“Positivity always pays off: You can start by not putting other people down. Gossip and saying negative things about other people is a result of your self loathing projecting outward. Don’t feed into it!
Similarly, if people are saying nasty, hurtful things about you, don’t allow your ego to co-opt the situation by taking what they’re saying to heart. Know that what they’re saying has nothing to do with you. Again, it’s them projecting their own self loathing and fear. Say this out loud: What other people think of me is none of my business. “
