I will admit that I do have some body issues, self esteem issues, and I worry waaaay too much about what others think of me. So lately, I have been trying to encourage myself to hang around people and make friends with people who are positive and are interested in being positive and making a difference, instead of just being down in the dumps and complaining about everything, and ultimately, bringing me down with them! However...a lot of my old friends do not think this way and I tend to get really negative around them, and I end up wallowing in a collective pool of misery. I don't want to cut off relations with them completely, but at the same time I do think I need to be around others who share the same positive energy I would like to have.
How do I do this without offending my old friends, so that they don't get the impression that "I'm too good for them"? Or perhaps, I should stop caring about what others think of me and do what is best for me in a respectful manner to others?
