Who you surround yourself with always says a lot about you. What your tolerance level is, who you connect to, who you find worth your time. Within every pair of friends, there's gossip. Gossip is a word that is often used in a negative way. But gossip is simply chit chat about someone else's personal life, even though it is typically negative, there are moments that I find myself boasting about someone else's life as if it were my own. I could easily list five people right now that I'm constantly fan-girling over, in the most proud, girl crush kind of way. They're inspiring and motivating - that's my favorite type of gossip.
If you don't like how your friend is arrogant, why are you her friend? Don't justify peoples' negative vibe as a flaw. Being nice is a choice, being positive is a lifestyle, being humble is a mind set and they aren't hard things to do. So if you are close with someone that never compliments someone else and always fails to say thank you to the waitress, just remember that her personality will ware off on you. Your friends personalities ware on your personality, remember that.
Next time you're with one (or more) of your friends, observe what your conversation is really about. Is it mostly positive? Uplifting? Does it make you feel good about yourself in any way? If you answered no, maybe you should try to mix up your friend group. It's a lot of work having to keep up with your miserable friends. If they're not happy that you're not miserable about the same things as them, it's time to find a different, less exhausting group of friends. Like my mom always said (when I was caught frowning) it takes more muscles to frown than to smile. And working out your jaw comes hand in hand with frown lines. And I highly doubt anyone wants to be an unhappy looking old lady at age 35.
