I hate feeling like I need to tell myself to stop being mean or to stop acting defensive. I do this a lot in conversations and don't mean to. It's like I have really bad/off days all the time. I feel like I'm irritated most of the time and theres a part of me saying "no don't say that" and the other part saying "but I need to."

It's very frustrating. Anyone else have this?

I wish I could just be happy all the time and enjoy life. On my good days I feel like I'm being with sunshine and everyone loves me. And it shows. So whats up? Sheesh

Yeah, we all have days like that and what I do in those instances is "I fake it 'til I make it". It means just suffering through the people and situations that upset you, but still smiling through it, instead of getting upset. Just realize it won't last forever and who really cares who has the last word and what they really think?

Try and change your energy HappyKit,try more positive output in order to receieve more positive input. If I cannot stand someone, I distance myself from them, unless I have to work with them or something like that, then I am just cordial.
This approach is really working for me, though it seems like I lost many "friends" along the way, but ah well...life is more peaceful🙂



Yeah I do a pretty good job at distancing myself, but I do it to the point where my friends are usually the ones calling me asking where I've been because I will hold up for a long time and forget there are people on the outside.

I'm a big time introvert.

I try to be nice, and I even scream at myself in my head to quit being mean. It's so hard, its like a switch.
