I'm Considering Leaving myLot

Yes, I am. The negativity I see here is making me super angry. There's no reason for negativity. And the idea that I can't be positive all the time about the situation, BUNK!!!
If you guys want to live in depression land, I'm not going to join you.
I lived with a mother who did her best to beat me to death with her negativity. Whenever I came home from a visit to my mother my husband couldn't stand it. I was negative to the max. I couldn't live that way and be happy. I don't know how you can be happy being negative.
It's one reason I don't spend a lot of time here like I used to and why my notifications are over 200. I spent the morning clearing out the oldest notifications. Now, before my anger colors my comments, I'm getting off myLot for a while. I don't like being negative. I don't like being angry. I need to refocus and get my happy back.
There's always a better way to live, and being negative isn't it.
Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I am hoping that I have not offended you in any way, if I did I am sorry and it was not intentional.
I can say I am not a negative person, I love life and smiling, happy, loving each pother, lifting others up to be the best they can be.
I would like to say... do not let the devil take your joy. Block those who are not happy people, I know I did.
I love you Valerie, do what feels right for you, we are friends on facebook so you can always talk to me when you want.

People don’t like people who have joy all the time. That’s their problem, not yours.

Love this. Valerie, choose joy. Whatever it takes. I hope you do not leave, but if you do at least I will know why.

You must really be upset as you are pretty easy going. It has become difficult here and all I can say is avoid posts that will potentially be irritating. I have come close to leaving here myself several times the past few weeks. Yes, I have made comments to others out of irritated reactions so I am also guilty. myLot needs you more than you need myLot and you have a busy full real life to satisfy you.

Thank you so much for the pep talk. I love it here and the people for the most part. Yes, it was the post that broke the camels back.
I don't do well with writing either when I'm angry. So, I didn't do much of that today either, but I did do something. I also got two walks in today.

Negativity? Where? You must be following the wrong people.

Lucky I am not seeing negative when I am here.
I hope you stay, maybe just stick to your followers and those you follow.
I really need to come here at times and talk with you all.

@CookieMonster46 I had to get my happy back and seeing the response on this post makes me realize how much people would miss me.

Negativity is a part of life but people shouldn't be all negative, or pushing their negativity on to others by being rude all the time. Smh.
I hope you don't leave. But I'm glad i have you on Facebook in case you do.

I am sorry to hear that you were feeling that way to the point of thinking of leaving! I can understand when some people are just always negative. I have moments, but try not to just be negative.

@just4him I have my moments, but I don't really make posts about it. If I am commenting then I might sound down....but that's about it.
And that is great news! I am glad that you are staying...and that you got your happy back :)

I certainly hope you don't leave. Although we are mortal enemies (you are a Packers fan and I am a '49ers fan) we somehow manage to overcome our differences and maintain a MyLot friendship. I see disagreements as an opportunity to learn. Sometimes we think we disagree when we actually don't. That's when the most interesting discussions occur. Vanny (@Vandana7) wonders why Iike sad songs so much. I think it's because I am an optimist. I will find the good in any situation. But it takes time. I will not deny the part of myself that has experienced, and needs to acknowledge, sadness. I will leave it at that for now.

I think you and I need to have a seriooooooooooooooooous chat to lighten up the mood out here...issue is, no househelp and lots to do and the net telling me ..don't be lazy your girth is increasing kinda. But I will try. You do have humor and I am the sensible person.

@TheHorse I have to laugh at your 'mortal enemy' statement. More like intense rivals during football season especially when our teams play against each other. I actually started a book a few years ago where the main character grew up in San Francisco and is a 49er fan. It makes it very interesting when she moves to Green Bay and is immersed in Packers country. I haven't gotten too far on that book.
Sad songs give you pause to reflect on life and see the good that came from the situation.
