They say misery loves company...

You ever notice the same people have bad days over and over again?

Let me try to explain myself a little better.  I've been on facebook and twitter long enough to see a pattern.  The same people are complaining everyday.  This is because they have very low self esteem. 

It's much easier to get people to agree with you when you're bitching about something.  It's a sick fact of nature that misery loves company.  When we hate others, we probably hate ourselves too.

I have thought long and hard about deleting those people as my friends on facebook, and not following on twitter.  The problem is that these people can be really nice people in real life, under the right circumstances.

But I am a firm believer that negativity spreads like wild fire.  Those negative thoughts don't help me on my path of happiness.

But, there are a few people that always post positive quotes and thoughts of the day that make facebook and twitter worth while.  These seem to be the people with high self worth.  I need more of that and less of the complaining.

Now, let me say this though too.  I understand that sometimes people need to vent.  I vent a lot.  I mean look at this post.  It's the daily stressed out people that make it a unhealthy environment for us all.

I agree. I go on YouTube and see people posting racist comments. I tell myself to ignore them but it hurts all the same. I'm thinking they just are negative people who really hate themselves. Same goes for Facebook. This posting really helped me see how I need to remove negative people out of my life and not let all the negativity bring me down.
