What do you do when some family and friends say "all you say / think are negative about the world"
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I get this a lot. "You are so negative about everything, your outlook, worldview, nobody will want to be friends with you"
Sometimes I get "all the people you praise, most people view negatively, and the people you praise like Trump most people frown upon"
I stand my ground insisting I tell the truth at any cost, but in some ways, it hurts because it does feel isolating and alone. I get that being alone is one of the costs of telling the truth in this world. How do ya'll handle this?
We are not alone. Occasionally I run into the awoken. Feels good.
I get avoided for similar behaviors.
'When did you become so political' is one that stabs me in the leg. Haven't really. I just pay attention.
I have a habit of not wanting to be around the mindless. I try not to be in full retreat but I've tired of the sleepy folks. Slow boilers, they are.
Eagerly waiting to play my part and point to the right direction when these idiots finally open their eyes. Until then I just work hard at being friendly and giving a shit.
We started praying as a family to find other like-minded people for affirmation. Well, sunuvagun, wouldn't you know it, they've started coming out of the woodwork. It's amazing how our weekends suddenly filled up with new friends.
i get the same thing about politics. i've been told that's all i talk about. i was shocked, because i've never been a political person. then i said, apparently the reason i talk about politics a lot is because it's through politics that they are destroying our country.
