Critics are people who think they know better.
Haters are people trying to bring you down.
Listen to the critics, but only if they have earned your trust through genuine expertise or through a bond of friendship.
Haters, well, first of all don’t be one, and second of all don’t feed the monsters, if you find them. They’re incurable.
James Clear wrote a good piece on it here and I made a quote he over heard into a snazzy inspirational thingy.
