It would be best to hang out and have conversations with loving, supportive, caring, and uplifting people. This is because they are interested in your betterment and will put you on track to improving yourself.
You need to evaluate how you feel after spending time with someone, and if anyone makes you feel bad, avoid them, and spend less time with them. And it would help if you replaced those friendships with better ones. It is critical to know which companies increase your happiness and great feelings about yourself to nurture those relationships.
Do Not Compare Yourself with Others
Comparison is a joy killer, and when you compare yourself with others, you are harming yourself and chasing away your happiness. The secret that happy people have that keep them so is knowing they are no less or no better than other people. There will always be people who seem better than you and others worse than you, but you have no business dwelling on either. You only need to strive to do your best and be the best version of yourself. And with that, you will be happy to see the progress you have made.
