Stay away from people who are always negative. They are like cancer and spread into your life and then bring your life down cause their life sucks so they bitch and moan.

Only surround yourself with successful people, who have same goals as you or who are better than you so you can learn from them and they can guide you and support you throughout your journey.

If you have friends that are overly negativity. I would stop hanging out with them or find a nice way to cut ties. Trust me, it will help you in the long run. At the end of the day its about you and your life and not worrying about satisfying someone else.

You're partially right, but the "only surround yourself with successful people" is total bullshit and is how people become out-of-touch with real issues.

Not necessarily. It's a good thing to watch for at least, maybe not all or nothing. Unsuccessful people usually tend to be negative and critical of themselves and others, and aren't happy when other people are successful. The crab in a bucket mentality is very real out there. So is the statement "most people want to see you doing well, but not better than them". People who are happy and successful don't get nearly as jealous or resentful as people who do nothing.

Every time I was involved in with a crowd (or in a steady environment like work), it was the inadequate and unsuccessful people who tore other people down to lift themselves up, while lying about their achievements and greatness, and competing against everyone who was actually doing well. They were a drain.

It also depends on what kind of success. They don't have to be super rich or anything like that.

Care to elaborate? If your going to tell me whether I am right or not, then you need to fully explain yourself on why people get out of touch with real issues?

Sure, that doesn't mean your instantly going to be successful. I am just giving a general rule of thumb.

I have some friends who are very nice but they can can ne negative here and there about their struggles and wanting to succeed, but I am always there to support them and push them forward.

They never really bring me down, because they are not negative 24/7 they are only negativity when something is not working out for them or if they are looking for help or a reality check. I am also very good at not letting mother people influence me overly negatively.

They come to me for the reality check and I tell them how it is and what they need to do if they want succed and why is it that what they are doing is not working for them.
