Negative People
I have noticed that most people struggle to see themselves as negative. But they tend to point out the negative side of things.
They always see the worse in other people’s motives and will always point out why things are less likely to work out.
Would you describe yourself as positive or negative?

Hmmmm. Both. I try to be positive, but I’ll admit to being negative.
I feel very negative lately, but I do try to be positive as much as possible.
I’m getting more positive as time moves on… I think times are harder these days, everyone’s on edge because of how tight things are with the economy and the all around negative crap that’s going on these days. The best thing I could ever do is focus on what I can do today to make my day a positive one, surround myself with more positive people, and ignore those that are stuck on toxicity.
I’m a bit of a Debbie Downey
i use to be negative, but i’m working on being more positive. i think i’ve come forward quite a bit.
I think most people are a balance of the two. No one is 100% positive, 100% of the time. I have my moments of both, but I try to understand that negative emotions are just that, temporary emotions that feel overwhelming in the moment but eventually will pass.
It is hard to be positive sometimes. In “Pretty Woman” She says, “The bad stuff is easier to believe.” But I am hardest on myself.
Negative most times. I guess that’s just my natural disposition.
by nature i think i’m positive, however i know i have a tendency towards negativity; when i look objectively at how people react to me and the things they say, i think a lot of my negativity is getting out what you put in.
Depends on the day and what’s going on.
I’m human, so I can be both negative and positive.
I guess is easier to point finger than blame yourselves not capable.
I always try to see the good in people. and maximize their potential.
I’m reasonably in between.
436 lbs of positive right here, bitches.
Compared to a couple years ago I’m extremely positive
I try to be positive..but I’m sure I am negative at times too.
Maybe we really can’t answer this question ourselves, but others around us should be the ones to answer. Ha.
i generally* see myself as positive.
but i can be “negative” by only because I’m a realist
Negative.
I’m an optimist. I have my down moments, but always have hope that things will look up. So… positive.
Depends on who I’m doing or what I’m taking. But I’ll go with yes. Or no. One of those.
I’m a total cynical asshole. I do tend to see a lot of the bullshit in my own life as well as with others, although I’m not always quick to point it out. But yeah, most definitely negative a lot of the time..
Im a mix of both. I am pretty positive, however when a not so positive situation arises, it gets the better of me and I tend to focus on it.
Externally I try to be positive (doesn’t always work. *coughcough* like today), internally I’m a pessimist. =/
A little bit of both, I guess.
You can’t post something like this and expect people to be truthful Dan,come on!
pssshh won’t even answer the question. why don’t you post on something more relevant
With myself I’m mostly negative but I try my best give a positive outlook ….. If that makes any sense
As an atom i tend to be neutral…
wtf it is usually easy to see yourself as negative while whining about more negative things about others and staying idle. if they didn’t show that they are trustworthy, reliable, and other positive characteristics while constantly doing stupid stuff that would cause my lack of confidence in them, then why would I support them. I’m not going to trust the crocodile with my chickens. it isn’t about being negative, it is about making better judgement to protect my own dignity
i want to be positive but i have zero self confidence so its hard.
I’m raelly positive. Even when I am negative I try to be at least a little positive. Like when I write about something that I am sad about, or that bothers me in my blog posts i always try to end it with a positive note. I am a super optimist.
I guess we all have our moments but mostly positive is the best way to fly. i think there are months that are more negative than others.(this is one of them by the way) .the stars compel but we do have the free will to do better…
I might come across that way but actually I am quite optmistic.
I’m a realist with a positive side. I can read microexpressions so I tend to notice the negatives of a person first.
I try to be positive most of the time, but fucking shit what the hell gaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhpeople
Some people just aren’t meant for this crazy idea called economic society. Hey if you like putting a value on each other then go for it, but do people really have a choice at birth whether they wan’t to live in this heartless, antisocial structure we have built for ourselves. Is free will viable anymore? or are we just going to accept what the herd leaders want. How can anyone be positive in a structure full of deceit, lies, capitalism, and fake individuality we call Ego.
pogative
Neither…I view myself as a realist and am therefore I am both. Positive and negative.
100% Negative.
I try to remain positive
I’ve been trying to be more positive, because I know I can be negative a lot of the time.
cheerful writing Dan!
Negative. But I do think positive things about people first, until they make me not to :b
I’m always the type of person who expects the worst but hopes for the best. However, I feel like when I am looking at different situations, I still try to be positive. I want to be a part of the solution. I can’t stand people who are constantly complaining.
You live in a different world than I do. Your view is no doubt a pure projection.
I believe I tend to have a cheerful composition. So it’s positive here.
This site reads like it was written by a person with a five year old’s perspective of the world.
How often do you chat with Jim Gravy?
Overly positive
It depends upon which side of the battery you hook me up to.
I’m skeptical of what some people put their hope in–but I have a lot of hope in other things. So..unconventionally positive?
I present myself as being a very positive person, but honestly, I’m so negative when it comes to myself.
Very, very negative.
I think I’ve always been more negative naturally, but I’ve been putting in an effort to become more positive.
