I wonder why certain individuals derive pleasure in bringing you down or demeaning you, especially when we know that nobody is perfect.

@likesnatural True, we can all use some positivity to be honest. I think we all kind of forget because we get wrapped up like that.

@likesnatural Thank you my friend, truly appreciated. You know, I realize it's been a very rough last few years for so many people. I think sometimes a lot of people need to vent, especially if they're stressed out. My perspective on that is, just dont take your hostility or frustrations out on others.

@SatanBurger Exactly, I believe that if we just close our eyes for a few moments and focus on the positive energy surrounding us we'll make it through OK. We're all wired differently so as they say, different strokes for different folks.

@sensualbeauty1 Pretty much, it also affects you not just in your mind but also your physical body too. Chronic stress leads to your nervous system being dysregulated which has a whole host of physical ailments so it affects you not just mentally but physically too. It's important that when people aren't on your level, you're not afraid to just say no or not be around that negative stuff. It takes a lot to walk away when they consistently entice you with whatever to get you back to them.

@SatanBurger You know thats a great answer and so true, if one can walk away from someone's constant negativity or consistently trying to bring you down to their level.
