for myself. In return I am much happier, I have two great kids and would never changed a thing if I had to do it again. So, if you are in one these relationships do not feel bad because it happens a lot I see and sometimes it is hard for people to break away from the negativity.

The world is full of negativity and we as people can get caught up in negativity if we forget about our own morals. I mean I am not a bible beater but I do have morals that I try to make my own commandments for me to follow. If I catch myself breaking my morals I will step back and reevaluate what I am doing. This becomes easier when you get older but when you are young it is hard to stick too because of all the different people that come into your life. My advise for this is to ask yourself a few questions. Would this person help you if you were in trouble? Could you trust this person enough to give them a hundred dollars and not think twice about it? Would this person do something in return after you have gone out of your way to help them? If you answered yes to all of these questions then I say you are on the right track of finding a true positive friend. Remember this, people come in and out of our lives all the time and we need to be smart about who we choose to be with and if they are showing signs of negativity maybe it is best to be cordial and be polite but do not get too involved because they can certainly ruin your life before you even realize it.

One last thing, I am not out to judge people that I believe are negative because that is one thing I will try to avoid as one of my morales. Even thou I notice things I am one not to try to jump and try to change every single person that is negative because sometimes that is a lost cause. I have tried to help negative people in the past but if they refuse to do anything about themselves and want a new positive outlook then do not beat a bush and try to be a hero. Some people like to be negative because that is all they know and almost always those people are too hard to reach and change for better. Some do change, but just because you live a certain way in positiveness does not mean everyone sees it the same way you do, so try to avoid being too boastful because then we are too good for anyone and then that can lead to stubbornness and unwillingness to trust anyone we have a relationship with in the future.
