18 People Share How They Succeeded In Spiting Someone Who Didn’t Believe In Them

Being told that we aren’t able to accomplish something can light a fire in our bellies and push us towards success. The desire to prove someone wrong while continuing to aim for your dreams is something that a lot of people can relate to. It’s a very human (and Panda!) thing.

LA-based TV and comic book writer Amanda Deibert started up an interesting thread on Twitter that quickly went viral. She asked people to open up about the times that someone told them that they couldn’t do something and they succeeded out of pure spite. And open up they did.

Scroll down for the most interesting success stories and for Bored Panda's interview with the author of the thread, Amanda.

Oh, and it’s important to remember that spite isn’t the only driving force for success—that’s exactly what Amanda stressed in a follow-up tweet. When you’re done reading this list, we’d love to hear about your greatest success, dear Pandas, whether out of spite or inner drive.
