Are you a positive person or a negative person?

My mother was also a very negative person and I grew up tainted by that atmosphere. It took me years to overcome her influence. I would achieve things only to have her condemn them and then when things started to go bad I would lose self confidence. I do not remember her ever saying anything about me that was positive. I grew up with faith in myself but believed everybody else saw me as she appeared to. Looking back on it now it seem odd. I strongly believed in myself but felt the world hated me and I hated it back for not seeing me as I really was. One day I caught her in a lie and everything she had every said unraveled. I went on an inward journey and re-evaluated everything I had every believed and from then on I was free of her influence. I went on a couple of weekend retreats to help me turn my attitudes around. Now I am a positive person and have become very strongly positive with strong self esteem which is a good thing because now that I am ill and it would have be easy to fall into despair if I had not worked so hard to be strong and positive. So I would say that now I am a positive person who has learned to make the best of life that I am able to and no matter how bad things get health wise or financially I still enjoy my life.

I am a positive person i think.

I am neither positive nor am I negative. I am realistic. I see advantages where I need to, to make something better, and I see disadvantages where I need to, so as not to do someting completely stupid.

I'm a pretty negative person but I can be positive sometimes. I tend to be negative about things when I try to work for something and it doesn't come to me so easily. I hate when other people work less harder than I do and it falls into their lap. I get discouraged and I'm pretty negative about the whole thing. I tend to not want to try it again because I'm pretty sure I'll just fail at it again.

I think I 'm a positive person , or I couldn't exist in the world , everyday we will confront many problems , if you take a negative I think we can't solve the problem.

I am positive that I am Negitive....wait I mean negativly positive...I...Oh man now you confused me.

yeah i am a positive person... be positive always thats my policy

I am positive in every field of life. When something happens opposite our expectation, I always try to find only good things & say it is not worst than that. Always be patient & you will be lucky one day or the other. So be positive & be more happy.

I am positive too. Life have many positive and negative impacts. How we handle them is our choice. I believe being positive will lead to a positive path of life.

i was a pessimist before. my old friends certified that for me. but now i'm neither too negative nor too positive. sometimes being pessimistic puts me at an advantage. i don't always have a positive view of the future because if i do, i might not be working hard now. and while it is really depressing to always think of negative things, i've become stronger and more immune to depressions as i grow. plus, i've become more analytical through weighing pros and cons. the real problem really was because i think too much that's why i ended up being negative over things/situations, but while thinking too much i was able to understand a lot. currently, i'm enjoying my transformation to being realistic.

Hi missdaisy ,I have to say that I want to be a positive person and i always try my best to be like that ... And in my family my father is a negative and depressive person .From him ,I saw many things i want to reject... What's more ,i don not think his life now is good but he just said he has no choice but keep going what he always done ...Never thinks about any changes in life . You know ,because he smokes and smoking is not a good thing ,he had even been deadly ill because of it ,but he smokes after the illness become lighter and never give it up whatever my mom said ...And i never somk~~~ I make up my mind to be a positive person and to achieve what i want ,no matter how hard the journey is ... Best wishes for you ...

I am positive person from the deep of my soul, but the reality is cruel and I don't have much occasions to show this positive side of mine to anyone. So I consider myself now as a negative person.

i think im positive in the way of thinking,but sometimes being negative in a complicated situation...

i would definitely have to say i see the glass half full, so that would make me a positive person.

I am a positive person. I like to think anything positive and I try to avoid thinking the past or anything that makes me scared to do. I have not tried it yet then why should I scare of it. Who know it would make big difference?

I think that I am generally a pretty positive person. It isn't always easy when things are going rough, but I really try to look on the bright side of things as much as possible. I really do believe that life is what we make of it, so it is really important to try to find the positive things and focus on those. There will always be plenty of negatives, but if we constantly focus on them, then life will just be way to depressing!

good day.. Sad to say that I'm a pessimist but I prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It's hard to really hope or be optimistic to something that had yet to happen but I.m optimistic towards my love ones and to my friends.

i think everyone want to be postive.if i think that i m very positive maybe i will be negative in ur opinion.because u have ur own standards to measure positive and negative or u see things with different angle.i always try to think positive and hope that will be positive for others also.i can say "Nobody want to Think negative".
