In this life we are always being judged by someone who is doing worst than us and its pointless to feed into it and stress what others think or say about you. I had to learn this the hard way.
I used to worry about what others would think of me and that would stop me from doing things that were better for me. The key is to remove the negative people from your life and learn to love yourself before anyone.
After that its alk about finding what makes you happy and making the best of life!
Life is too short to care about people who are to busy judging you rather than helping you!
Just a little food for thought!

I have found that being negative does me no good, so I have decided that I want to be happy. I do have to work at it though, as it is can be daunting sometiems, especially when things seem to go the opposite of what I thought they would. I know that we are just a bout two weeks into the new year, and things are going better for me than at this time last year. I know that this year will be a godo one, so that I will be happy, and not negative.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX That is so true. People will do that, as that is life, We just have to know how to deal with it. It is hard sometimes, but we have to do our best to keep a good attitude.

I used to get wrapped up as well with negativity when someone would piss me off and in the end I was only hurting myself

Excellent.Sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Negative people are in the world and sometimes we can be negative ourselves but there's some who we be negative no matter what can we can either allow them to ruin our lives or lives happily.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX But then, if you realize you have a choice on how to respond, you can nip the negativity in the bud. When my Dad heard someone bad mouthing another, he'd say "But they always speak so well of you. . ." Usually that shut them up.

You have a very beautiful family! And you are correct, those who have the gall to dictate what you should and should not do with your life oftentimes turn out to be the ones who do not have it together. Most likely they want you to feel bad like you are doing the wrong thing, and when you gave in, they will feel better. Imagine what kind of principle is that - making others feel bad so they can feel good about themselves. As long as you are not hurting anyone and your priorities are straight then I say you keep going.

You're right, these people who put you down and judge you they don't care about you at all. so we should just live our lives and be happy regardless of what other people think.

I feel the same way @BACONSTRIPSXXX. Eliminating some unnecessary thoughts has been my way of living a happy and getting back positivity in life at hard times.

Yup i used to have people like this that's why i keep my circle of friends short and i don't go out very much. I'm mostly home or with my boyfriend, family and few friends that i do have. I try to steer away from drama etc.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I was serious. The thought that people around us can influence us in a negative way is very true if we let them. Better to consider what is more important. The picture of love says it best.

I agree, don't worry about what other's think of you. If I had let what other's think of me years ago, I wouldn't be where I am today.
