Common conclusions
This means your social circle is having a negative influence on you. Take a deep breath and think about the different reasons for the same. Are they controlling you or making you feel uncomfortable in their presence? What is it that's making you feel trapped? When you find answers to these questions, you'll find ways to come out of this trap.
While it is ok to poke some fun at each other, it can't become a routine. You can't be the butt of all jokes and pretend that you enjoy them. If you think the people around you are putting you down often and if you don't feel comfortable about it, talk to them and let them know your feelings. If it persists, it's time to walk away.
A good circle that impacts you positively will tend to push you towards success. If this is not happening and if your friends are making you feel down and depressed, there's no doubt that they're having a negative impact on you and it is time you accept it and move on.
Most successful people have opined that their closest social circle consisted of diverse people who could provide fresh and new perspectives on any issue, thereby helping to expand your horizon and thought process. Such a sup[port group will go a long way in helping you to succeed in life and above everything, remain happy. See if you can bring in more diversity in terms of age, profession, and possibly even culture into your social circle.
A group of highly motivated and confident people will inspire you to gain self-confidence and succeed in life. They will be high achievers who will drag you up even if you're less talented or motivated than them. Make sure you have at least a handful of people who fall into this category.
Much of the problem could lie in your social circle. When you're going through a rough patch, you'd expect your closest social circle to stand with you, and support you in every possible way. Consider reaching out and see how they react. If the response doesn't improve much, it means something is not right, and it is best you stay away from such a group.
Excellent! At the same time, make sure your social circle is happy too, so you can gain more positivity and happiness from the entire group. This will even make you look forward to seeing them often and interacting with them to boost your mood and happiness.
