- Fame comes with both obsessive fans (fanboys) who uncritically adore you and haters who obsessively dislike you, and they are essentially the same phenomenon with the sign flipped.
- Haters are characterized by their obsession, seeing you as a fraud because they cannot reconcile your fame with their negative view of you, and they are often frustrated individuals who have achieved little.
- The best way to deal with haters is to not think much about them, as they are equivalent to fanboys; their behavior is not a personal dispute but a reflection of their own issues.
