Adhere and say thank you: Another way is to say Thank You while addressing comments, just by saying that you can avoid different confusions and future commenting from the second party. Rather than deleting or ignoring, one can easily share a thank you message to break any further barriers.  Make them feel heard and listened: Humans expect to be listened to and heard by other people, thus even if it's a hate comment make sure to make them feel heard and listened to make things clear and simple with both the parties. Use a more tactful approach and be eloquent while addressing the person.  Don't reply in a haste: One is recommended to not reply in haste and make decisions for the future. Let it dwell and do not irritate the hater by continuous nagging and make the conversation more complex. Be diplomatic and calm while replying to a person to avoid any hasty decisions and hindrances.  Correction is the key: If someone is diligent enough to catch your mistakes, make sure to learn from them and correct them rather than being egoistic about the same. One can also explain their point of view and work accordingly to make it work for both of the parties because you never know when that frustration can turn into loyalty from your customer's point of view. So, correct and learn.   <img alt="" src="https://viralpitch.co/blimg/files/hate-comments-song-madilyn-14-5e60ca3e4ed31__700.jpg" style="height:394px; width:700px" />   <h2>Signs to know you are dealing with trolls and hate comments: </h2> They wish to trigger you and make you feel angry: Many people troll to upset and trigger the other person.
