17-year-old girl, feeling unable to accept negative news from the outside world, what should she do?

Awareness of the world can give rise to concerns.

In point of fact, societal change is occurring, albeit at a gradual pace. The negative news items that are currently pervasive in online discourse were also present in the past, but they did not disseminate as rapidly or extensively at that time.

During my tenure in high school, I also exhibited a proclivity for cynicism regarding the prevalence of negative news. However, during my junior and senior years, I also exhibited a desire to disengage from this phenomenon.

I am striving to maintain a balance between awareness and avoidance, with the aspiration of fostering a just resolution. Those who have suffered harm will be provided with solace.

I have provided a detailed account of my physical and mental development in the hope that it will serve as a useful reference for others.

The development of individuals is not uniform, and there are variations. It is important to recognize that being different from others, even from the mainstream, is acceptable, and that one does not have to experience distress or negative emotions as a result.

Specific Solutions:

Firstly, it is recommended that one watches less, which is a radical solution.

The subsequent step is to implement a change of mindset, gradually becoming more resilient. One can address the issue directly through the process itself.

As a final step, it is recommended to discuss the matter with family and friends. Should the discussion result in discomfort, for instance, if the other person displays a contrasting attitude, it is advisable to refrain from further dialogue.

In the absence of a suitable confidant or a willingness to engage in conversation, it may be beneficial to consider the use of a diary as a means of self-expression.

The majority of high school girls possess emotionally perceptive minds, and thus require an appropriate outlet through which to facilitate their physical and mental growth.

It is my sincere hope that this will prove to be of assistance.

I recently observed that when you were surrounded by individuals espousing the view that one must accept negative circumstances to expand one's perspective, you exhibited a strong negative emotional response. I am curious as to who may have conveyed such irresponsible advice to you. However, upon reflection, I believe that your classmates were attempting to convey that we can learn ways to protect ourselves from negative news.

For example, the news frequently reports that girls who return home late have encountered difficulties. Therefore, if we were girls, we could consider ways to enhance our personal safety if we had to venture out at night.

As an example, consider reducing the number of nights you spend out. If you do need to go out at night, you may wish to arrange for a parent or other responsible adult to collect you.

Another option is to return home with friends.

It is clear that negative experiences can teach us valuable lessons. However, is it necessary to learn from negative situations? When we were children, our parents repeatedly advised us to be cautious when venturing outside.

As children, we were taught to look at traffic lights when crossing the street. Similarly, we should avoid crowded places.

Police officers frequently provide guidance and education on anti-fraud measures, and we can learn from them too.

It is evident that there are alternative methods of learning that do not rely on negative news to protect ourselves and grow better. We can also learn from our daily lives, for example.

Given the numerous ways we can protect ourselves and enhance our personal growth in our daily lives, it is certainly an option to disregard negative energy.

Furthermore, I can see that you have already encountered a considerable amount of negative energy and are experiencing fatigue as a result. In light of this, I suggest that you take the initiative to reject negative energy, seek out positive energy, associate with individuals who exude positive energy, and engage in discussions about positive topics. This approach will contribute to a more positive and comfortable lifestyle. I encourage you to consider this option.

You want to distance yourself from negative news and energy, but you're conflicted. People around you are persuading you to accept it. You have your own thoughts, but they're overwhelming and conflicting. Do you listen to yourself or others?

1. How has this negative news or energy affected you?

Life? Learning?

Interpersonal relationships and emotions?

Is the impact good or bad?

Why is it just okay?

Do you like negative news and energy? If not, why do you care what others say?

2. Do you care what others say? Does this make you like or dislike yourself?

What kind of person do you want to be? How do you become yourself?

What do you want to do next? 3: How do you usually respond to different "voices"?

What was hard about coping, and what was hardest?

Were you curious about any of the above points? If so, try answering them.

Dear Student, Based on your description, you are currently in your second year of high school. This is a pivotal period in your academic journey, during which you will undoubtedly face significant challenges and pressure.

In situations of high pressure and limited personal resources, it is common for individuals to reduce their level of judgment, which is typically characterized by sensitivity and susceptibility to external influences.

In such a scenario, the following course of action may be recommended:

1. Prioritize and organize your current tasks. Given the intrinsic value and compelling nature of the learning task, it is likely to occupy a significant portion of your personal time and energy.

