I used to be, the only positives to being negative, a pessimist, is that you tend to keep things real and you don't get blinded by stupid things or possibilities. There aren't many though, try changing.

Being an optimist is great.  The world is a much better place, you arent miserable because the world sucks AND people like to hang around you because you're not depressive...\n\nThe two cons i can think of is that you're a prime target for scams, and you get much more disappointed when something does go bad because you had higher hopes.

I hate it when people are negative all the time. It makes me wonder what they have missed in life because of that. If you constantly think something won't work or won't be fun, etc.. it only limits the opportunities in life. I say be happy, try stuff and if it ends up "sucking" then oh well, move on!\nWHY DO PEOPLE COME ON HERE AND WRITE A BOOK FOR THE ANSWER? JUST GET TO THE POINT. NO ONE WANTS TO READ A FRIGGIN ESSAY ON THE SUBJECT.

I always remind myself that I cannot change people, but I can change the way I react to them.\n\nLove and compassion and a good ear for listening.  People who are negative should be taken in small doses as they can really bring you down.\n\nLook for the good in people and you will surely find it.  Stay clear of any gossip.  Even listening to it is harmful.  Be willing to walk away and not participate.  Or inject something nice about the person people are gossiping about this will end the conversation.\n\npeace

Remember that the negative feelings one has are as natural as the need for air and water. You have to allow some negativity in your life in order to feel the positive. Well it makes sense to me!lol\n And good mornig to you!

To think that positive thinking will have a bad outcome, means you were never positive in the first place.  And sometimes denial isn't always negative.  Obstacles happen whether you are negative or positive.  The beauty of positive thinking is no matter what, if you deal positively, you will achieve positively.

Think positive thoughts that way your negativity will go away

Explore your negative thoughts.  They are there for a reason.  They are probably just a reflection of your fears and your programming all throughout your life.  The truth is, a lot of our thinking is irrational and untrue.  There is no point in entertaining the thoughts that are negative if they are irrational and untrue!  If you do, they will cause you unnessary pain, but most of us continue thinking them anyway, because we haven't really taken a good LOOK at them.  When you have a negative thought, write it down.  Ask yourself, Is this thought really true and valid?  And then, write down all the reasons it is irrational.  Writing it down solidifes it more in your brain.  This is all a matter of re-training your brain.  Once you've written all of this down, then, replace it with a similar, but more accurate and positive description of what's really going on.  EXAMPLE:  Neg. thought:  No one likes me at work.  Is this true?  Well, I have no way of knowing this for sure.  There is no evidence supporting this thought.  Infact, someone did smile at me the other day, and we had a nice chat.  THIS would be evidence to the contrary.  NEW pos. thought:  I will try to put more effort into developing positive friendships at work.  If you need to, you can make this new statement a daily affirmation for yourself, to further solidify this in your brain.\n\nKeep cleaning out your subconscious garbage can!  Its good for you...:)

I'll tell you what works for me. I don't allow the negativity of others to effect me. I either read a negative question and not respond or if I feel I need to say something, I will offer a loving answer. If someone is nasty while responding to one of my questions I just roll right past them and not even bother with it. There will always be people that think they know better or think their way is the one true way but you have to just make room for them and allow them to feel whatever way they want. As you would also like for people to respect and allow you your beliefs. As long as you know you are fine, that is all that matters. I can not express that enough to you. \nLove & Light\nOne Planet = One People

Absolutely can mental negativity make you sick.\nAnger can cause cancer. We are not only what we eat but also what we think. to think bad things about people is as bad for you as to say them out loud.\nThoughts are things.I believe you can stay well by thinking possitive, forgive and don't judge as you can get sick from being angry. Give it a try. Tell yourself I am too large for worry, too nobel for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble

Sorry to hear things are not working out for you. We all go through that. I think the difference is having the self esteem to pull yourself over the hump. Also realizing that worrying never solved anything. Think positively at all times and you will start attracting the stuff that keeps you going.\n\nIt sounds like a lot of crap, but try it. You will start shutting off all negative feelings/thinking. But you have to really believe it when you are thinking positively.

ok.. first of all, u are AWESOME. seriously, u should really be proud of urself for turning such horrible negativity into something Positive, and not letting it ruin ur life! :) and i bet u don't hate ur mother, u just feel sad when u think of why she treats u that way.. wow, good for you. it is SO HARD to think that way, so EASY to be angry and hurt and HATE people for that kind of stuff.\n\nmy advice to you is to continue what u are doing, but also add a bit to it:\n\nWork on your Confidence and how to meet people. this is so u can create a NEW life and family for yourself.. whether it be friends, or a boyfriend, eventually husband and kids, ok? :) In my opinion, confidence can be "worked on" in 3 steps:\n\nAppearance: exercise. work out. take care of ur Body. take care of ur skin.  get a new, flattering hair cut, makeup, and clothes. the better u Look, the better impression u make on others. also, exercising can get stress out, and give u endorphins (happy chemicals). and lastly, the better u look, the better u FEEL about yourself!\n\nMind:  study.  read more, learn more. keep an open mind.  develop interests and hobbies. take some classes. excel at your job.  remember, if u start joining classes and activities, more likely u can meet some friends who have Similar interests as you. also, u are being Productive and enhancing your strenghts and qualities. :)\n\nRelationships:  typically i say w/ Family and Friends.. but as u say, family is far away/mean, and friends u talk on the phone. that means NEW PEOPLE. u need to concentrate on peopel around you. try with coworkers or peers at school (or at the gym, or walking ur dog, etc).  remember, the better u Look and the more you Know, the less SHY or scared u will be when talking to someone!  also, try to get to know teachers, guidance counselors, etc.  the more people u can speak to with confidence, the better.  eventually u WILL make friends, and then meet their friends..and that is how u create a network of family/friends around you.\n\nAlso, remember to always seek Positive, Healthy and Happy people around you. if anyone is negative, mean, or tries to force u to do something uncomfortable, keep ur distance. u are working on ur life for the BETTER.  the stronger, happier, confident u are, the more opportunities u will have, more doors will open, u will Attract positive people, AND u will be able to get thru the hard times in life w/ ur positivity (case in point: u and ur family!).  \n\ngood luck, and taek care ALWAYS.  the future equals the Ability to Change! no matter what, u can change something little or big in ur life. so don't ever be upset at urself or others for the past. look forward to tomorrow, work hard, and play hard, be Happy and Healthy and u will find Positive things~

That's a hard one.  You have to just try and get them to see if they are negative, why they are negative and try to show them how to be positive.

ARE you negative all of the time, no you are not, for it is impossible in my opinion because every action has a negative and positive reaction its just that you see only the negative side, there is a old saying about looking for the good in everthing we do, will bring on happiness that shines through, now if you do this you will be happy some of the time until you meet the person who is bad that's when you get your butt kicked, but i would sooner be a positive person ,an optimist coupled with a good dose of common sense, and getting the mix right is called experience.\nthere are loads of self help books on the market but the one or two that helped me was ''i can i will'' by Norman Vincent Peale, it as a religious undercurrent but that aside he gives you a positive\nphilosophy to live by which is a very good reason to read it.\nand any book by Jonathan Livingstone seagull, another positive insightful author, regards LF

Humans are flawed. No matter how hard you try you tend to remember the bad things. It just has a bigger impact on you, for example you found your car keys but you crashed your car of course you would be negative I mean ya crashed your car and in that your not gonna remember that you found your keys. And the lives that we live nowdays are so hectic that it's just easier to be negative than it is to be positive.
