this may be a little of topic but...

hey guys i know this has nothiugn much to do with tips on poems and stuff. but how to people have such a positive outlook on life. for e.g i find it easier to belive the bad than to belive the good. other peopl will be shocked to hear bad news? am i crazy? why am i so negative ?!?!?

It a lot of cases, the bad is easier to relate to. People who have a positive outlook on life are just raised that way. I, for example, have been depressed for a good portion of my life, but I was also raised in a very stressful atmosphere. My mother has been on anti-depressents most of her life. On the bright side though, since I have moved out and am leading my own life, I have been happier. So basically, what I am trying to say is that atmosphere has a lot to do with, and training your own mind. I regret to say it, but now and then I bask in my depression, it is easier to think and ignore the world that way. But I also have trained my mind to say, you know what, I DON'T CARE. I will not let it bother me, and I will move on. Although it usually it isn't that easy. Understand?... or am I just rambling....

i think i get it

Its personality. My sister is so naturally happy she could rid all depression from the world if she spread it evenly among all people, I tend to be more pessimistic than positive, but I think its because reality is most often negative.

Just different personalities, but I would rather be me than my sister, shes like a psycho on speed.
