melthebell   862 #1 Posted November 10, 2008 ...............never see positives?  Im posting this cos of a post i just saw on a thread and it got me thinking. I see negatives, live quite negatively i suppose, my cups always half empty  BUT  i do see poitives in things, people but i do think theres people out there that just cannot.  like people who are more right wing in thinking, take immigrants, people ALWAYS go on about the negatives of immigrants and immigration but surely theres positives too?  people moan about islam, i dont think ive seen a positive word about it on here, but surely there IS positives?

Jabberwocky   46 #2 Posted November 10, 2008 People in life see what they want to see, they edit the world to suit themselves and what they dont like they dont see.  Its the same on a forum, some people read an entire thread and only see what they want to see and pick on the bits they see- a person could say ten good things about a given subject and one bad thing about it but if someones sad enough, they`ll concentrate on that one bad thing.

Rich   12 #5 Posted November 10, 2008 I must admit I look on the "black" side of life more than the good.. Apparently it's a common trait in people with Asperger's syndrome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Swan_Vesta   11 #7 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm not a happy person by nature. This taints my posts, my views & my demeanour - My cup isn't half empty, it's dried out and the porcelain is flaking away. Cynicism, sarcasm and doubt are my watch words.  The only people who walk about with smiles on their faces all the time are the mentally ill - If you can't see how things are so crap then they need to give their eyes a rub.
