The only thing that helps me is thinking about objectively, there are much more positive and neutral interactions than there are awkward/negative ones.
And the only reason I tend to focus on the negative ones is because that’s what humans do, avoiding a negative is always “better” than getting something positive, in a survival kind of sense.
And so I force myself to remember the good interactions again and again, and well, eventually it’s become more of a habit than remembering the negative ones.
