Are You A Negative Person

That’s because I was outstandingly positive about BREXIT varian!
???

I don't remember you being positive about the EU, UG - irritating maybe, positive - definitely not.

I’m irritatingly positive. A real Pollyanna. Always have been.
As I’ve gotten older I do have health anxiety but apart from that I’m a cheerful soul. My mantra is that 9 times out of 10 our worst fears never materialise. We have much to be grateful for. The war in Ukraine has highlighted that for me.

Good luck finding your sunny equilibrium again GG13. Summer sunshine will help too. x

^I consider myself a positive person. My husband, on the other is pessimistic, his negativity can get me down sometime. When I complained about it, he will say that he is not negative just realistic.^

That's us too.

Thats exactly how I feel and DH's response is the same.

I am a positive person, but my DH the exact opposite.

Exactly the same here Marydoll

I think I have probably become more negative as I get older. I tend to take the view that if you expect the worse, then anything more than that is a bonus.

Encouraged and kind of pushed my daughter to move to the city because I could see that his negativity is beginning to rub off on her.

I think I am in the middle. I am good in a crisis but like to prepare for every eventually before I can be entirely positive about something. My DH is always positive which helps me.

Surely we are all a mixture and can’t be defined as a “positive” or “negative” personality. Situations change and so do we.

This.

I'm positive and appreciative of small things but pessimistic about large things.

I try to be positive and see there is a reason for everything. Sometimes it is hard going then a GD says something and I laugh and I'm positive again. I am lucky I have a very positive DH who says I have got more negative and confrontational since joining Gran's net. Yah boo to him.

Not at all. Glass always half full. Things are never as bad as they seem etc. Still very happy with life

Sorry to say glass half empty here.
Decisions made in early adult life always turned out to be the wrong one. I slowly started to try and think through all negatives before making decisions.As DH says couldn't make decision to save my life.
Now struggle the older I get with more family to fret over .

I would say I’m somewhere in the middle . But I am a realist I say and see things exactly as they are, never expect anything. DH definitely glass half empty. Totally opposite in that as soon as there’s something to worry about he sticks his head in the sand ?

You’re not alone nadateturbe.

Thanks Smileless.

I was realistic along with a large dash of glass half full however, over the last two years of lockdowns/restrictions and spending so much time at home I have become more of a glass half empty person with a fair amount of negativity thrown in.

I have had a stern word with myself and shall endeavour to return to my pre-Covid personality. I think it may take some time, I shall persevere as I am not enamoured with me at the moment.

I am also neither one nor the other.

I like to think I look at things from all angles and consider the pros and cons

My DH has his head in the clouds quite a bit and comes up with some unrealistic ideas/suggestions. I confess that I tend to be a bit more negative when he comes up with some of his impractical and impossible to carry through suggestions. If I went along with everything he suggested it would be a disaster. I do get accused of being negative then.

Makes perfect sense to me nadateturbe because I'm the same .

I’m relentlessly cheerful most of the time, with the occasional meltdown when the medical stuff overwhelms me.

I think if you voice opposition or point out problems that might be seen as negative even though you are giving constructive criticism.

Same here Calpurnia.
Only my blood is negative.

I`m neither one or the other.
Take what life throws at me and deal with it as best as i can.

I’m a positive type too, DH, not so but I do wish he could see the brighter side of life for his own sake.

I'm a combination of positive/negative/and realistic, depending on how I feel at any given moment.
I'm sure that doesn't make sense to anyone.
