Blue_Knight 1,542 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I do. Sometimes, I want to indulge in my anger or misery. I know I shouldn't, but that's how I relieve my stress. When I have episodes of depression, I read depressing poetry, listen to depressing songs, watch depressing movies. It's kind of convoluted, but knowing that somewhere out there, another person feels the way that I do and when something can convey exactly what I feel, it lifts up my mood. And then my depression goes away. Same with anger. When I'm angry, I like to rant. I know it's wrong, but how am I supposed to deal with shitty people in my life? Just accept that they're shitty people and move on? That doesn't sit well with me. Anyway, having said that, I hate positive people sometimes because they rain on my parade. Can't I be angry or depressed or anything in between without them telling me to "be grateful/blessed", "look at the bright side" bla bla bla. I feel like (overly) positive people have the tendency to just accept whatever life gives them. If your government is shitty and you have abusive people everywhere, they just accept it and they just try to "look at the bright side." I just... don't agree. If something is blatantly wrong, I'm not gonna accept it just because that's how it is. I'm going to keep ranting until you realize it's wrong and it's not something that is supposed to be normal.

rich witch 20,592 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 i think it depends on the situation for me. when it comes down to bigger issues like racism, politics etc where i love to rant, i don't like it when people tell me to just "forget it and be happy". when it comes down to my mood, like you i love being in my own mood but i do appreciate when someone comes out of their way to cheer me up even if that's not what i need atm.

Princess Yelena 98 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Sometimes. I have friend who is laughing all the time, laughing at me, laughing at people around, or just laughing. I refuse to walk with her, because she thinks all guys are checking on her, and then she has that extreme cheery ugly behavior. She's ugly and has bad breath.

shocking blue 7,514 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Ehh no. Yeah, it's frustrating when people are ignorant to issues or ignorant about how depression/mental illness works and tell you to "just cheer up, life is wonderful" etc etc. If they are privileged or ignorant on political/environmental/etc issues, I would either attempt to educate or just not engage with them/not want to be around them. But I don't hate people for being overly positive and would not equate ignorance with positivity. Some of the most outwardly positive people are broken inside. And a lot have good intentions, I can't hate on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a lot have good intentions, I can't hate on that. Yeah, I agree.But sometimes, their intentions don't come out as good as they want it to. Like, recently, I talked to this positive person about what she would tell a depressed person if she had the chance and she kept rambling about "looking at the bright side" and "think of all the people that are going to hurt" and "don't focus on yourself. Think of other people and be grateful for what you have. A lot of people have it worse than you." I've figured arguing was futile. She's not gonna realize that everything she said are only going to add up to the reasons why depressed people want to die and that she will only ever understand if she had experienced it first hand. Also, I don't hate generally positive people. My friends are all optimistic persons and I like how they affect me. I hate those overly positive chirpy people who can't understand some situations and that their positivity doesn't work all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayleyllujah 10 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Kinda. Because some of them lacks judgments when it comes to taking risks or making decisions and just hopes for the best, not knowing that their action might lead to more losses than gains. Kinda.

Violymph 96 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 No. It's kind of amazing how they stay positive even through hard times and being around them can bring my spirit up, too. But I get where you're coming from, it can get annoying whenever you try to vent/rant about your day when they're on positive mode. I just end up talking about my problems to other people if they're too much to handle at that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digiwon 5,843 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I'd rather be with overly positive and cheery people than negative people who finds easy to hate and complain any day, any time. And positive ppl dislike to be next to negative people too from all I know so its not hard to stay away from them so idk why complain about it tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex068 853 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 uhhh idk about you but all the people who are "overly positive" in my life always know how to listen, be empathetic and comforting when somebody is having a hard time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeachyKeys! 599 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 No. Also, don't ask for opinions or advice on things you're experiencing from people who have zero experience in those things. Most people can't help you through something they can't understand. Don't set yourself up to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayenne 4,552 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 no ppl who geniounly try to radiate positivy are precious, just overly fake nice/ cute people are annoying cause you know they are just doing it to get some benefit and not truly to do smth positive and I don't like people who are cheerfull and force everyone else around them being like that aswell and think just cause someone is quiet smth is wrong with them or they are unhappy also I don't think happy people just accept everything that comes their way, they just try to deal in another way with it as in maybe doing smth productively to try to improve the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ideonsshi 936 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Depends. I don't hate people who will cheer me up in my sadness, because I know how much these people care about me, but I hate people who'll ignore my problems and brush them off with "keep calm".

jazzyfay 7 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I like and enjoy people who are like that (as long as they keep their voice down to an acceptable level). Someone has to be positive to make up for my negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
