“I honestly love being around positive people. You’re not judged, there’s no drama, everyone just wants to relax and have a nice time.”

Like you, I have had some very negative people in my life.

I’ve also had the pleasure of being with positive people.

Prior to doing my own inner work to deal with long-term anxiety and depression, when I was around positive people I felt ill at ease and uncomfortable.

Perhaps you have felt the same way and thought that it meant that you just shouldn’t be around positive folks?

I know I did. I questioned if I could be around them and ever feel comfortable because their frame of reference was so very different from mine.

Now that I’ve done a lot of inner work on myself, I’ve come to realize that my discomfort was because I had no experience feeling positive in my own skin.

I found that part of my methods to teach myself to like myself and to heal from the traumas and the abuses from my past also helped me to develop a positive outlook by having created a positive inner space.

After I walked through this transformation within myself I found that I enjoyed being around positive people because I now had experience with it and could relate to it!

If you wish to start on this path yourself, start with practicing suspending judgement of yourself and speaking gently to yourself.
