Either you hang out with the wrong people, or you act in some way which leads them to being annoying to you. Life can be very positive if you make it, and friends can multiply that positivity 10 times, good luck

And for gods sake the other way around. Some people will suck all your goodwill/love out of you, and in some instances try to lock you from showing it to other people around you, only to get all of it themselves

When i come downstairs, my kids will ask if i want coffee. They know i love coffee, my 5yo can make it even exactly how i like it. My husband has made breakfast and a to go lunch, and takes care of the kids going to school. I just listen to a few stories about dreams, drawings and what they are going to do in school the coming day. Then i go to work.

When i get home, the kids know to let me go out of the hallway (to take off my jacket and shoes) before they can hug and jump on me and tell stuff they are excited about. My eldest will ask what i want to drink (wine, water, soda) and dinner is ready on the table. My husband gets a hugg and kiss and i ask him how he is doing. I ask the kids during dinner, turn based, how their day was. My eldest has ADHD so this way everyone can tell.

Then i go do a few chores my disabled husband cannot do, like laundry. He gets the kids ready for bed. I tell them a story. And then downtime.

It's a day of being cared for and caring for.

it's called gratitude

”Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness is from the Latin word gratus, which means "pleasing" or "thankful." Is regarded as a feeling of appreciation by a recipient of another's kindness"

Be pathetically grateful for the bare minimum anyone offers you. Feel guilty about not previously appropriately grateful.

OP clearly hasn't been in any abusive relationships. This is the absolute worst advice you could give someone in that case.

I have found that it is easier and safer to just avoid people, as none of them have ever rewarded me with anything.

To the contrary, I have in-fact received more than my fair share of abuse, neglect, and absolute fuckery any time I have ever been around people.

No thanks!
