can I cheer up?

All of your problems are self-inflicted.

I'm open to talking about that, although the brevity of your posts suggests you just felt like kicking a nigga when he self-identified as being down.

In times like that I force myself to become a beacon of positivity and inspiration.

I don't even let negative thoughts enter my mind.

I make an extra effort to be more productive and helpful and generous. As long as you do it sincerely, it'll rub off on other people and they'll pick up on it. Positive vibes are contagious.

Notice how the negativity of the people around you makes you start to feel bad? If you give in, it'll descend further and further. Negativity begets negativity. Don't let yourself be bitter or pessimistic. It'll try to sneak out of us through little quips or snark or bitchiness like "oh of COURSE X happens right when I'm Y". Don't let it. Firmly contain it at its root and keep it in its place.

Don't let it "bottle up" either though. Try to think about it neutrally and passively and accept it for what it is, but reject the bitterness you want to feel as a result.

>yes that person cut me off but it's not a big deal I'm not gonna let myself blow up over something stupid

You sound like a person that already tries to stay positive, but the negativity around you is wearing you down. I think you're just a passively positive person though, so try to be ACTIVELY positive and radiant. I try to channel Jupiter (abundance, generosity, kindness, charisma).

yeah. I fell off the active positivity wagon. I'm gonna try to get back on. I was thinking about getting someone a gift already.

I'll be going to a support group (because goddamn you need something), and I'll try to be positive there. I don't see signs of things turning around but I know they can, and we need to hold out until they do...

Thank you anon for recognizing

No i meant it honestly.

Man up to your roommate.

Cut your losses with your friend. Not everyone can be saved, some will always turn to drugs in the end.

Seems a bit pretentious to say your girlfriend lacks insight. Seems immature.

This is the sane, behaved world. Most people are poor.
