Nick Hutchison asks how to handle constantly negative people in your life. The answer: set clear expectations about your goals and boundaries. Transparent communication protects your well-being while keeping the relationship intact, even if that means loving from a distance.

If somebody listening today has a friend group or circle or family member, or even maybe a spouse who's not positive all the time and maybe bringing you down, like, what are your recommendations there?
Yeah, I think our lives would be so much easier if we were just clear, if we were consistent, if we were honest in our communications, you know, so setting proper expectations with those people, you know, you can love those people from a distance. But I think as long as you set clear and honest expectations of what your goals are and where you want to go, I believe they'll appreciate it, you know, and respect it.
