Have you ever been excluded by peers in after work activities or just been excluded by people in times making you feel isolated? How did you deal with those emotions? (lemmy.ml)

Yes, been excluded many times. The older I get the less I care to talk about what other people normally take about (work dramas, negative issues in their life, how their partner is trash, how it’s good America is “intervening” in other countries, etc). I used to just nod my head and smile and make a joke or 2. Now I actually speak my mind, and I tell my coworkers how negative they are, and they try to get me to talk negatively about my life and my partner and it never happens. That makes them mad for whatever reason, and now I’m not invited.

More room for positivity in my life!
