Negative?
So my wife has been kind enough to point out how negative I am. Strange since I always thought I was positive. I was positive that I was positive. Oh well. It would seem that I do focus on negative things. It bothers me to know how negative I can be. Is there anyway to change that negative feeling that creeps up inside every time I see something annoying? I have friends that appear to me to be more negative than myself. At least I notice the negativity and focus on it. Maybe that is the key, I only see negative behavior and negative actions because that is what I look for. Is this hard wired? Where does it come from. It is strange because I am truly happy. I would not change a thing about my life- it is wonderful. I am truly blessed and I know I am blessed. But in my day to day life I want to kill people who cannot drive, I want to smack idiots who do not know how to use the self checkout at the store, I want to shake people I overhear talking about things they have not the slightest idea about. Is this negative or is it just me?

I took this when I was in Mexico. It makes me relax just looking at it.....
Being negative keeps you on your toes. It's when people walk around with a constant smile and think everything is going to be OK that they become complicant and accept everything. Perhaps a happier way to go through life but I think people like that are just fooling themselves. My rule, be personally thankful but be skeptical about everything else
ReplyDeleteI've never really viewed it as negative but more a consequence of having very high expectations of both yourself and those around you. Those that fall below those expectations get noticed, big time. You don't suffer idiots. I'm not sure if you put me in the more negative box. I am a realist, and realize there are a lot of idiots. Those I tend to ignore and not waste my time worrying about. Unless, of course, they are cutting me off in traffic!
