    Be an electron. Poor things are always negative. Protons are boring.

    My last job was a small company and there were only 2 of us in the office, me and my boss. She was THE most negative depressing person to around EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Her attitude sucked the life out me. I quit. I loved that job, but I quit.

    You pessimists better get a clue, and lighten up. Imagine if one of those ladies smiled and said, "it's cool girl, you can have the parking spot, instead of what they ended up doing. Video below:

    If I answer Yes, is that considered positive?

    I don't know how people can do it, but some are just miserable almost all the time. There is plenty in life to be grateful for, just gotta open your eyes. As @kschwab0203 mentioned, that negativity can really do a number on those you share air with.

    You said the magic word: grateful

    Without gratitude, life is pretty empty.

    Actually pessimists probably are safer.....I remember reading an article about evolution and pessimists....the optimists all die off because they are soooo positive they can cross that icy lake....

    Did you know that most published scientific research is fake?

    Here's a formula:

    Conjecture + confirmation bias + data manipulation + pressure to produce + financial incentives = some nonsense an academic paper will publish and your local news will reiterate.

    Don't be negative. You might mess up your tv.

    These videos you posted are more angry then negative. I know negative people that don't seem angry at all. They're just always whiny and overall sad about EVERYTHING. Anger passes eventually. I think negativity lingers on longer.

    On a side note, Liftinglady is putting a positive spin on negativity. So is she positive, positively negative, or positive despite negativity?

    Hmmmmm.....

    I don't subject myself to toxic people anymore. It's just stressful and unhealthy. I used to tolerate all sorts of unhealthy people, attitudes and environments. But I'm an independent, grown up adult now, and I refuse to be sucked down into that hellish existence. So I just eliminate those negative forces and all is good. I may have fewer folks in my life as a result, but the ones I do have are quality people worth having around. I highly recommend a good purge. You only have one life, live it well! B)

    You can't be negative all the time.

    Because you come across stuff like this:

    Fake like a deliberate hoax to fool everybody, or fake like how you could send a rocket to the moon with Newton's laws but they're not a complete description of reality?

    I think the glass is half empty but I feel positive to know I can still dump the contents over anyone's head if I want to

    Saucy.
