Is it okay to be always positive?

Question

I am always positive about anything that happens. Is it normal?

lalaloveee · Accepted Answer

It depends. If you focus on the positive just to avoid seeing the negative, then you will always be a ignorance.

But if you're using negativity as fuel to force yourself to be better and stay positive, then ignorance become wisdom.

I don't see a problem with that alone, unless you're also being naive too... then I would say you should take care

DaveJord · Answer

Sure, it's okay to be positive. But there is such a thing as toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is when you mask your true feelings with over whelming positive talk. So instead of dealing with disappointment or failure in a healthy way you mask your true feelings and assume a positive outlook. You can also be toxic with your positivity when you dismiss other people feelings and by telling them things like, it's a blessing in disguise, or your better off without it, or chin up, or it's not as bad as you think.

So, I am a strong believer in positive thought, but do not do it at the expense of your true feelings... that is to say it's okay to take a minute and be upset or disappointed. Where and if you cross the line, it really dependent on your own boundaries.

It's immoral to harm others, so it's good that youd don't. But it's also immoral to not defend life when needed, so it's really impossible to interpret being "always positive". If you're commanded by the government to murder an innocent person, does being always positive mean you do as you're told?

Paulalove98 · Answer

Nope. It’s good to think optimistic and see the bright side of a negative situation, I am pretty positive myself for the most even when something hasn’t turned out well, sometimes I tend to worry a lot and dwell over things but keeping your head up with a positive attitude helps your mental state and overall health, I think people with negativity won’t go far.

We'll, my wife is kinda like that quite a bit and I view it as a super power at this point since she can as well rationalize decisions.

everything is ok to a degree, it's better than being negative. Balanced consideration is ideal with positive mindset.

mobiusforniner · Answer

Yes. I realize, in general, people will disappoint me. Use me. Find ways to take advantage of me. I realize, life itself is supremely indifferent to our existence.

But I stay optimistic. I assume the best in others. Because it brings out the best in me.

Berethor · Answer

How dare you be always positive? you should find goth kids and drink coffee with them. :)

tfan1 · Answer

Very unusual but excellent that you have such a positive attitude and outlook towards life. 👍🙂. I’m usually over cautious

bowenw · Answer

It's okay but unusual for someone to always be that way, e. g. during a tragic event.

Cassie88 · Answer

That's wonderful. I wish I were like that! :'( Don't worry about whether or not it's "normal".

TenderFantasy · Answer

I think for me at least, it's better to be realistic with things. Maybe Positively realistic? This is an interesting question.

SaoirseS · Answer

Yes, it's fine, but it's not a good idea to be so Pollyanna-ish about life that you ignore problems or negatives around you.

CateM · Answer

It's good to generally be optimistic, but it's ok to feel sad or angry sometimes. Toxic positivity is real

Bricealan · Answer

I wish I had your personality, and could always take a positive view when things are dark. Good for you, you are an exceptional person.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I think it's fine. Better to be positive then negative. I'm kind of like you. Not 100% of the time, but I always like to think the outcome will be positive.

If you are positive about everything you probably don't understand the situation

NathanDavis · Answer

inkyvampire · Answer

Positive or optimistic? If you have a grasp on reality, it’s fine I feel.

I'm the same way.  It's okay I'm naturally more optimistic in my disposition.

SnowedIn · Answer

Okay? Absolutely! It's a bit less common, but it is a wonderful trait to have.

It may be perceived as being nice but it's also very naive and frequently inappropriate unfortunately

ChiTown33 · Answer

Yeah, unless that is HIV positive. That's probably the exception.  Are you positive?😂

Minahh · Answer

I mean being always positive is toxic. It's okay to be sad, angry whatever. Feel the emotion and let it go.

Hardworkingguy · Answer

Being positive is a great quality so if you're able to be that way most of the time I really envy you

AydenHazor · Answer

I wouldn't say it's normal, in that the majority of people aren't, but it's a good way to be

LiamJHayden · Answer

Yes, although as you know sometimes others will get annoyed by it.

Dreamclouds · Answer

Yes it is very good, most people are negative and society even pushes us in that direction. Don't ever get brainwashed and be negative.

PatriceONeal · Answer

No lmao It isn't normal but is is nice to have people like that around. As long as you aren't ignoring negative emotion that effects you, simply to appease others.

TallAnon · Answer

You're not, just look at your recent complaints about trolls for example.  But in general, you feel how you feel and you can't change that, so feelings are always valid.
