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?
People are terrible judges of character & what is ethically / morally right. Speak out (respectfully). It is better to be hated for doing the right thing than being loved for doing the wrong thing. That being said, just tone it down for the sake of your friends and family. They're telling you, so don't ignore them. Someone who is constantly negative with nothing positive to say should be quiet often. They bring down the mood & morale. Try to sandwich your red pills in-between more mundane conversation topics. You could also try adding a positive spin at the end like: but I have faith these wrongs will be made right / not all is lost / there's still good ppl out there.
