Don't be a negative person.

They're horrible people to be around. They usually make you depressed or upset because their negativity rubs off on you, and often times its actually a cry for attention because of self-pity.

Don't be a negative person. It's not going to get you anywhere in life. You'll get trampled on, used, abused, and most likely will not achieve any of your inner most ambitions or desires.

Believe me, I know first-hand. I have been on both ends and it's not an experience I enjoy dealing with. I hate it when I'm negative because I know I'm being my own hurdle which I have to jump over. It's a difficult habit to break because being negative is the easy way out. It's the coward's way because I can run away if I feel I cannot do it. It makes me feel inferior, small and useless. Is that what you people like to feel?

What I've always wondered is why negative people don't see that they're the cause of their own depression. Sure, there some other factors like losing your job, girl/boy friend, a death in the family, your dog/cat ran away, but wake up and face reality. Those things happen to everyone and anyone. EVERY DAY. You're not that special so get over yourself. The world doesn't revolve around you, so wake up and smell the damn roses. No one is able to run your life except you. Self-pity and pessimism is an illness. The doctor (your friends and family) can only prescribe the medicine (give advice and comfort) but its up to you to take it, and fight that negativity to change it into something positive. Find the motivation to be better, do better, and live better for yourself.

Don't give me stupid and petty excuses about how you can't, how its impossible, how for "someone like you" its just not possible. I know its hard, even I have trouble taking my own advice so yes I am a hypocrite but I'm trying. It's really difficult to change my way of thinking from negative to positive but I've gained some self confidence. I'm a lot happier than I was before, I like living happy, don't you?

At the end of the day you're in charge of your happiness. If you don't want to be happy by dragging yourself out of your hole of self-pity and pessimism then that's fine. I will always be there to listen to a friend, but if you're going to give me the same bullshit every single time I talk to you, then you're not the kind of person I want to be friends with. Would YOU like to be friends with a person who is constantly going to pull you into their pity-party every time you talk to them?

I didn't think so.
I have nothing else to say.

Be happy. :) It's a beautiful day.

Cheers.
