DEALING WITH YOUR HATERS (NOT STRANGERS, BUT THE ONES CLOSEST TO YOU)

I always know when I’m near one of my ‘haters’. Sure, I may sometimes refuse to admit it to myself but my body never lies when it knows I’m possibly about to come under attack. I immediately feel uncomfortable when I’m in the presence of someone who is out to hurt me. My throat begins to restrict a little. My voice becomes strained. My breathing fastens and my heart beats