In light of the aforementioned considerations, it is possible to engage with the external world in an appropriate manner and to establish social connections.

2. Confront the pressure directly. It can be alleviated if one focuses on the primary task at hand and immerses oneself in it.

3. Formulate your own firmly held beliefs. People require positive encouragement and positive beliefs.

One can posit that the majority of individuals espouse a rejection of negativity. In the event that others utilize negative news or information once more, one may respond with one's own firmly held beliefs and a positive attitude.

For example, while negative information is frequently disseminated in society, it is largely confined to niche situations or extremely specific cases. Conversely, positive and ordinary occurrences are rarely reported due to a lack of interest from the media.

It is recommended that, where possible, one should avoid negative environments.

In fact, there are numerous methodologies, and the one that is most suitable for a given individual is the optimal choice.

I wish you the best of success!

Hello, my dear friend. I'm truly sorry to see that you're facing such a challenge at such a young age. But I'm also really happy that you've found a way to get the help you need.

First of all, if you can't accept negative news from the outside world, don't worry! It's totally okay to not want to accept it. Learn to accept yourself. If you really can't accept it, just say so boldly, or stay away from these negative emotions.

It's not always the best idea to charge ahead full steam ahead. Learning to backtrack and give yourself enough buffer space is also a good thing. No matter what others say, it's most important to follow your heart and go in the direction you believe is right.

You are an independent individual, and you have your own wonderful ideas and opinions.

Secondly, take a moment to think about why you might be having trouble accepting these negative messages from the outside world. Are you worried that you'll be influenced by them? Or are you concerned that they'll overwhelm you?

It's so important to understand why you're afraid so you can face the problem head-on.

I really hope you can make yourself a little stronger, sweetheart. You can happily accept positive news, and you can also calmly face negative news and quickly adjust your state to avoid being affected.

As you grow older and gain more experience, your inner strength will gradually grow. It's totally normal to feel confused now, especially at 17! There's no need to carry a heavy psychological burden. Have faith in your inner strength. It will grow stronger and stronger, and you'll be able to handle whatever life throws at you.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's totally normal! It's okay to take a break and communicate more with your parents and elders. They're there to support you, so don't worry about them laughing at you. They genuinely want you to grow up healthy and happy, and their life experience might just help you find your way when you're feeling lost. Even if they don't, it's still a great idea to talk to them about your struggles. They're always there for you!

So, the best mentors on our path to growth are accepting yourself as you are, becoming strong within yourself, and daring to ask for help.

Perhaps a discussion of the current situation would be a useful precursor to a discussion of how to face negative news and information.

You indicated that following your first year of high school, you began to exhibit sensitivity and a tendency to avoid exposure to negative stimuli. The precipitating factors that led to this shift in your emotional state following your first year of high school are unclear.

Although the specific nature of the negative news in question was not elucidated, it appears that these occurrences engender feelings of powerlessness, prompting a longing for the fortitude to flourish in a more constructive manner. The negative perception of powerlessness is a source of unease.

You are experiencing discomfort, struggling to cope with the overwhelming sense of powerlessness triggered by these negative messages. Despite your best efforts, you are still struggling to maintain control.

Some posit that one should accept reality and the negative aspects thereof, as though they were evaluating that not accepting these things is wrong and unrealistic. However, it can be argued that there are times when one must follow their inner feelings. When one is unwilling to confront negative aspects of reality, it may be beneficial to develop a strategy for maintaining a sense of comfort and presence in the present moment, regardless of the circumstances.

Given the often harsh reality of life, it is understandable to seek a sense of tranquility and respite. This does not imply avoidance of reality but rather the conservation of energy for when one is compelled to confront it.

It is possible that, upon reflection, you may already have reached a conclusion. Ultimately, you are at liberty to make your own decision.

Hello, child! I feel somewhat burdened by the many negative social news stories I receive online. I'm afraid of being accused of being unsympathetic, but I'm trying to find a way to respond to these stories in a way that is constructive and positive. People around me also give me advice like accepting negative things can broaden your horizons, but I'm not sure that's the case. It just makes you feel angry and doesn't give you the motivation to strive.

