Go with people whose outlook in life is positive. Be always on the lookout of the bad guys and stay away from them. Its better to be alone rather than to associate with the negatives vibes.

Very good advice. However, where could we find people who are positive in their thinking?
I try to shun away those who have negative wibes and attitude.
What about you?

You are wiser because you shun away those who are having negative attitude.
Nice to meet you.

Point taken dpk262006. I do shun away and in the end resulted to be the 'wrong' friend. I don't have time for these people (negative ones). Ah! finding the positive ones is everywhere; you will know because they don't always discourage you everytime you try to do something new.

Yep, that's how I thought it should be. A lot of people tend to take their lives too seriously that's why they see almost everything in their lives negatively. It's better to just keep it cool and if something bad happens but you don't really need to feel bad about it, then don't.

The point of living is to enjoy life. Well, you can actually choose how to live your life but if this is the case, why not just choose living it positively rather than negatively. I know how past experiences can be so cruel to a point where it's already over but you still feel kinda stuck with it wherever you go. Some ways to let go of it is to just let it go, shrug it off, let it slide. It's not a part of you anymore, it's who you were, not who you are.

or they have undergone a very bad experiences and they've become cynical with life. they seemed to have the preconceived notion that everything is not right; their point of view gone awry.

People tend to have different personalities. I like to be with positive thinking folk. I don't like to be with bad guys or negative thinking folk. Most of my friends are positive thinking people and I like happy go lucky types of people. One of my friends is depressed at the moment. He is having a miserable time at work right now. He has difficulty at accepting authority I believe. That is why he gets on badly with his boss. He has had the sack from a number of his previous jobs. One time he hit a colleague which he said had double crossed him. I wish that particular friend would get a more positive frame of mind. He needs to take his anti depression medication.

Whoa maximax8 your friend seems to experience bipolar attitude. I don't want to judge but he is a bit arrogant on the side due to his position perhaps? And since your positive attitude is very strong I am sure you can influence him.

I must say I 100% agree with you my friend and really I would have to say that being positive or trying to stay positive through tough times you may be facing in your life is really truly the only way to try and get through things such as sorrow or sadness. All of the friends that I have kept to this day is because they are so positive and help me to stay that way, it's definitely great to have people that can pretty much instantly.
I've found it is also pretty easy to regain positivity while alone doing things that help me to retain happiness. Walks, runs, playing basketball, playing music, building mini golf courses in my backyard and my friends backyard, and plenty of other activities are all great things to help stop negativity from slipping into your brain when you have a little bit too much on your brain. Sometimes a distraction from the negative is all we really need. Staying positive and projecting love is the best thing we can do for ourselves, each other, and the world. (: Great post friend.

Thanks jambi462, yes it is very inspiring with people who thinks positively. Most of them can help you decide in a productive way. But don't misinterpret me that I am fully dependent on their decisions as there is always God that can led me to the straight path which He favors. I do engage in sports and love to play tennis, sand dunes stuff stints and voluntary task of helping (positive attitudes towards society - the host country where I am currently working).

Much as anyone would want to be with the best in the world this is not always possible. There are situations when being with people that we do not choose is inevitable for example in an office and so it is better to learn to live with them than worry about the discomfort one suffers on account of it.

You are most correct allknowing that it is inevitable esp in the workplace. Working in an Arab country had left me no choice but to put up with some negative people for more than 6 years. Surprisingly, I survived because I don't normally go out with them. It was my choice & I believe it was the best.

Hmmm...This is true at some point, but it shouldn't be always the case. Also, doing this is quite hard since, in this world, we get associated with a lot of different people with different personality. That what makes life interesting, really. Also, it will be nice if you can inspire someone with a negative outlook to have a positive one. And yes, it is really necessary to look out and avoid the bad ones. They can hurt and harm you or influence you outright.

It is very hard indeed to wrestle with the negatives; notwithstanding to show them good examples and yet agentgulaman majority of them are arrogant and self centered. Believe me I tried but it was useless. So what can I do? except to leave & to cut cleanly.

I agree with you. Amen. I agree we should choose who we want to be with. Like friends, life partners, and relatives. It's up to us who we will be with. Like in school, I just always hang out and be with my friends who the people who will absolutely make me happy. As much as possible, I don't come near people who I know will just annoy me or give me any negative vibe. I want to be with people who will make me happy everyday, those people who will make me laugh really loud and maintains my positive vibe for the whole day. As for the people who will inevitably be in our life like teachers or officemates, I think we really have to work with them no matter what we do. I think we should just work with them and not be with them as much as possible.
