If you’re surrounded by
The type of person you hate
You eventually become like them
And the true you ceases to exist

I think maybe if you watch videos of people you find interesting or that you like, or even just movies with characters you like, you can trick your brain a bit to feel like you are around those people, and it can brighten your mood a bit. I liked watching stand up comedy and self help videos with motivated and positive people, I started to become a bit more like those people in their mindset. Nowadays, sometimes I’m an empty shell of who I used to be, or it feels a bit like that at times.

I think this is true to the Police Profession. You deal with scoundrels all day long on the job…and then start to believe that everyone in your life has an agenda. My daughter’s friend’s father is a Cop. He says if he had the choice again he never would have chosen that line of work.
