How do I fix my personality?

Okay, you're right. My personality sucks. I take everything negatively. I've had multiple people close to me tell me that they "just can't win with me". How do I stop seeing the bad in everything people say?

If you're past 20, it is highly unlikely that you're going to change.

We're going to have to discuss this over the phone in order for me to give you an effective solution.

Get help from people close to you like the ones brave enough to tell you stuff like "just can't win with me"
No offence to the people on basil but if you are serious about fixing your personality then this is definitely not the place to start, just look at these replies.
Anyway from my outside perspective and barely knowing you I'd say you are dependent on your boyfriend a lot to make you happy which is not a good thing because you should be independent and happy with yourself before you search for happiness with another person. How you're going to be happy with yourself isn't for me to say because again I don't know you but that's exactly why you should be looking for help from the people you deal with on a day to day basis.

i sort of do the same thing with not being able to take a compliment, and the no winning thing. i still dont know how to take complements but no when that situation rises i turn it into a joke. some people dont like it though because they see it as im hurting my own feelings.

Omg just imagine all of them attacking you with all their fluffyness and stubbyness and stumpyness. It's. UN.BEAR.ABLE.
*ahem* YOU GET A CORGI. AND YOU GET A CORGI. EVERYONE GETS A CORGI.

There's this saying: we judge our actions by our circumstances, but we judge other people's actions by their personality. Like, if I do something mean, I say to myself "wow I'm having a bad day." But if I see someone else do something mean, I think "wow that person's a total jerk."

Try thinking about the things other people do as a result of circumstances rather than personality. If someone is mean to you, maybe they're having a bad day.

Just work really hard to change things in your life, it doesnt happen overnight. Im in the same boat too actually but trying is the first step...

It's kinda like exercise, you wont be in shape if you dont get up and try, and it certainly wont happen overnight.