HIV negative
Proofread.
Nowadays I’m leaning towards positive. Learned not to complain or say anything bad!
Doesn’t my handle say it all? In my work evaluation, this is the main negative comment, that I am too negative.
a realist
Everyone thinks they are positive. Even the most negative people think they are positive. That’s something very few are honest with themselves about.
I try to be positive, but I believe I’m negative more times than most. It’s something I’m trying to change.
I’m a pretty positive person for the most part, but I have my negative moments/periods
Life is too short to be negative. If you don’t like something, change it!
at work if they ever said,”we’re going to change……” I would dig in my heels before i even knew what they were going to do.
I’m not negative. I’m realistic.
actually, i think i am very positive and i think i typically see things in a pretty positive light. i really dislike conflict and negativity.
@Babyboomerjill - that’s funny, i’m so opposite. I love change and I go crazy when things become too routine.
i’m most prob both.. u can’t be too positive and negative sometimes.. u need a balance of both.
@caroliiineee - that is good that you can be open minded.
Positive
Stop fanning the flames of hatred in the aftermath of myself and Tim getting cyberstalked by celestial teapot. Remove that comment posted by sas gal against myself and Tim on your blog about deleting comments and just stop this.
That is being shared with whoever, just stop this fanning the flames it’s very dangerous and very out of control and not remotely funny and it’s a crime against YOU ALSO as of now. You should shut down this blog it’s being used to fan hatred.
Secrets and LIES more like it, what’s with this woman sas gal over there at
thetheologians cafe lying and saying that Tim and I bothered her so she had to
delete our comments. LIAR LIAR LIAR.
Nope, neither of us ever even went to her blog, never even noticed her until
she started reccommending the ever loving crap out of every hate blog posted
against us in the aftermath of the cyberstalking month of hatred and fanning the
flames.
In fact I say it’s downright weird that so many of thetheologianscafe blogs
have fanned the flames of hatred and spread the flames of hatred all over the
blogosphere in the aftermath of us being victims of celestialteapots
cyberstalking.
thetheologianscafe, he knows he’s always on top blogs for some reason, much
as he hates me for counter blogging his politics he’s using terrible judgment in
fanning the flames on and on and on all month long, he’s showing inhumane
irresponsibility.
So I looked her up, this woman who lied about us like that, sas gal, this
woman who lied TODAY, still,.on the theologianscafe’s blog today, we’re not even
blogging anymore, hardly, why would we still be at the top of her mind like
that, who the heck is she? Or who was she?
I looked up her ‘secrets and confessions’ thing, she sounds British to me,
her turn of phrase is not quite the same as American, I’m not sure if it’s
Canadian but it’s not quite the American linguistic style. That does not mean that
someone will not be held responsible for her lies on the theologianscafe blog,
someone will be.
So what will be the topic
of the, upcoming ‘secrets and confessions’ that she’s pumping everyone up
over?
Here is what I’m saying and I’m sending a copy of this to the Xanga team and
posting it on John’s blog since he says he’s the boss of this place. Posting it
on thetheologian cafe blog too, not that there is any reasonable reason to be
hopeful he would show any responsibility whatsoever – EVER.
Do not mention our name or any of
our former blogs names, and do not allow anyone else to do so
either. Way too much is way too much, I am expressly demanding the
theologianscafe to stop fanning the flames of hatred in the aftermath of the
already extremely damaging cyberstalking perpetrated originally by
celestialteapot on 8 June 12, and I’m telling anyone in charge, if there
is anyone, (and I am saying there is/are), MAKE IT STOP AND MAKE IT
STOP RIGHT NOW.
Our names best not show up
anything in that secrets and confessions thing either, advance notice is given.
We have had it.
yeah yeah DJ is a negative person, right. You would be too if you were
getting cyberstalked and harassed on top of having been cyberstalked and
harassed. So think I’m negative, FINE! Leave me if you don’t like it because
I’m saying there’s a reason I have to write a certain number of protest blogs,
and there has been all along, and this right here is a perfect example of
WHY.
Other recent inciteful blogs by thetheologianscare which are fanning and
spreading the flames of hatred in the aftermath of criminal cyberstalking on
Xanga -
“Do you hide your past,” something like that, trying to mock people who care
that they got cyberstalked.
“What could celestial_teapot find out about you?” was basically a letter of
commendation to celestial teapot for his ILLEGAL behavior.
Direct insult hate blog his DRAMA LAMA blog wher he slammed the crap out of
myself and Tim, calling Tim retarded and saying that my degree came off the
internt and they want it back (they light fun jabs at others to try to pretend
it wasn’t a hate blog) NOT FUNNY and SEEN FOR WHAT IT WAS “
His blog about “negative people an attempt to intimate that there was
something wrong with “us” for protesting being cyberstalked.
His blog “Do you delete comments” was designed to pull in hatred toward
myself and Tim too. Sure he’s posted that before but his timing is very
careless, clearly he intends us the harm he’s causing us.
AND SO MUCH MORE.
This has been sent to John in several different ways, ditto Theologian.
