How I Survived My Friend’s Negativity Spiral
Ever had that one friend who could find a raincloud in a rainbow? That’s my buddy Sam. I love the guy, but hanging out with him sometimes feels like signing up for a masterclass in pessimism. At first, I tried to fix him—big mistake. Turns out, telling someone to "cheer up" is about as effective as yelling at your coffee to cool down faster. So, I learned to keep my own mood in check, cracked a few jokes when things got heavy, and set some gentle boundaries. Sometimes, I’d just need a break—self-care isn’t selfish, right? Through it all, I realized I can’t fix Sam, but I can be there for him without losing myself in the process. If you’ve got a Sam in your life, trust me, you’re not alone. 😅💬
