JJT,
Being negative is easy, but unfortunately unhealthy and destructive. You don't even have to do anything or go anywhere. Technology has allowed people to spew out negativity all day long sitting in their basement lazyboy with a beer in one hand and their phone in the other.
Negative thinkers have a negative bias in their thinking, and they automatically attach a negative meaning to even neutral events of life. You wonder why even positive news from a company is consistently bashed within minutes? Why other message boards have turned into sewers of negativity. Why there are people like Stoicinvestor that take time out of their precious life to thumbs down everyone's post here regardless of what it says?
Negative thinkers misinterprets reality and weaves a destructive and twisted meaning in one's own mind. While a negative person thinks they are only being selective with their negativity, it usually runs rampant though all areas of their life including family and friends. They seek out negative friends who also have a negative bias so their friends twisted thinking agrees with their twisted view of how screwed up life is. The more negative people they can find, helps reaffirm their view points are the right one. Twitter and message boards are a lifeline for their negativity survival. For a negative person, there is only one outcome in their mind and that's the worst possible scenario. Doesn't matter if that scenario is even based in reality. They're right and nothing else is possible.
Being positive is harder than being negative. For every positive person there is not one, but a hundreds critics who are happy to point out the futility of your endeavors. Negative thinkers fear healthy thinking people. Why else would they talk and post about them so much? Why else would they name call which is something immature people do?
A healthy person doesn’t have a bias in the way they think; they don’t have a preconceived notion about the way their life is going to be or is supposed to turn out. Life is taken one moment at a time, one day by day, and healthy people like it that way.
All of their interactions with the world are neutral until they decide what a particular event means to them. A healthy person does have negative thoughts, but doesn't dwell on the negative for very long and moves on. Just the opposite of a negative thinker who is a slave to their negativity for months and years at a time. For a healthy person, everything is possible and they may based their decision on what is probable vs. what is impossible.
I just wish iHang had a way to enhance the ignore feature so when I put someone on ignore, it's two ways and keeps them from torturing themselves.
