I used to be so positive, but recently I’ve been going between neutral and negative. Life is finally getting me down.

I’m a bit more negative now. Not been feeling too good recently. I had a brief spell of good vibes before that though.

Depends on the subject. I am not someone who is “moody” and thinking the worst is always happening to them etc. I try and not get to hung up when things go bad. But at the same time people who are unrelentlessly positive all the time irk me a little because I feel like they are being false. It can also make plans more complicated when people are unrealistically optimistic. Like not giving enough time/attention to things with a “it’ll be fine” attitude. I had a friend I worked with who was like that and it just made things worse because the “positive attitude” distorted my concerns which turned out true later.

So I think a balance is ideal.
I get slightly frustrated when people are very negative even if its just about themselves.

I tend to be a bit negative on things as a whole but I kind of blame my upbringing and mental illness for this.
My parents were very overprotective of me since I was a child.
Also I have lots of anxiety and OCD symptoms

I usually flip depending on mood or the amount of triggers. When i feel safe and my brain is acting right im pretty positive and harmless but when i think people are mistreating me or my brain chemistry goes bad im negative.

Ive also learned to separate my ocd intrusive thoughts from the me that has to put up with the negative thoughts that are out of my control

At work I have a very positive attitude and always wanting to help people

My home life is somewhat different

So averaging it out I voted neutral

IDK, the problems with the neighbors and my last roommate and the problems with the general public kind of drained me of positivity these last several years. I wouldn’t say I’m a negative person but I find it hard to see the good in people anymore. I have a few positive people in my life now who bring out the best in me but I’m not as positive person as I used to be. I guess I’m somewhere in the middle.
