Some people are genuinely kind and happy, though, a lot of people impute & project their own self state into the mix and are unable to see it.
I applaud the happy people, anything haters say is usually a reflection of themselves & not generally true of a genuinely  happy person.  :cheers:

I think being happy is the key to living. If you are happy now you will be even happier later.

Being content & joyful about that contentment regardless of situational changes - not being complacent, nor high, nor low  - is more what I’m referring to.

If your happy in an earthly way, you will also eventually be sad in an earthly way - and Vice versa.  I’m not talking about that.

Same. If you are happy in the moment you will be even happier when the moments get better.

i absolutely despise hearing "how's your day been?".

hear me out!

every time i hear that, i will answer with "fine." or "ok i guess."

ask me if i'm living the dream" and you're likely to get a "nope, i'm not casting any spells or having adventures, so i'd say i'm not living the dream at all."

see, the thing is...i really, really hate mundane day to day crap. i don't want to talk about the weather. i hate small talk. i hate sports. i hate talking about cars, about girls (especially since i'm into guys <_<), about work... what i like to talk about, is the unusual.

the latest science discoveries. philosophy. stories. interesting hobbies you've picked up. newness, even (and especially) if it's weird. i don't care if your new thing is wiccan rituals, for crying out loud, so long as its not about trying to convert me and simply discussing the background and culture of it. i love learning new things, and discussing them with you, and comparing them to other things i've learned about! the world is full of interesting things!

but, gods, please, don't bore me with small talk. you won't cheer me up. you'll simply get a roll of the eyes. tempt me with your stories, and encourage me to tell my own, and you will bring a sparkle to my eyes in a way no simple "hows your day going" ever will.

I was just pressing your buttons lol but seriously I'm not being so happy it is sickening. I'm just saying a general positivity about things. Most people are down and you can see it. If I show them that I am not down at least I am not adding to their downness.

No, spirit... that is a cry for help.  You need to press harder now more than ever.  Penetrate him with your love.  Show him everything will be okay.

i'll be blunt.

when i'm cashiering at the check out line, risking my health by dealing with hundreds of customers a day, many who aren't wearing their masks properly by covering their freaking nose along with their mouth, or gods forbid, trying to throw the medical condition excuse to avoid wearing anything at all, i don't want to hear thoughts and prayers, or how brave i am for working at this time, or how everything will get better soon, or positive thinking crap.

i want to hear about you shanking our local GOP (or any corrupt politician, i don't care what their party is, just pointing out the elephant in the room) politicians in the back.  that would make my day.:cujo: ...ok ok, that's probably not going to happen. so i'll settle for you voting them out of congress, or at least calling them and screaming in their ear to fucking raise the minimum wage, getting them to employ and support safety measures to get this pandemic under control, and stop putting money over people's safety.

the government is there to serve the people. the people are not there to serve the government. no amount of positive vibes are going to change the world. if they did we'd be running our power grid off positive thinking. it's hard work and action that get things done, and such things are spawned by necessity, generally caused by, you guessed it, discontent.

you may not like it, but right now, i'm looking at this virus and giggling madly at the chaos it's causing, even while i hate the damage it causes to innocent lives, because i know that this is going to ultimately lead to a massive upheaval for the better in the long run, even if people won't see much of the benefits for years to come. as it is, it's likely going to cause a serious discussion in universal basic income.

...sorry I had to, as this pops up in my head everytime I see this thread.

But in all seriousness. I am all for being positive. I just think it's not always possible to keep that mindset (at least for me). I feel there must be a balance in everything. Without negativity how can you know/feel what positivity is. Or would you even be able to appreciate positivity for what it is?

Beautiful thread by the way.

I live with an 85 yo man who has [undiagnosed] onset dementia. He asks the same question like 10 times in a 3-5 minute span and he's real moody and he has what I call obsessive compulsive personality disorder where it affects his ability to enjoy life because he's too focused on trivial mundane details and making everything perfect.

He complains about a lot of things but I try to get him to see 180° in a different way. He is slowly becoming more patient. He used to yell a lot more than he does now but I have gotten him to communicate a little more effectively by getting him to slow down for a second by not telling back and telling him to please communicate more effectively.

I used to be negative all the time so I understand the cycle. I appreciate people with empathy when I can.

@near Dylan, you were right man. Being nice is tiring. I straight up told everyone I worked with last night I'm done being nice and not to expect me to ask how their day is going anymore cos at this point me asking everyday like clockwork has pavlov's dog'd them so now they are expecting it and I could tell the tripped out faces when I didnt ask lol

Edit: I'm fairly certain me trying to be as positive past few months was me projecting. I am not ok. I think I'm trying to fool myself into thinking that I am.

At work I have real easy method of communicating if I'm feeling positive, or if I'm pissed off/just want to bust ass.  They are called headphones.  If they are in, fuck off unless it is an emergency, if they are out or only in one ear, i'm open for some inane chatter.
