This is a trait I believe I picked up from my family. I think I carry around a certain amount of negativity within me, which makes me very uncharismatic and generally someone that people don't want to be around. I can often mentally linger on negative ideas, which I end up expressing out loud in a way that ruins people's moods. I also complain and whine about my own issues to folks who are tired of hearing about them. Instead, I want to be able to maintain positive energy within myself, and also be a source of energy for others instead of draining them.

Study Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, and stoicism in general. It should help.
Tao Te Ching for centering, balance, inspiration, and the sense of flow.
