I never viewed myself as having enemies, nor do I "hate" anyone. From day one, I have just been myself. I am brutally honest, to the point of being abrassive at times, but I am just me. I was this way before I had $1000 in my bank account. 99% of the haters are jealous.
Do you still have many friends that you keep in touch with from highschool and university? What is their opinion about what you do?
I keep in touch with a few. Most of them do not understand what I do, or how I do it.
Most of my friends have been made through the biz over the last 8 years. I find it easier to relate to people in the biz for some reason.

I think you put people off only when they are either self conscious or brutally honest themselves.. or just plain have skeletons in the closet and are worried that you will mention them. My only problem with you is that you see everything you are doing right now (not 20/20 hindsight) as being RIGHT, CORRECT and the BEST OPTION. Well, as it turns out, by your own admission, they are not always right a year or two later. But that is no reason for people to HATE you. Just deal with you differently and realize that you are also a prankster who doesn't mean harm by it.
