I grew up with negative parents that had a negative outlook on life, which means I tend to be a negative person. Furthermore, I was teased in school growing up, have a hard time believing that anyone is fundamentally nice rather than fundamentally mean. Does anyone have any actual suggestions to keeping a positive outlook and how to repair that damaged psyche? I hear ‘keep your chin up" and, yada yada. But does anyone have a real answer as to what specifically has helped to change your thinking/attitude towards something?
