What do anchors mean?
"We all carry these things that no one else can see, they hold us down like anchors" But I refuse to sink.
I was told that an anchor meant that you will not let negativity or anybody tell you wrong. But why does it represent this if you refuse to sink?

The anchor represents the things that can weigh you down. The negativity. The whole quote says you refuse to let the anchor weigh you down.
Anchor
"a heavy object attached to a rope or chain and used to moor a vessel to the sea bottom, typically one having a metal shank with a ring at one end for the rope and a pair of curved and/or barbed flukes at the other."
In this metaphor, the author is the ship.
In old myths, the anchor use to mean 'Hope'
Try this quote:
"It's not what you are that holds you back,
it's what you think you are not."
