I have spent the morning reading posts just out of sheer boredom. Why is there so many negative posts out there? Mind you I think it's just people who are plain negative and need find ways to make their lives more up beat and positive. I've stopped responding to the negative. It just wears on you after a while.
I hope you are having an awesome day!!

Simply speaking, negativity is something that comes to mind much more easily than positivity. I do wish I was wrong, but there are going to be more people talking about the more negative aspects of life, because they tend to feel like they are more affected about them. Of course, that is not something that is healthy, but for some reason, people talk about them and other people get drawn to them rather quickly.
As much as we talk about how its healthy to be positive, being negative actually attracts more eyeballs. It is almost like a trainwreck mentality where people tend to get drawn to the most horrific and appalling disaster in the world. That being the negativity of the world. I try to move beyond it, because there are days where if you let negativity overwhelm you, it can really crush down upon you, with a horrific force.

Being negative is not something I allow my self to do anymore. If I start to feel that way, I pick up the phone and call a friend who will make me laugh and get me out of that funk. I am blessed to have great friends there for me when at happens.
People who are negative like the attention. The ones I know anyway. But I steer clear from them and surround myself with positive happy people. It does wonders for me anyway. One I cut the negative people out I began to feel so much better health wise!

Negative thinkers negate people because that's what ghey do best and that is failing. That is why they dont want other people to succeed.

I've learned that negativity brings me nothing but hard times, so it is best to be positive. Now there are times I leak out a negative post, but that's for me to vent. I can understand "venting" posts, but was wondering what negative posts you've been seeing here lately.

There is a difference between negative and venting. We all vent from time to time. The negative is usually my ex-friend did this and that. Or my friends do this to hurt me. Yet from the posts the friendships have been over for years but they are still writing about it. It's plain obvious they are not over the friendship or want to rekindle it but don't know how. I have deleted this person as it is draining to read that stuff day after day. It's gets to a point where you know they don't want responses they just want the person to read this. Very childish and proves they have major life issues.
