Your Annoying Friends

Found on @wittyidiot on Instagram

   People like this bother me so much. If you're going to complain to me about your friends, I have just one question for you: why are you friends with them to begin with? You are an adult, which means you make your own decisions. You're surrounded by negative people? Cut them out. You're surrounded by people who make you feel bad about yourself? Cut. You don't identify with your friendgroup? Get some new friends who understand you and who you can be yourself with.
   Dear people, it's really not that hard. If you don't like the people around you, you get new people. Nobody's forcing you to be around people who you don't like, who don't add anything but bad things to your life. You choose this people, either because you feel like you have to (spoiler alert, you don't have to) either due to ties or to history together, or because you're too lazy to find new people. And also, guess what: if your family makes you feel bad, you don't have to be around them. Blood is thicker than water, but the blood between you two can be thinner, because you can put it on a diet and avoid them.
   And if you're too lazy to find yourself some positive, happy people who actually bring something to yourself and you bring something to theirs, you've just lost your right to complain about it.
   You cannot complain about something if you're not making an active effort to change it, that's it. Either you start trying to change it, or you just keep quiet about it, because if you're causing your own problems, nobody really cares about your complaining. It's like putting a stone on your foot, and then complaining about the pain.
