All the same is true for communicating with the closest, but negative-minded people, but here everything is much more difficult and serious. If you spend most of your time surrounded or even live with people who do not support you, constantly criticize you, constantly give uninvited advice, put pressure on you and force you to do what they think is right.
Or, even worse, if they offend or commit violence against you, you simply have to distance yourself from them by any means and stop all attempts to force these people to change. And believe me, this is really a matter of life or death, your life or death, perhaps not literally, but it is a very, very important and necessary step.

Take at least something, at least some first step towards freedom from toxic relationships, and very soon you will discover new real opportunities for this, I promise you. The whole point is that when you switch your attention from chewing on the problem, complaining and blaming, which is essentially a search for reasons to do nothing, to looking for opportunities, these very opportunities will appear as if out of nowhere, just as excuses appeared before.
