My family is full of people who are very negative in general and they deal with things in a very negative way. I thought my husband was a positive person with goals and dreams of his own, but it didn’t turn out that way. I am the type of person who has dreams and goals in life and I like to meet those goals…and I did for a little while. Now, recently I can’t seem to meet or accomplish the simplest of goals or plans I set for myself. All my plans seem to to go un done lately and it’s starting to bother me. My husband has turned out to be just as negative as the rest of my family.
All they do is go on and on to me about how they want this or that in life, but they never lift a finger to make it happen…they don’t even try. I encourage all of them, I even offer to do whatever I can to help them make their dreams come true, but they never make any effort for themselves. Whenever I come up with any solutions for them, they always seem to be full of excuses. It’s as if all they want to do is complain about how unsatisfied they are with how things are in their lives and whine about how they wish they could do this or that. Frankly, I am sick of it and have told them how I feel because now I feel as though their attitude and way of thinking is bringing me down and effecting me. I have goals and dreams that I am trying to meet and their negativity is starting to bum me out. I can’t help who my family is, but now that my husband has shown his true colors, I am completely surrounded by negative people who only complain, but do nothing to change their situation. Is there anyone out there who can give some advice as to how I can stay sane in this situation? Your help is appreciated.
