I've been trying to be more positive lately and see the bright side of things or good in people. I used to always be negative and pessimistic about everything (runs in my family). It's hard to do but overall I feel a lot better.

|
absolutely.
just dont let yourself be used by those that seek out positives to make a negative. |
|
Yes.
For me it’s the best way to live. My son will actually see me smiling sometimes for no reason and think I am crazy. Stay positive and good things will happen. Be negative and bad things will happen. It’s all about the energy. |
|
I’m negative and pessimistic but have learned to let things go and have learned that things all work out in the end.

Fuck no.
Pessimist is so far from describing by view of the world and humanity it's not even an understatement, it's just wrong. |
|
I’m only positive when I have my daughter, when I’m fishing or during hunting season. Fuck every time else.

Yes.
I'm positive most of this world sucks hairy ass these days. |
|
I am because i have no choice. It brings down my family and people around me if im not positive.
|
|
I’m generally positive.
There’s a silver lining in just about everything negative. I look for it. I also try to consider whether or not the negative situation is something I can control or not. If so, work to change it. If not, accept it and move on. |

I'm incredibly negative and I hate it View Quote Sometimes I hate it because I wish I could just "blue pill" myself and sink into glorious blissful ignorance. Other times I hate everyone else because they aren't negative, and they aren't because they don't see what I see. Or they don't care, whatever. Pisses me off regardless. |

I try to be despite things not exciting me much anymore. Having a baby girl has really shelled that demon.
My wife still thinks I’m an asshole despite everyone we meet loving me... who’s the real asshole? Crazy broad |
|
I'm pretty balanced. Happy, not happy, it varies...but I tend to have a decent reason for both.

Being negative about something beyond your control accomplishes nothing. You buy a quality tire from a reputable manufacturer, rotate them regularly, check the pressure, inspect for damage regularly, but you still get a blow out. You can either get pissed about it and have it ruin your week or you can put the spare on and get on with your life. |

I used to constantly stew over the state of the country, the world, or people. I'd say the same thing wishing I was ignorant. I'd spend so much time arguing with other people (i.e. liberals) thinking I could change them or make them see what I see. What a waste of time that was. Just have to move on and find good in things or focus on stuff that you enjoy. I pretty much stopped watching and reading the news, that was a major factor. |

I’m logical and realistic. So, no, I’m not a “positive” person. But most people find me to be very stable and level, especially during emergencies/crises, so they feel I’m a positive impact for them.

I get off on the thought of putting the desirable/powerful/etc. in the place of the loser, the one that struggles to gain an inch instead of having it served to them. |
