Here are some ways that will help you deal with mean and hateful people:
Step back and give yourself time to process the situation.
It is usually a good idea to step back and give yourself time to process the situation. If you can, try to put as much space between you and the person as possible. If you are going to be facing him or her again soon, try to prepare for it in advance. Get your thoughts together and practice some positive affirmations that will help you stay calm. Remember, no one deserves to be treated poorly because of their words and actions.
Try not to engage in any negative conversations with them.
This is a good rule of thumb when dealing with anyone, not just mean and hateful people. You want to avoid letting them get under your skin and try to control how you’re feeling. Letting someone else affect your mood can be really draining and no one deserves that. It’s important not to engage in any negative conversation with the person you’re talking about. If they start trying to push your buttons or say something that’s rude or insensitive, then just try to disengage from the situation. This way you won’t become upset or let them have power over you which can be done by getting into an argument with them, which they might enjoy more than anything else.
Keep your emotions in check and avoid losing your temper.
One of the most important things to remember is to keep your emotions in check and avoid losing your temper. Sometimes, people are rude or hateful because they’re hurting inside. It might be hard for you to get past the mean words, but try not to get angry or lash out. Use this situation as an opportunity to remember why you do what you do. Remember that there are people who need your help and care, even if one person isn’t receptive.
Don’t allow them to control your mood or ruin your day.
One of the worst things that can happen is allowing these people to control your mood or ruin your day. If you’re having a bad day, what better way to make it worse than dealing with these types of people who are only looking for someone to put down?
It will be hard not to take them personally. You might think that they are hating on you personally, but usually these type of people are just hateful by nature. They will say all sorts of things about other people, but it doesn’t mean they are talking about you.

It’s hard to deal with mean and hateful people. They say and do things that we might not always want to hear. But, there are things we can do to protect ourselves and still feel good about ourselves in the process.
We don’t have to respond to their negativity or give them the satisfaction of knowing they’ve gotten to us. There is a lot of power in knowing that we don’t have to take on the responsibility of their feelings and we don’t have to allow them to control our mood.
It’s not easy, but we owe it to ourselves and our mental health to take care of ourselves in the face of their repulsive behavior.
