Are you a negative person? Because I am? So are there others like me who are negative?

No, I'm very positive about almost everything. Glass half full.

I have a lot of reasons to be hateful and bitter. If you knew you'd be surprised at the stuff I've seen and been through. But you know what? I chose to be a positive person and to overcome that which brought me down.  In my experience it is a CHOICE to be a positive or a negative person. Negativity attracts more negativity. A vicious cycle. So no, I choose not to be.

I am a cynic murderers, go free and people. Are locked up for owing child support.

I noticed awhile back I was becoming one, and I am doing my best to stop that. I have gotten to where I am negative only about one part of my life. My mother-in-law, and if you met her you would understand why. She is a negative person and it is contagious. I try to limit my exposure.

Oh no, man. I'm not into negative vibes, man. Oddball...from Kelly's Heroes.

I'd have to think I'm not negative overall. Everyone is negative sometimes, but all the time? Doesn't sound like a good hand to me.

A positive person is one who goes into a restaurant, orders oysters, and expects to find a pearl in one. A negative person expects to choke on it.

Lots of people are negative but it's just as easy to be positive and it's a helluva lot more fun.

I like to think of myself as cynical, not negative.  I have a dark sense of humor. I am very positive about the people I love! I have wonderful friends and family. I'm very positive about this little guy named Petey.

I have learned stop watching alot of the news on tv all that is negativity and then it gets to u

Well, with what happens in the world it isn't surprising that you can be negative or pessimistic.  I make a point of avoiding the news some days because they never report anything good. I try to limit my exposure because most stuff you cannot do anything about. I am no fool I know what this world can be like I have my own story. I never really knew how I came across,  my friend said I am an optimist. I suppose we just try to keep eachother going with a positive word because positive lifts, and moves people out of negativity whereas negative words drag you in further and suck you dry. I do tend to have a way of adding humour to most situations which is kind of a back kick to what is happening. Comedians often do this and we find ourselves laughing. All of us common folk ie not of royalty or pomp, know we are in this together, how we deal with it can be an individual experience and can change depending on how well we feel.

Some say the glass is half full, other's say the glass is half empty, an engineer says we need a smaller glass.

Take some time out to befriend yourself. Turn off the Radio and TV and listen to how quiet your thoughts get. I think it is a good idea to give yourself a break from the bombardment of high and low frequencies or opposing imput, which alter your mood, and go out to a park or woodland and look around you and listen to the birds sing. I also think it beneficial to take up an interest (action) that needs all of your attention and passion, this also quietens the negative chatterbox and produces something positive, whether it is with animals, design, mechanical, wood or metal work, or art for its own sake. 

Negative energy has sorrunded me these days :/

World has 99% negative minds, so you will find very easily one
