The Negative

My other thought is that there is a lot of negativity, coming from other people, that I must avoid.

It might mean cutting off from these people, I don't know. But its hard to not be poisoned in some ways by people who are dark and deeply disturbed by their own neuroses in life.

Let the problems of others be their own problem. But I would like to surround myself with happier, lighter people who are not going to destroy by psyche.

This is what I would prefer to have -- people around me who engage in the world and are happy. Or happier.
