I realized that rather than letting go of the negative people in my life (avoiding them all together), I need to change my perception about them.

I am choosing to let go of my attachment to their negativity.

It reminds me of that quote: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle”. I think either Elizabeth Barrett Browning or Plato said that. I think about that quote everyday, I should probably find out who actually said that.

Really negative people are very draining (& not much fun), but they are just doing the best they can with the tools they have.

difficult goal 1 year ago

I’ve found that one way to cope with negative people is to imagine that they are cartoon characters.

It works.