Your doubts and feelings are important and deserve to be seen and acknowledged. I believe that it is commendable that you have not allowed yourself to be overwhelmed by negative influences. You still have a strong desire for positive energy and things that give you strength. Paying attention to positive encouragement is more conducive to a person than a negative and hostile state. This is a rare but valuable quality that is essential for healthy psychological development during adolescence.

Asking such questions demonstrates your willingness to resist the negative influence. I commend you for that.

Secondly, it is understandable that you may find it challenging to empathize with these negative situations, particularly if you are worried about being perceived as unsympathetic. It is a common psychological phenomenon during adolescence to crave acceptance and recognition from one's social circle.

If you feel that you are being criticized or even excluded because you feel differently from others and give different feedback, you may feel a lot of pressure. I'm sending you lots of hugs!

I also want to tell you that you are very perceptive! Your feelings are very important, and it's clear that your concerns are different from those of many people, which is a great strength.

The next step is to work on developing your ability to "seek common ground while reserving differences." It's important to accept your own differences from others and others' differences from you, even if you don't agree on everything.

With regard to the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" that someone may encourage you to accept, such as "accepting the negative can broaden your horizons," it could be said that their objective is to facilitate your acceptance of the initial intention of negative news in society, which is beneficial. However, this requires a certain level of understanding before it can be fully embraced.

It is important to recognize that pain, sadness, harm, suffering, and other negative experiences are not necessarily something to be grateful for. Our response to these situations, whether we accept them or make changes to create a positive influence, can have a significant impact on our lives. By embracing a more positive outlook, we can enhance our perception and gain valuable insights.

If you don't use your positive energy, your insight may not grow as much as it could. It's also important to remain aware of and pay attention to positive things, as this can help you build awareness.

May you always be mindful of the positive energy around you.

If I might make one more suggestion, I believe that improving yourself is the most powerful way to fight negative energy. Perhaps your main focus now should be on spending more time learning, improving your learning ability, and laying a good foundation for continuously correcting your cognitive thinking perspective in the future.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to view yourself as a ray of light. It is not only acceptable to accept negative things, but it is also possible to contribute positive power with your own strength.

I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.

Hello, question owner! Let me give you a warm hug first.

I see your question, and I can tell you're feeling confused right now. It's totally normal! I can also see that you're aware of yourself, which is a great start. I've included some helpful tips below that I think you'll find useful.

1. It's totally normal to feel sensitive after entering high school and to be conflicted by those negative things. In fact, deep down, the questioner has his own judgment. It's okay to learn to slowly accept the facts themselves and just follow your heart.

2. Another thing that makes the original poster a little nervous is whether we should follow the crowd or not. If we don't, everyone will do the same thing, and we are afraid of what other people will say about us. For example, as the original poster said, will everyone think that we are "unsympathetic?" Or will we be isolated? If we follow the crowd, we will be, but these are not what we want, and we will struggle and feel bad inside.

3. At the end of the day, we just need to be true to ourselves. We can't please everyone, but we can try to please ourselves first. When we have energy, we're at our best, and we're able to love others. We all have different life experiences and look at things from different directions. There's no need to ask others to be like us, and there's no need to ask ourselves to be like others.

The questioner really gets what everyone means by "broadening their horizons."

4. We can't demand or change others, but we can influence others through our own actions. This should be the most important thing for us to do right now.

It's also important to be clear about what's most important right now, like the college entrance exam. Then, break down your goal into smaller steps to achieve it. Don't let anything distract you from your goal. When your goal is clear and definite, you'll be able to focus on it. This process can also feel lonely at times, and you might have to walk a part of the road alone. But I truly believe that everyone will understand this eventually.

Those who share your frequency will stick by your side, no matter what. And those who don't? Well, they're not for everyone. It's okay to let go of people who don't share your views. Learn to separate issues. What they think is their business, and what we think is our own business.

5. It's also a great idea for the original poster to nurture some of their own interests and hobbies. This can help them build a lovely circle of positive energy and keep negative emotions at bay. When we come across some negative information, it's good to try to see things more objectively. We can't avoid negative emotions, but we can choose to face them and accept them in a positive way. When you have time, it's also a great idea to exercise more. This can help us to relieve some negative emotions.

Another great way to stay on track is to write in a success diary.

I really hope the above gives you a little bit of inspiration and helps you out. I'm really looking forward to meeting a better you, and I know the world loves you with us!
