Are you a negative person?

[Fallon]

I've realized recently that I've held grudges or let stuff bother me way after it's happened. Whether it's at work or in my personal life.

Like at work with people talking shit about the other shift or supervisors and I just jump and and take over with the bitching. It's actually starting to make me feel bad and I think most of it is assuming people are doing shit and getting mad at them for it.

I'm trying to make changes when it comes to that, it might be difficult, but I want to be more easy going.

I maybe unhappy but I am never negative. I never blame others for my problems. It is no one else's fault I am miserable.

[Rotten_Shawny]

usually if i let stuff get to me it ruins me, so instead i just smoke a joint and forget about it. life goes on and shit happens.

I used to be, sort of. As of late though I've realized bitching about stuff doesn't really do anything. Seeing the glass half empty is no fun. When you think it's half full it means you're getting more out of the little things and not letting the small stuff bother you.

I would say to write down all the negativity you have. When you start being negative, jot down why you feel that way in a notebook. After you've written it down read it and ask yourself if it's worth you having these feelings. If it is, then address the problem head on, but if not? Let it roll off your back. It'll be difficult at first, but with time it should become much more natural to not harbor animosity.

Best of luck.

I'm very pessimistic and negitive about life in general but at work I try to say positive things because I don't want people to think I'm a drag. Perception in many ways is your reality so I'm working on it.

It does not change the fact that me and everyone I know will suffer and die someday. Have a great day.

I used to be really negative, but I think it was because I was living with a really negative person, my sister.

Then I realized that I am a very happy person and am naturally very positive, but nothing makes me as miserable as when I'm around a miserable person... especially when they don't let me cheer them up. I can get caught up in being negative but I consciously move on very quickly and put things behind me.

I think some people just have a way of processing information and situations where they need to talk things over or mull things over for a longer time than other people and that's what other people might see as being negative...But it's also an unwillingness to move on from a situation and refusing to see the positive aspects of a situation as more appealing.

i'm a very cynical person, and that comes across as negative

On the board - usually
Not on the board - never

[Bob Impact]

In personal matters no, I don't hold grudges in that if someone wrongs me I write them off and don't think about them or the problem again.

In business, yes, so much so that I've garnered the nicknames "Negative Bob" and "Mr. Motherfucker" because I'm difficult to deal with.

[PanterA]

Are you a negative person?No!!

[Mike Teacher]

No!!

Are you positive ?

[Boom Boom]

I'm usually a good, kind, happy person except when I'm acting like a nasty, grumpy, frustrated asshole.

[watson]

I am negative towards ignorance and stupidity

Start smoking weed. You wont give a fuck about what anyone does. At least not for the first few months

[epo]

I would like to think that I am, but my only fault is that I think that Snoogans is very very negative!

:innocent:

[Jughead]

Im a salesman I can't afford to be negative

[Fez4PrezN2008]

I must exude a negative aura sometimes... The other week at the grocery store I passed by a little 4 year old who as I passed said to her mom "why's that man angry mommy?". The wierd thing was that I was happy as a clam on the inside at the moment it happened and that just kind of ruined my day and made me question my existance. There is no one more truthful than a 4 yr old. (Even though I wanted to strangle that f#ing brat!) - So, NO godamit, I am NOT a NEGATIVE person!!!

[Gvac]

I don't like people who are overly negative or overly positive.

When things are good I'm happy and when they're not I'm angry or sad.

I'm less likely to label things as either "positive" or "negative" than most people, though. For example, sales are very low at my workplace right now. It's industry wide. People aren't spending money because of the economy. Instead of worrying and crying about it like some of the other sales people, I realize things are bad right now but they'll get better again. I refuse to give myself ulcers over it.

[A.J.]

Some would consider me to be "negative". I consider myself to be "realistic".
