Why is it so necessary for people to be so negative?

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 won't bash a fellow Pagan, but I agree that we should rise above, not rise against. Why should we lower ourselves to petty insults and bashing? If we are angry or hurt because others have attacked us, we should not seek to become that which has caused us pain. To carry that negativity around with us is far more harmful than to walk away and leave it at its source.

Sometimes people in our lives can be toxic to our emotional wellbeing.Learning to set boundaries for people and giving yourself time to just be alone,journaling your feelings and centering yourself really helps.Being positive is a choice you make,if people around you choose to be negative,try to bring a cheery disposition,if you feel uncomfortable around them,maybe its time to ask yourself whether you feel they are toxic in your life or not.

Mankind only thrives, grows, and advances when we focus soley on our own accomplishments. Paying attention to others failures does no one any good but perpetuate failure. There is no point in it accept to help negativity grow.

Because we make it that way kiddo.  There are ignorant people out there who can't see past appearances, sad but true.  And it's not just black and white, if I was purple people would be hating too.  People need to get off their butts and find something else to do.  But instead we let our own insecurities lead us to judge others in poor attempts to make ourselves feel more powerful.  Same reason when I was young I was picked on for being "husky" lol..  But anyway

Good question.  The standard explanation - that people only put others down when they are themselves unhappy and insecure - is bullshit. It's only narrowly responsible for some classes of meanness. I think it's just plain true that people often get genuine satisfaction from being mean. Something else to consider - if there was no mean, there'd be no nice.

Because unfortunately, some people are too busy being jealous, hateful, rude and judgemental to lower their guard and just smile at others. Sad isn't it?  *Big Smile*

other people doing good makes them feel inferior, and makes their own short-comings be more obvious. it's easier for them to knock on you than do something to impact their own lives in a positive way.

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.

People have negative feelings towards things they don't understand.  A little eductaion may be all these 'people' need.  But than some people are just stuck in their old racist ways.

It's not necessary at all. There will always be some people that behave in a way that you don't like but they have the right to act the way they choose. Try focusing on the positive people and Q&A on this site and you will barely notice all the negativity that goes on. Spread love and light up the world.\nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

because your viewpoints oppose theirs.\n\nand by voicing it out, they might be afraid that you can influence others into having the same mindset as you.\n\nAlso, there's definitely racism and elitism in every social level. so when you are supporting someone or something that this social level looks down on, they of course, feel that they have a right to be rude!

Well ..It basically depends on the kind of charector..some ppl think they r being realistic and they appaer to other ppl as negative... being negative is being pessimistic but u can be realistic along with being positive and optimistic too.

Many people are like that, for several reasons. It could be for intimidation, or just because people don't want to worry family and friends. Normally, people are unhappy because of the everyday problems that arouse as we go on. Things like money, office work, children, social problems, health problems, and many others don't necessarily make one unhappy, but most people faced with these things don't try to appear unhappy.\nBut, on the other hand, many people are not like that. Many people are in love with life and are as happy as can be. they don't need to make others believe that they are happy- they already are! People who don't socialize much might not have as much of a need to make others feel like they are happy, though.\nIt's hard to say whether the statement is right or wrong, but there are different types of people. Let me just say that a lot of times, the superficial reality is different from the truth.

it teaches us to become use to a lot of negative things and see them as normal.... people learn to think-its on tv all the time, it must be okay to do myself in real life! thats why

Ignorance and greed, in my opinion cause hatred.  I don't know where you are from, but I think most people are good at heart.  Fear is a negative thing too.  People fear what they don't understand.

Sweet heart , if there is not bad people in this people how we'll we get to know that we r good. Its just a system which has been going on for a long time that some people r good and others r bad. If me and u want to change this rules we cannot. In one-side u can say that its justs a game of time. Sometimes it introduces us to good ones and often bad. Yah! what u say is  completly true. Yes there are many people who are jealous with our happeiness. They are jealous because whatever we have they don't have. And they want to achieve this things because they think no they deserve that. They are proud and arrogant of themselves. But what happened is for good. If ones u met some problem because of a bad person, in life u will be aware of all this . By the ways whatever happens life always goes on. Don't think of this much, because it will only make u hurt no one else. And always try to keep away urselve from this peoples. Thanks alot . Take care.
