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?
I think we lead by example. I refused the vax, while 90% of my family willingly gave their arm, and more than once. I post daily on social media different memes and ideas that they’ll see about the reality we live in. I sneak truth into innocent conversations. Through the years, as their reality continues to show them what’s true, they begin to listen to me more. Two days ago, my daughter, a nurse, finally said she wasn’t getting any more vaccines. That’s victory right there. It was slow and hard won, but it’s victory. Lead by example. Be strong in your convictions. Offer a few morsels here and there when you can. Basically, ride a tall horse through your family without saying a word. Live by your convictions. Some will come around.
