It’s not selfish or a sign of weakness to distance yourself or walk away from those who constantly bring down your vibe.
Life is about balance. It’s about spreading kindness, but it’s also about not letting anyone take that kindness away from you.

We assume success is about being famous, rich
and owning expensive things. But if you’ve pulled
yourself out of a dark place, that’s a great success in
itself. Don’t forget that you’re winning each day you
don’t give up and you make it through to the next.

In psychology, the concept of ‘social proof’ suggests that people like to follow the crowd. If everyone else is doing it, you assume it’s the right thing to do. Other people influence your actions more than you realize. For example, if you had to pick between two new bars and you could see that one was packed while the other isn’t, you’d assume that the empty one sucked and the popular one was much better! But just because everyone else is doing it does not mean it’s right. Slavery used to be legal, but now nearly everyone would agree that it’s inhumane, degrading and immoral.
