Isn't being positive important in life??? I mean, I have met so many people out there in the world that are negative and they negate every positive thing that you try to say. Why are people so megative sometimes???? Is there even an answer to either one of these questions???

I'm positive and most everyone I know is positive.

Who have you been hanging out with lately???

Isn't thinking that everyone's negative a negative thought in itself?

Think positive!

;o)

I don't know if thinking that everyone is negative is thinking negative itself. I try to think positive and speak positive, but I also try to speak the truth which sometimes sounds negative. It's an oxymoron. It's like simese twins, you can't have one without the other. I'm probably going to regret saying all this, but I'm going to risk it.

Sorry,

I'm feeling spunky tonight. Had you caught me last night I was depressed. I have bipolar disorder, or something like that. One day I'm high, the next day I'm not, and I don't even do drugs, except for the ones my doctor makes me take.

Also, I don't have a television. Maybe a lot of people are negative because they have televisions and watch the news too much?

Just a thought.

its not the television that does it, Abra, its the computer screens.......

Maybe you should try some self relaxation techniques and it'll help with that positive attitude. Lilly, don't you say nothing.....Lol

I do agree that there are negative people in this world. I feel sorry for them, and I never want to be with that type of person again. My dad was this way, and it led to a gulf between us that I could never bridge. Just being around him for a while was detrimental to me. I try to find the positive in most things, or at least the humor....

People who are so dang negative irritate the crap out of me. I don't mind when you have a few bad days. We all have them. Heck I have had my share of them this year believe me but I can't stand it when you talk with someone and no matter how cheery you are or have something positive to say and they bring you down by being negative.

I had a friend who was like that. She was soooo freaking depressing I just started to ignore her. I even told her to see her doctor because she was depressed but nope she wouldn't.

So I hear ya

Ok, what I typed in addtion to that didn't get on there... I think that why people get negative is because it has happened before,(the negative action) and sometimes people get caugt up or stuck on that and can't see past it. Thinking it'll happen again.

Life brings temporary setbacks to everyone, I try to keep my chin up and face the world with open arms. One thing that keeps my life positive is the fact that there are many people out there that are a lot worse off than I.

Being positive or negative is a choice. A choice we all make either at a conscience level or even worse unconsciously. It’s a choice that comes every minute of every day for our entire adult life. Ultimately the quality of our lives is based on this decision and you might as well be happy especially when you look at the alterative.
