Do people listen more to negativity than positivity?

[MementoMori777]

Over the years I've been on here I have noticed a lot of people prefer listening to the negativity over the positivity, they will toss aside all the positivity and eat up all the negativity, they would take a insult to heart over a compliment, obviously I don't mean everyone but why is this? 🤔

[petitedollbabee]

Online I don’t, since people can hide behind a screen and say whatever they want, usually without consequences. But in person, yes I do. If it’s said to my face or someone close to me talks negatively about me, then I take it to heart most of the time.

Interesting, that is an interesting way of thinking indeed 🤔

Yes they do. I heard this thing that said "tell a woman that she's skinny a thousand times and she'll never believe it, but tell her she's fat and she'll never forget. Because elephants never forget" XD

[MementoMori777]

Why does that sound so accurate tho? I know there's truth to it cause you call a woman fat and they believe it, the amount of women that I've heard call themselves fat because someone else told them that even tho they aren't is unbelievable lol

[hiyamotherfers]

it is true. They just made it funny

[MementoMori777]

Not sure why. Some people just like negativity I guess. Not me though I'm all about positivity and kindness even if it's just something small. 😊

I feel if they are someone that's thrives on negativity, they will always listen to the negative more.

[MementoMori777]

That's a fair point anon 🤔
