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?
now, i just plant seeds and stop. i used to go all in with explanations and it would end up in fights. i'm tired of fighting. you know what it's like to fight with a liberal, it's all feelings with them and when you bring up FACTS they start yelling and screaming, i can't take it any more.
so take my seed and plant it or let it blow away in the wind. i did my part, they need to do theirs.
I tried that with a group of coworkers as well (plant seeds of truth) - few of them went on to "get boosters" for themselves and their kids. However, one of them shared with the group that they were looking for child daycare facilities and it's getting difficult to find a spot, especially those that don't require the clot shot.
At least the latter made me ecstatic - this person originally took the shot.
