I wished that I could always be positive, but now that you mentioned why it became a problem, I see that the grass isn't always greener on the other side...

I hold it in and outwardly try to stay positive until I’m overwhelmed by it and a bunch of other things in my life Then It’ll really hit me.

the way I relate to this... I always bottle things inside until I can't anymore

I only manage to stay positive with my friends' support. Otherwise I would just wallow in sadness

I really depends on the situation

Trying to stay positive when bad things happen may backfire because usually it involves resisting any bad feelings you may feel and repress them, which will not do you any good and it may end up making things worse. In my experience, the most effective way to deal with bad moments is allowing yourself to fully feel whatever you may feel. Some time later, you may assess the situation. No situation is completely and utterly negative; the proverbial "half empty glass" vs "half full glass" is applicable. Once you are feeling better, it may be time to leave it in the past and look for the positive within the negative.

Depends on how bad I suppose

 

[shika]

it really depends on how bad the situation is. usually I don't care and move on without a negative or positive thought

 

[tai]

I've been told I'm a very pessimistic person, so no.

 

[Magician]

I really try to
I tell myself that it won't help me if I'm all negative and upset

 

[brekker]

no, I´m a born pessimist, but I try to adapt the outlook that everything is an experience and that if that happens to me next time, I will do better.
