How to be a better person by jmillgraphics

"It was a long, hard, and frustrating road to travel, but worth it."

How I did it: I ended up dating a man who is now my husband. As far as personalities go, we were total opposites. After seeing all of the positive things people would say about him, and all the people that liked him, I decided to follow his examples.

Lessons & tips: The best tip I can give anyone, is to surround yourself with people you want to be like. Maybe you only need that 1 person to help you out. Eventually you end up picking up on their positive attitude or whatever you're after.

You have to realize that in most cases, this is a life changing thing. If you have been the way you are for like 15 years, it's going to take more than a few weeks to become better. Just take your time, and you will see that after each year, you are that much closer to your ultimate goal.

Great!

I’m glad you want to try and change for the better. It was hard for me to change because I looked at things the wrong way. Anytime my husband would try to tell me I was being rude, or too forward, I would see it as him trying to change me.

After a while, I realized that maybe he just wanted people to not take me the wrong way. He never said anything abut me when it was just us, so that had to be it. It took some years, but I can see how much more considerate and confident I am with what I say and do.

Good luck and hang in there.

Truth

This is very accurate. It really does depend on the people you are around, what activities you guys do, how they feel about you, and how you feel about them.
I had one group of friends for a while in my life then i started hanging out with some other people and i started doing the kinds of things they did and over time became much more like them than my old friends, however once i met my current boyfriend he started to inspire me to be a better person, i realized i was becoming someone i didn’t want to be. I have begun to change consciously and unconsciously and while my old friends were always somewhat there now i am back to hanging out with them and feeling good about myself for the first time in years.
It really does have a lot to do with who you spend time with
