Negativity is an easy thing to fall into and it's something that I've been dealing with for awhile. People seem to relate better to negative outlooks rather than positive. I notice that if I have a good day the conversations are very short, but if I have a bad day the conversation lasts longer. If someone says they are feeling great, there is inevitably that wow, really? This reminded me of a journal entry I did earlier this year. Most people said that they weren't as interested reading about good days. I don't understand why, but I guess it's boring.
Negativity is contagious and can spread faster that a flu. Some people are more susceptible than others, but it can take its toll on many people.
It does take time to get positive outlook on things. I would prefer to be happy for myself and if it catches on then great. If not, it's not my problem. Being negative and unhappy is very unhealthy. The typical, "What are you so happy about?" comments are generally heard when I'm positive in a generally negative environment. Misery likes company. However, a smile is also contagious too.
Complaining is a waste of time, but most people would be lost without it. That's how life goes I suppose.
