I started a thread called "Thank you YT" which was an opportunity to thank a yorkie talk member for something positive they did for you and NO ONE posted on it! It really bummed me out and completely proves your part 100%! people love drama and negativity way more than trying to be positive and encouraging one another! The bottom line is we can't change anyone else! All we can do is commit to being positive ourselves and making a difference in our world and being positive ourselves! It's pointless to lecture although sometimes it's good to once in awhile point things out like you have done in this thread! But what speaks the loudest to the people around us is to practice what we preach in a BIG way! Posting on anything positive, welcoming new members, sending them friend requests, encouraging someone going through a rough time, saying thank you out of the blue and not being part of uneccessary drama!! There are rimes when it is necessary to speak up but it should be the minority in a track record on YT that is mostly positive! I've started a "positive quote of the day" on my own page! Good reminder for myself first and might uplift someone who visits my page! If we concentrate on ourselves positivity is inevitably contagious! I feel like we've heard your heart in this thread and I appreciate you for doing something as unpopular as pointing it out! Don't let the negative people win! Stay and fight to be positive and commit to something new today! Have a great day! Mary |
