Lately I’ve been catching myself becoming more and more a negative person. I’ve cut ties with friends and always seem to find myself in drama because I don’t know how to keep my mouth shut. I always feel like I need to defend myself/put someone in their place. I feel my reasons are justified, but there is a better way to go about things. I’m longing for a friendship with a positive individual that lifts me up instead of bringing me down. I’m tired of always being happy for people, but when it’s my turn they have an attitude. I’ve shut down. I’m exhausted. The same feelings are true when I’m dealing with coworkers. I know I’m part of the problem. I’m not sure if this even makes sense. I’d love advice on how to be more mature and handle my emotions.
