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?
Another response that works "I understand that thinking about all the things you have loved all your lives in a different light can be painful ... personally I would rather know the truth than live in false comfort, but I completely respect your choice not to"
I've yet to meet anyone who regrets having taken off their blinders.
