Atleast I don't mean depressed people, I mean the ones who always whine. If it's sunny outside and the birds are singing, they complain it's too hot. It's about the way you see the world. I have been a pessimistic whiner most of my life. The thing that I learnt during the way was that you gotta get rid of people who have the same behaviour pattern and start mingling with normal or happy people. I had a crappy childhood. I had even crappier teens! I hate myself for whining so I skip it. I couldn't change my attitude conciously, but I could do real alterations in my life that affected my mood. 1) Get rid of assholes that bring you down. 2) Start doing something about stuff that makes you unhappy. Not all of 'em at the same time, just start somewhere. 3) If you are depressed and not a whiner, you might get help from going to the shrink or taking some pill from a bottle. That's not a loser's way. Some people's neuroshit makes them unable to be happy, and that has to be fixed before anything else can be reached.

Now prove me you are not a total asshole and don't shoot down all my suggestions!

Your suggestions are all good, I'm basically an optimist, Believe it or not, but at my age (56) I expect some sign that I'll experience joy in my life, and I just don't see it coming; I'm having a tough time right now, lots of dissappointments both professionally and personally; you can't maintain an optimistic attitude if everything you try fails, but I keep trying; nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
