Today I was told that I was a "negative"person. I thought about it, and was actually taken back by the statement. I never really thought of myself as a negative person. I guess I do have a somewhat pessimistic outlook on life in general, however I've viewed it as a realistic appoach to things versus negativity. I surmise that this outlook has also allowed me to have a buffer of sorts to save myself from avoidable emotional distress or pain if possibe - it's worked.
I decided to Google "negativity" heres what came up:
characterized by habitual skepticism and a disagreeable tendency to deny or oppose or resist suggestions or commands
Yes, I am an extremely skeptical person. I'm generally open to suggestions from other's but my mind stops receiving said suggestions when I don't agree or think it's incorrect - so sue me! I do not take commands from anyone. Maybe I am negative. Or, perhaps I'm a bit too "real".
Well hmmm, I have known you for years. I would not suffice to say that your "negative" rather abrasive and matter-of-fact may be more the way I see you. Some of those traits may have come from the parents. In the years I have known you, I think that you a good person but one has to know you deeply to see that. Hmmm, food for thought, perhaps.
Thanks for visiting my blog!! I was looking at your music picks and we have some similar tastes! I didn't get my Floetry album, neither my *gasp* Mary Mary CD... aaaaugh!!
Keep up the good work!
I've been called negative but I think it's just seeing the world as it is... a lot of the time it is crappy. *shrug*
Hey hopluv.
Now I only know you online, but I've never viewed your persona as negative.
To the point - yep.
but definitely not negative.
i've never known negative people who get things done. And to me it seems like you get things done. heck hopluv, you are inspirational.
i think it's very easy for people to label things and people they do not understand.
or who don't fit in the same box as they do.
Be easy lady.
