Hi Dechan,

I prefer not to be around negative people. I do feel sorry for people who don't have lots of friends nearby. I spent a lot of time with a negative person, because I was the only friend nearby and she needed rides. However, I limited the amount of time I spent with her. Now she has moved away. I am too sensitive to other people's emotions, and I did not want to start feeling negative and complain all the time. I look for positive people in my life. Boundaries help prevent you from spending too much time with the wrong people.
