I like inspirational posters and quotes they always seem to make me look at things positively. There are also the other kind of quotes, poster passed around on phone apps and facebook which are negative in nature. I just ignore these. There is someone close to me who always passes out supposedly funny stuff about blonds /women etc.. Today she has sent a picture saying "Don't depend on anyone, even your shadow leaves you when you are in the dark".. it did draw some smiles from others but to me its depressing. I just don't like reading negative stuff t.. There is already enough negativity around in life without adding these on.. Are you okay with negative stuff?

I always try to find the neutral angle to the life :p but it's not easy being neutral. sometimes feels bad for things that are bad. so i prefer inspirational stuff.

Its better to read positive messages but then I what I can't control...other people's posts ,I ignore. More than ever I keep realizing as I grow I need to make my self stronger from within.

As much as possible, I want to get away from negativity so I avoid those movies, books and videos or any thing that will depress and make me sad as much as possible. This world is already filled with so much bad news so why would I add up more depressing stuffs on my mind. It is better to dwell on the positive side of life.

I used to get affected by negativity when I was a lot younger .. But as i grow older and see the negative side of ageing, I am learning to embrace the negative .. Negative is part of the balance of the cycle of life ..That quote is true .. though it's sad that, I don't find depressing.. What I find depressing in this life is the evilness that seems to be thriving ... and the fact that to fight evil, it means to kill ... that to me is very depressing ..

Things of a positive nature are more my style.

It tends to get old after a while, but I am okay with it if it is not a steady stream.

No... I don't like negative stuff like that... I saw a very negative one on facebook the other day...I think it's sad...as to me it often says a lot about how the person who posted it is feeling emotionally...

I understand completely and I don't enjoy hearing people swear over and over again about simple things like spilled milk. I know someone that does that all day long, but not in public. I get so tired of hearing it, but I can't get them to see how it's affecting their quality of living. When I see or read things like that I tend to share something uplifting that will turn the tables, but many don't want to hear uplifting ideas.

I avoid negativity . I even fight any sign of being lonely , though for a while i would allow it and cry to my hearts content , then after that , i feel okay and do something that can make me happy already .

This is not a negative one. This is how one should be in life. If you go on depend on others then you will face problem in life.
