    I wish people weren't so negative. Especially online, it's like 80% of what people say is negative (excluding here, of course). Take a look at youtube, all these people throwing around such hateful words not even thinking about it. It's really sad.

    I used to be a really negative person too. I just kind of drifted through life, not giving much thought to anything. Not really caring, not really trying. Well, I've made a big change since then. It's been 2 years since I decided to start living a new POSITIVE life, and let me tell you there is NO WAY I'm going back. I've started to look at things from a positive light, gave people the benefit of the doubt, and stopped judging things and people before I really understood them.

    Everyday is another chance, it's never too late to make a change for the better. You have the power to change someones life for the better, even in a small way. Hold the door for someone, help an old lady with her groceries, complement someone who looks like they need it.

    Life is amazing, it really is. I finally understand how lucky we all are to be on this amazing planet.

    Well when you are online its not like you know someone's emotions. Your reading a word document for fucks sake.

    maybe its how you take it in.

    Yuup. I agree with the OP. People today are pretty negative. I think social networking and the internet has contributed to this decline. We as people always need something to be negative or complain about, usually for the sake of conversation, to get attention, or to bring someone else down to stimulate their own egos. (I fucking love waffles)

    It's all in the Mind - and positive minds can change the people and places around them with their positive energy easily. Just as easily as a negative person can bring themselves, others, and their surroundings down with them.

    I think a lot of people aren't negative enough these days.
    There's just not nearly enough dissent in the world. A bunch of followers.

    I don't believe that you are either negative or positive. I think people are at their best when they are both.

    i can totally relate.. im a cashier at a grocery/pharmacy... some people are just so negative, and such assholes it really boggles my mind that people go about their day like that, just thriving off negative energy and living a miserable little existence. there are actually a lot more assholes like that than i would have thought... it really is sad.

    i just keep my vibes good, keep vibrating on a positive frequency as much as possible. i always keep my positivity about me and dont let small things irritate me... i understand that my happiness has the potential to lift others out of a little rut, and make them happy.. therefore i just try to keep smiling :)

    its always nice when you become positive and the world slows and you can enjoy all things you never enjoyed because your time was wasted being negative about something.

    I once say a girl who was quite a bit overweight on youtube just singing, she probably gets shit at school all the time, and she comes home to people trashing her looks on youtube. I saw some truly hateful things, it is quite sad.

    He didn't say he's taking anything too personal himself. He simply said he's seeing a lot of hate. Now when I saw people putting down the girl because of the way she looks, It's fairly obvious the intention of the person was to hurt the girl whether she takes it hard or not.

    i dont think dissent is negative. its opposing, but that is not itself negative. dissent, and opposing viewpoints, if properly aired and addressed can be a positive force, leading to rational decisions.
    i think the negativity on the internet is because of the detachment, you never have to see those people you insult. most people are horribly unwilling to look at themselves, and figure out what makes them THEM, but it is easy to criticize others. ah, if only we could all be honest with ourselves and others. if i call you a bitch, i mean it. and i'll back it up with quotes that lead me to the conclusion that youre a bitch. thats an example, most folk here are decent.
    i may be backwards, but im honest

    I was obsessed with the Care Bears when I was little. I still have my Care Bear cushion and cuddly toy!

    They made the world such a better place :D
