Starting to feel positive now

Post Reply New Topic

I really struggle with negative people, people who moan about things consistently. Yes things are bad, yes I'm different, no I don't fit in with everybody but hey ho life goes on. If I dwell on the problems then they seem worse, but if I start to focus on something I enjoy then I am able to forget your worries for a while and feel positive. At times this seems impossible, so I may start with watching a good film, read a book, start a new painting or if I'm really calm I can get on with some programming but that's a rarity these days.

Once I've got a project I'm interested in then the other bits of life don't bother me. I may go do a sh***y job I hate, with people I don't talk to or like, but I'm thinking of my projects and what I'll do when back home... hopefully one day one of my projects will get me out of the rat race and let me live and shape life to how I it want to be!



What makes you feels positive?


Oh, chocolate is always a good starting point for me

Anything that tastes delicious (fruits, salads, cakes, cheese, salmon and many other things). Drinks such coffee, wine, grapefruit juice and so on.

I'm learning a foreign language. I'm also starting a new hobby. These things give me some joy and make me temporarily forget the shït people at work.

Yes taste and texture is something that gets me going, things like hard bananas or pickled beetroot, mmmm

my girlfriend

You really struggle with negative people, and yet earlier you were making a concerted effort to goad, troll and badger here on WP -- a pretty negative activity, rarebit.

It seems another of your hobbies that makes you "start to feel positive" is starting sh!t on forums you just joined. Brand new and you already took delight in making trouble.

Now you're all "butter wouldn't melt."

Amazing, the denial.

What are you really doing here on WP?

I also don't like being around negative people, esp. those who whine a lot.
People don't have to be positive or optimistic all the time, but more realistic and rational is fine.

Ah yes, caffeine. Tomorrow's cappuccino is gonna be glorious. Yerba Mate tea is also good for one's inner sunshine, it has alkaloid anti-inhibitors!

Being drunk is what makes me feel the most positive.

I also feel really excited when I have the potential to become friends with a new person, because you never know where that could end up.

Eating a huge pizza smothered with anochovies, oh god yes please sign me up, kthx.

Getting things done and deleting them from my lists, perfecting my wild system. The system, when completely perfected, is going to make life much better for me, ergo working on it makes me feel positive about that eventuality. Great coffee, cooking beautiful Japanese food, reading and learning new things.

All the foods that I associate with positive things I should not eat as they make me feel sick in the long run. This includes bread, cheese, chocolate, coffee, bacon or any other smoked meat, potatoes, alcohol, etc. If I have sex or masturbate when my mood is down it brings it down further when it's over.

These things are also addictive for me. Fulfilling addictions and cravings always seems to bring my mood down. I struggle with what to do with myself when not focussing on an addictive thing.

It is probably my lack of ability to stop a thing once its gone long past the pleasure point.

Threads like this always make me feel worse.

Whatever makes me feel positive always leads to a negative. My scales are never balanced.

Working on a task that I find interesting and that other people perceive as valuable that I have planned to do and am then capable of doing at the planned time.
