Positive only subforum

Post Reply New Topic

People do gravitate to the negative alot, what about a sub forum where we only discuss positive things? Positives about hobbies, positives in our lives, positives in the news

I feel much more positive since losing a few electrons.

^ Badum-tish, etc. with a sciencey twist.


enz, why not just make positive posts anywhere/everywhere instead?
For example: Art, Writing and Music for hobbies, Random Discussion/General Autism Discussion for positives in our lives, News and Current events for positives in the news.
Plus any of the other forums for positive things related to those.

^ because reading the negative stuff over and over again, gets tiresome.

I like the idea.

You rarely see me posting something negative. I found long ago now that if I focus on the negative (ie, feed the evil wolf) my life gets worse. When I focus and talk about the positive, my life gets better.

I had several positive things today, enz. Thanks for asking.

The Royal Poinciana trees are in full bloom in a small city near where I live. Poinciana trees can grow to be large spreading trees and this time of year they are literally covered with flaming orange blooms.

Royal Poinciana

Nope….you can never deny that blooming flowers are positive

I am going to get tons of quiet time over the next 7 days, and likely be alone every single day. I am so excited I can barely contain myself.

^ it would be great if we could do that. It is something to aspire to. And many do.

This is also a great idea.

Thanks for posting the picture.

Inevitably, a “positive-only” subforum will be invaded by the Negative Nelsons and Nellies.

So, I am sitting in my garden and got carried away with all the things I am grateful for. It started with the buttonbush blooms, attracting the swallow-tailed butterflies. Then the bumble bees and wasps pollinating all the flowers. The mango tree I am sitting under dripping with mangos. The banana trees. The blue sky. The puffy white clouds. It was overwhelming.

There is a special sort of centeredness and joy I can get when sitting in the garden.

I know few types of 'positives'.


Variation One:

Chocolates. And chips. Also more chocolates.
Some mischief. Preferably out in the open in a middle of a crowd.

*Pick your favorites cause I'm bored.


Variation Two:

Watching a seed sprout.

Slowly it climbs up. Against the gravity. And against the wind.
Two leaves sprouts. Another two sprouts.
And does it again. Then again and again.
Goes towards light. Then a bud.
Bud grows big. Then it sprouts.
Bloomed it did. Colored oddly.
Flower spreads out. Wanting for the wind.
Then in time, seeds will fall.


Variation Three:

I love my mom. My sister accepts me. I'm never alone.
While we had a roof over our heads, we still get by. Even after luxuries or two to indulge, we get by.
I'm grateful for this life. Had enjoyed some, even if I lose some.

*I wish you all feel the same. In this life. And especially around this time.


Variation Four:

*I just had my networks looking and maybe giving me an online game that would pay me to play it.
Also that (not saying!) series was good. Been binging it for nearly a week now.
*Got the next covid jab in the next 3 weeks!
I'm sure my boss would accompany along with mom's coworkers, who are, like, city officials. Oh yeah, lucky me!

*Also congrats on living! Or at least still be alive! We're gonna survive this heck!


Variation Five:

*gives puppy kisses and hugs or something to that effect.


Variation Six:

??? Context.

Show Spoiler

*I'M KIDDING!!!11!!@#?&?#!

^ Yep, agreed. It's never as straightforward as it first appears.

These suggestions are made with the very best of intentions but are often practically impossible to self-maintain - they never seem to grow legs and run.
I remember a "positives only" flavor was started on religion but after the initial interest and various Christian declarations of loving Jesus and the like (I don't remember seeing other religions represented), interest quickly faded - I think because there was nothing posted to actually discuss or talk about and apart from a few "Me too" and "That's great" posts, that was it.

Some things could be positive in one situation and negative in a different situation

For example many job descriptions specify "outgoing" and "enthusiastic". However while living in the wild, being outgoing is not necessarily a good thing. Enthusiastic precious lil "people" are the babe of my existence. They act like lil drama queens. Adrenal fatigue
