How to deal with negative family?

[chevelle]

I am going to be completely honest. I don't have too many friends(
The friends i do have are either too lazy to go out or are P---y whipped, so i feel alone most of the time)and i spend way too much time around my family.

My family makes me so angry due to their constant pessimism and negative way of thinking. I haven't accomplished a whole lot, so they are constantly comparing me to others and speaking to me as if i have some type of disability that prevents me from be successful. They constantly try to put me in my place by needlessly insulting me and i find this to be both embarrassing and hurtful.

I really do want to get away from my family, but as of right now i am stuck dealing with them. Do any of you have any suggestions, in dealing with this cancer in my life? They are really starting to p--- me off, and trust me when i say i am a gentleman.

Negative people can bring you down as you well know.

If you really cannot get away from them you will just have to remind yourself that they likely talk so badly about you because they don't have a whole lot going on in their own lives to keep them occupied.

Their criticism of you is likely a reflection of their sadness and regret at their own life failures.

They are negative toward you because of your ways.


They weren't able to teach you properly, and now they are angry because of the way you turned out. It's ironic.


It is proven. If you improve yourself, they will also improve them selves. They will put them selves out of the whole they stuck in. All you have to do is improve yourself, and be the best you could be.



They are not a factor in your progress. Because you progress in your own reality, they aren't inside if you don't let them.

Define "stuck." If you aren't with them 24x7 you are stuck. Now if you are spending (wasting) time trying to argue you ideals, you may feel stuck but it's on your own accord. It's their home and they choose however way they perceive the world (especially within their walls). Until you can get out on your own, respect their right to have their opinions and if they won't respect yours, keep them to yourself; they are your opinions anyway. You own the right to them and how to react when they are challenged by others.
