keep negative people out of my life

I’m finding it hard to keep this going. I have lingering relationships that are extremely passive aggressive, I can’t seem to get out of them.

This is an important one.

And by negative, I don’t mean people who are depressed and sad, usually those are the people who need contact and listening to the most.

Negative people

• who cut down others and belittle their dreams
• who pride in calling themselves “bitches” or “bastards”
• who always seem to have something bad to say about everything
• who are insensitive to the people around them

I’m sure these people are essentially good and harbour some issues and insecurities to make them act that way, but I don’t want them around me. I want to be surrounded by positive people, to enjoy time together and work together towards mutal goals.
