're excited about,
they will find a way to minimize it.
11. The Instigator

from keeping up drama and instigating mess.
What sounds like genuine concern and
thoughtful questioning is just them collecting
and delivering information between parties
to stir the pot.
12. The One Upper

When they see you winning, it literally makes
them itch. They desperately need to feel
above you.
13. The Sabotager
