I don’t mean this in a let’s enforce toxic positivity way. And maybe this sounds simple and obvious but I’ve learned from my own experience and observations that it can be off-putting to others to always be complaining, criticizing, or saying negative things! It can really bring the energy down whether it’s in interactions with close friends, significant others, family, coworkers, dates, or strangers and it doesn’t make people feel good.
This isn’t to say that you should never have critical thoughts, engage in difficult conversations, or share your heavy emotions with people you trust. but I think this is something people can do without even realizing it’s a pattern for them and it has an effect on your own psyche as well imo… and it feels great to bring a little light into someone’s day 🌦️
