Don’t go back for more.  Stop participating in the negativity.

Surround yourself with positive people and those who, while in their company make you feel good about yourself.  Also, a healthy dose of not caring what people think, and being comfortable in your skin will reduce those inferior reactions.

Since we can’t take a happy pill and get over it, we have to look to other methods to adapt.  How about embracing it?  Owning it?  Get mad.  Deal, then heal.  No happy Read more →
