how do u deal with sadness

@tallLemon7829 Hello, I have gone through something similar as well. A few years ago, I became friends with people who did not appreciate me and were constantly undermining me. At first, I didn't think much of it because I thought of myself lucky for at least having friends. Sometime later, as the negative comments from my friends were building up, my self-esteem started dropping and I thought very lowly of myself and didn't think I was worthy of nice things. That is when I realized that I wanted to change how I perceived myself and that meant treating myself with more love and respect, things contrary to how my old friends made me feel. I started focusing on making new friends and trying new things. I watched a lot of cheerful series and movies on Netflix to try and lift my spirits. I filled myself with a positive attitude and told myself "inspirational" things, even though if sometimes I did not believe them. This became a habit until I became stable emotionally and no longer thought so negatively of myself. To this day, I consider myself happy and have found new friends who value my opinion and support me. So, my advice to you is to try and find something that makes you happy and someone who you can be yourself with. If there is no one you can trust with your feelings, trust that the right person will come eventually, even if you feel that you have been waiting forever. Never lose hope. ❤️
