Couldn't Think of A Name to Save my Life

Well, God has been moving in my life for me to change my words to being more positive. For the longest time I thought that it was an attitude problem, but I finally realized (through God working and me failing) that I don’t have an attitude problem (or at least that’s not the highest priority on my “to do list”) 

Instead, what’s going on is that right now in society, especially on facebook, the funniest things that people say either make themselves out to be idiots, or have some serious anger/ frustration.
It’s hard to explain but you probably know what I’m talking about anyways.
So how this affects me is that I’m such a crowd pleaser and I’m constantly trying to come up with the next funny thing to share, and I’m a trend follower (I feel like I’m at an AA meeting; “Hi. My name is Robyn and I’m an addict.”)
Even though I don’t feel extremely upset, if something annoys me in the slightest, I “make it funnier” by talking about how awful it is.

Two things that I’ve had to learn since I got facebook:
1.)     You don’t have to broadcast your failures. When I do something stupid and am thankful that no one was there to see it, why would I post it for all of my friends to read? I’m not an idiot, so why make myself out to be one?
2.)     You don’t have to be angry all of the time. I actually have struggled with anger management before, so whenever I do this I’m putting myself in a position where when I actually do need help, no one will take me seriously or think that’s out of the ordinary.
