Why some people are Negative about everything in life

Yup there are many people in life who have that pessimistic attitude. They think that everything bad happens to them and they believe that life just sucks. They just don't understand the value of life which god has given them. They continue with their lives being sad and gloomy and do nothing and care for no one.

yes many of the people always have negative thoughts. I don't know why maybe They only want safe and security life. they never try new things in their life. i'm congratulate you. yes you are a different and self confident guy. you should become a good position because of your confident.

its fine, dont mind them. there are always ups and downs on whatever we want to do and they are the downs. so all you have to face now is the ups. goodluck to whatever you want to venture with. as long as you have faith that you can do it and faith with the Lord then nothing can go wrong that you can not make right. . reading your discussion made me think that you are pissed with this people but they are just other people. in my experience it was my father who always brings us down when we want to venture with something. he is always saying negative things so we wont push through. that is more disturbing when a member of your family pushes you down instead of guiding you to make it right.

Once upon a time ,when i was young i too was negative but much later i surprised myself by taking steps which were considered to be risky.However i did not get any opposition and was quite successful in what i did. In fact it turned out to be a very good decision with far reaching consequences that helped me in my future life.So far i have not come across people who have played a negative role in my life nor have i met anybody who has discouraged me in anything i did.

To me it is a matter of perspective. What you perceive to be your own truths and your own paths. Many people will criticize you, if your path is different then theirs though, because, well misery truly loves company, and they don't want to see you rise above them, and change. It really is as simple as that. They like things to stay the same, but, if that was the case, only half the world would still be populated by white people, instead of us being everywhere we aren't wanted. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

I find that I can identify with this. It probably stems from looking at all the little restrictions in life and adding them up to what seems a surprisingly large whole. I'm certainly not saying that I would discourage others trying to achieve something for themselves, but for myself I often see why I cannot, rather than how I can.

There are many people who see the negative side of things. These people are jealous of anyone and anything The only good thing is that you did not say them ...anything Negative energy can influence your achievements

Of course a positive attitude helps in all areas of life. I know once I started to adopt it, many of the problems that I felt were crushing me went away. The problem is that it is not something you can just turn on. Many individuals need to experience the gamut of emotions in life so that they can get to that point. Also when a person is constantly in negative situation which they are unable ( or at least think they are unable) to escape, it is very hard for them to come to that point. While it would nice to be institute personal change immediately , its the context of our lives that determine our behavior.

Some 3 years ago I left the bank and started a business with a group of friends. A lot of people including some friends were telling me I didn't make a good decision. I already was in the managerial position and to start something new that is very uncertain. But unlike you, I had a number of friends and family who were encouraging me. They knew that I will have lesser stress and more quality time with my family. Those who were once very critical of my decision now are quite positive on it and are not happy about it. Maybe some people are just negative on some things in life but when they get the bigger picture they would just realize that it is a good life.

hi smartJack ,unfortunatly i'm a negative person. before doing sonething i always think it over and over and give up at last. so i'm very glad to rspond your discussion about the negative attitude . i will focus on it and learn some methods to change my life attitude. thanks a lot

Some people always thing negetive. its not Fair . think positive be positive . Again and again negetive result makes people puzzled . Some times lack of confidence level does matter . If you have self confidence so you should overcome negetive attitude negetive thinking.

I am the same as you, and I don't like people who have always negative attitudes towards everything (and give you bad advices even when you didn't ask for them). I left University because I wasn't going anywhere with it, and decided to work and study alone to do International Languages exams, which, differently from university, are recognized everywhere in the world. I got really harsh critics, and I was said I couldn't do anything alone at this point. You know what? I proved them totally wrong. I'm working in two different places right now and I already got an A in a German exam, the highest level. Just do it your way and prove everyone they're wrong with their negative attitudes. They're the one who influence themselves with that attitude of theirs.

Yeaah i have such a friend. He is always tell me bad thing about my bike such as - ohh that thing is broken you will fall down an everything like this. I hate this thing about him because when hi jump and fall down i don't tell him anything because i am a good friend but i become very angry when hi did that.

I guess it's just their type of personality or maybe nobody was ever nice to them. They suffer from being negative and make other people suffer too.

Good gosh! I grew up with two people who are constantly negative and now I'm married to a guy who constantly thinks on the negative side. I'm constantly telling him to think positive for once please! because it just grates on my nerves so badly. Don't get me wrong now, my husband is a good good man because he's good to people who are good to him and he's VERY good to me however, he freaks out over things such as someone could rob us if we leave the windows opened. I say, if they're going to rob us, they're going to rob us regardless if the windows are opened or not! Besides, that's what insurance is for. Another senrio would be, we meet someone new and they don't give a good impression, he'll carry on and on about them. YIKES!! However, I know it's not his doing, really because it's his mom who put that thought in his head from the time he was a mere boy till he grew up. It never left him. She even told him "Never trust anybody, not even your own mother"!! Now what mother would tell their child that?! She sure did! Thank God he learned to trust me but it took some time for him to do so. We've been married now for 19 years come next month and we're still very happy.

There are 3 types of people in this world. One pessimistic, one optimistic and one which are both in different circumstances. The pessimistic always think negative, they will give you negative advice and find the faults first. The optimistic always think positive and will give you good advice. These people will see the good side of people and find no faults. There are some people who change sometimes they are positive and sometimes negative. These people use their brain well and know when what to think......I think there are more pessimistic people in this world.

I think one of the reasons why some people are negative about everything in life is because they had experiences before that really didnt make their perspectives change. There are times that we expect things and things dont turn out the way we want it to. Sometimes I think I am very pessimistic about the different things going around me but I just think about them negatively and I dont expect cause I dont wanna get frustrated and disappointed after something is not done.

Their are two kinds of negativity.The one was to make you stronger and the other one was a challenge its your pick.For some they are saying something negative for you to become better to persuade in your dreams.The eagerness for you to fight whats right.Do not listen to those people who got nothing to do with there lives.In fact that negativity will soon become your strength in business.
