Update - need advice!

1 Reply

So it's been 2 weeks since I posted on here, thought I'd give a little update. I got a new job, feeling generally really positive and things are starting to look up! Thing is, I'm trying to make sure I keep positive thoughts and energies around me but I'm realising my family are actually bringing me down more at times, like I'm much happier when I'm alone or with friends. Specifically my sister! She's a very very negative, easily angered person and her mood swings impact me greatly. She also refuses to open up when it comes to certain topics of conversation. Is there a way I can get her to open up and become a more positive person?! I'm treading on eggshells around her constantly, no idea how to approach her without her feeling attacked!

Id give her some space if i was you, If she doesn't want to talk about stuff then that's up to her, you only risk aggravating her and if it affects you then ...

sometimes its best to focus on yourself and work on you. Congratulations on your new job and happy to hear your feeling more positive. long may it last
