Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. With the rise of social media and technologies, cyberbullying has become very common among teenagers. Cyberbullying is very harmful and in fact traumatizing. In fact, Hana Kimura, from the Netflix's series Terrance House, took her own life in part due to the major stress she was getting from online bullies and haters. In this video, Psych2Go want to cover some of the main reasons why haters hate.

Do you know any haters in your life? Are you dealing with haters right now? A hater is someone who’s negative, who’s critical, who judges you harshly for no reason. So, how to deal with haters, you might ask? Hate is almost impossible to avoid. "Haters gonna hate" and there’s always going to be people out there who can’t deal with who we are. But what can we do? Perhaps, understanding why they hate would be a good start. Empathizing can always be the start of a piece of mind. What do you think? Is empathizing being the bigger person?

If you find this video helpful, you can share it with someone who might be experiencing cyberbullies, bullies, or haters to help them empathize.

Have you ever noticed a friend who always cancels plans last minute? It might be due to social anxiety disorder symptoms having kicked into their system, instead of rudeness.

Everyone experiences some level of social anxiousness at one time or another, but those with SAD experience an above-average to severe level of worry, fear, and panic in social situations. Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is defined as the “marked and persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or possible scrutiny by others.”

Do you often feel what others do? Or understand what people are going through? If so, you might be an empath. Empaths can feel other people’s emotions as if they were their own. Empaths tend to be highly perceptive and sensitive, which makes them some of the most understanding and compassionate people out there. However, there are many drawbacks to being an empath. Curious to learn what these difficulties are? This video might interest you!
