Stewing in feelings lately :/

Post Reply New Topic

Recently, I've been stewing in these negative feelings towards my family. I constantly mutter "I hate him," when I see my brother, and constantly call my mom a b*tch under my breath. I wish I would feel more positive feelings towards them, and the only time I do feel positive feelings towards them is when they do stuff for me, which isn't right--and anyway, it doesn't last very long before I fall back into the negative thoughts towards them. I feel no ill-will towards them, but I somehow find myself mired in negative feelings towards them. Any suggestions?

idk, why do you feel negative feelings toward them in the first place?
to even begin to answer your question we'd need some background info. ya know?
there's no one cure-all thing you can do. so we need to find something specific.

of course, having something superr positive happen to you like an incredible stroke of blind luck, might change your outlook toward them.
but that's only because it would make you feel good about everything anyway if something good happening put you on a temporary streak of powerful optimism.
so it's only a temporary fix. but if you want something more lasting to happen to affect your relationship with them then you're eventually gonna have to come out of your corner and talk to them about the issues you're having with them. it's difficultttt, but once you get it out it's so relieving and you'll feel better, honestly. both towards yourself and them. try it out.
