Hi there Seddit. I'm currently wrestling with a burning question which I would like to pose to the community: how do you deal with being hated?

See now I've always been the kind of guy to placate the people around me; make sure everyone is happy and doing my best to minimise any kind of conflict. Keep the peace. With. Everyone. Typical Nice Guy™ behaviour I guess. (It stems for a messed up childhood where both my parents were physically abusive, but that's a tale for another day.)

So lately I have been having quite a bit of success with women. Several kiss closes and f-closes with multiple women in each of my social circles (I'm part of a Tuesday night run club, friends from a cafe I used to work at, Friday Night Drinks Crew at my current work place, a "Newbies To The City" Meetup I go to...) and I won't lie I have been loving it!

Side affect though has been a deminished (or should I say "changed"?) reputation... As I used to be the sweet reliable guy that could be trusted with your deepest darkest secrets, now I have turned into a "self-serving shallow scumbag who endlessly fucks around", a "two-faced incincere liar" and "an unreliable cunt"... Things that I never thought that would ever be said about me, are now being said about me.

I won't deny any of these observations as frankly I have been acting like a bit of an unreliable cunt lately...

Just. I dunno. Do y'all have stories like this? This is just part of the journey isn't it? The change from being a wimpy little doormat to a man of substance requires a certain amount of vitriol being thrown your way.

To;dr: How do y'all deal with the haters?
