Friendships Between Women- The Value of Having Girlfriends
Friendships are relationships between people who share similar interests and values and give each other unconditional acceptance and loyalty usually associated with family, but also expected from our friends. The driving need women have to support and care for each other in female friendships is part of our DNA and will never go away. Women, as a whole, are more social, community focused, collaborative, and less competitive amongst each other because we know how much we need our girlfriends. Studies show that married men live longer than single men. The same is not true for women. Women, married or not, who have built strong female social ties live longer than those who haven't.

How Can I Deal With Negative Judgmental People
There's no way around it. Since you have made the life decision not to live in the Rocky Mountains, isolated from everyone, as a hermit, you have to come in contact with other people every day. Most of the aliens you bump into don't have the same even temperament and optimistic outlook on life that you do. They seem to view the world with some alternative reason that is detrimental to the stability of the universe. Not everyone is this way, but some toxic people just give off a definitive black aura. How can you, a normal upbeat life-affirming Homo sapiens sapiens (our actual Latin classification), live in a world rife with negative judgemental people? Listen to what the person has to say. Do they end even optimistic statements with some sort of cynicism? Are they always seeing the bad traits of an individual, and are free with there opinions about it? Learn to look past your own trusting nature and recognize a toxic person for what they are.
