What would you do if you are an optimistic but around negativity all the time and can't seem to get away?

Answer 1

be the light that you seek. be the change that you wish. meaning, if you aren't getting it from your environment, and you can't change your address or the people you are surrounded by - then, you can change the things you let sink in. By example, you be optimistic, you demonstrate the way you want to see the world. You don't engage in the defeating chatter -- you invite them to think differently. You expose yourself to things that are inspiring and creative, and make sure those things are visible and present in all aspects of your being, of living. Hopefully, people will see this, and want some of what you have. Then, your optimism will have inspired them to get some for themself.
Hang in there!

Answer 2

Look at the situation optimistically: even though you are constantly surrounded by negativity, you yourself have still managed to maintain an optimistic outlook.

Think of this time as a trial. Since you have not let the other people get to you that means that you are succeeding.

Answer 3

I would take distance from people and situations that are negative ( I do actually). You definitely CAN get away from those in your mind. Do You understand the meaning of being there and not being there at the same time?... That's what I do and this way I keep my energy for constructive thoughts, not waste my time with someone or something that will do me no good!

Good luck. Have a wonderful day!

Answer 4

I smile and pretend that no matter what they say or do, they are optimistic too. All you can do is love them and hope that they will come around.
