Our thoughts affect our mood which affects our behaviour which affects our thought which affects our mood which affects out behaviour and on and on

What we need to do is break the cycle of negative thought, for some people this is as easy as telling themselves to 'cope on' 'snap out of it' etc. or getting out and going for a walk.
For others it is much harder, perhaps because of depression or learned negative thoughts because of abusive relationships, for these people the negative thoughts are predominant and it takes time to recognise what is actually behind these and to learn to break the pattern.

For some people the negative is their comfort zone, they may be miserable but they know how that feels and accept it.

anything outside that may be to scary.

for sure and understandably so too when life has dealt you a few bummers in succession - it can take a monumental effort to even know what 'normal' means
