Even if you feel like someone is going to change, is it really worth waiting around for months or even years for this change to happen?

It is your life and you deserve to have friends and partner who will support you. Getting rid of negative people in your life can be a freeing experience.

If you are spending all of your energy trying to change negative people in your life, you are going to be disappointed quickly.

Instead, you should be working on yourself. There are positive people out there who can be great friends and strong partners. You don't need to try to change a negative person when there are so many other good options.

When you are looking for a partner, look for someone who is going to try to make you smile everyday. Surround yourself with people who take a genuine interest in what makes you happy and what you are passionate about. It feels so much better to be around people who want to make you smile rather than people who do not seem to care about your happiness or wellbeing.

Real friends will do whatever they can to make you happy. If you are in a bind, they will be there to help you. People who aren't truly your friends will be nowhere to be seen when you are in trouble. Your friends who actually treat you so well that you will forget what it was like to have crappy people around you.
