I’m being ignored today. Why is everyone so gloomy today?

[Anonymous]

At work today, it was a gloomy day and it was raining. Some people were into themselves and whatever. I said good morning to a couple of people and they just gave me short work answers.
One was like, “I’m okay I guess.” I asked, “Just okay? You should be blessed and happy you’re living.”
She snapped, “Well it isn’t a happy day for me! Sometimes people need a down day. So sick of this toxic positivity BS!” And she just walked off. Okay…. some kids didn’t say hi to me back when I greeted them. I’m not well liked much. I don’t know why. I smile a lot, greet everybody and encourage people to be positive and yeah. I can be stern and serious. These two twin girls didn’t bother to say good morning back and just ignored me. They almost never happy to see me. Whenever I come around, they frown and walk passed me and greeted some other staff back. That hurts so bad but I just keep it going.
I greeted our elderly coworker (in her late 60s). I asked how she’s doing and she didn’t respond. She rolled her eye, nodded, and walked passed me.
One of the teachers asked a student and he wanted to work with me and flat out said, “NO!” With an attitude. She said that wasn’t very nice. The student paused and said, “No thank you. I rather work with you.” She said okay much better. Man people didn’t like me today. Usually some people are happy to see me. Did I do something? Does my positivity bother them? I just wanna see them smile, cheerful and cover the negatives with positivity. One of my male coworkers told me I put too much positivity that it’s making things worse. That shocked me. Wow….😳

i've never had someone not say "i'm good" back in response to how are you. i'd be taken aback if someone actually told the truth and said "okay i guess" lol doesn't happen often

maybe it does have to do with the weather. I don't know. also, life just isn't too good right now in general. the economy is shit but no one is saying anything. also, she is probably going through something in her personal life that no one really knows about

not sure if it's you or them, considering everyone is acting the same way. either way, just keep being you and being positive. don't let them put the same energy on to you that they have on them

He said it was a gloomy day, Those always bring people down. I don't quite get the science behind it, but it's a fact gloomy weather makes people less happy. But everybody snapping at you. I don't fully understand. You must be an extra cheerful person and some people don't like extra happy people when they're not happy. It's nothing you did wrong and frankly I wouldn't change that. I wish I was more of a happy sunny personality.

I understand people go though things but ignoring my questions doesn’t help. I was hurt when people ignored me. Like what did I do? I’m not the most likes person in the company but I’m such a kind person that wants positivity. My friend told me I always look on the bright side

I agree people should not have ignored you, that was rude. I doubt you did anything wrong. Like I said sometimes when people are upset they get annoyed with happy people, they shouldn't. Keep looking at the bright side.

Thank you. I hope tomorrow is better. I know some didn’t hear me but my coworker could have said she wasn’t in the mood to talk. That would have been fine with me instead of ignoring me. I was ignored a lot today. I don’t if it’s my positivity and happiness annoys them.
