Are you a cheerful person?

Do you have the kind of bouyant personality that always comes out on top no matter what happens? If so, do you think it has made a lot of difference in the way life has treated you? Please share...

I always approach every situation with humour. If a situation is so bad that you can't find a reason to laugh then things are REALLY BAD. Most people respond really well to it and find themselves cheered by my laughter, but others misunderstand it and think my laughter means I am not taking things serious. I laugh a lot more if I'm nervous as well, which sometimes confuses people. The first driving licence I had I'm sure my instructor thought I was mad because I kept giggling. He knows now that it's just nervous energy bubbling up. I always find it really horrible if I'm in a stressful situation and people are getting angered or frustrated with things, it always makes me feel stressed and it doesn't tend to help them either.

Yes, sometimes people can mistake cheerfulness for childishness, immaturity, "unseriousness." But I guess that is their problem, right?

Hi friend I understood one thing very early and very clearly, approach a situation with humor, you have a chance to win over even if you fail to win over at least you won't hurt your health. In many professional situations, a smiling attitude helped a lot. In family life too this helped a lot.

I would like to think that I can be a cheerful person in most cases. It is not always easy but I like to keep my attitude upbeat. My problem comes in when there is negative people around me that seem that they want every one else to be that way. It is good to steer clear from those with a bad attitude so it won't bring us down. A good attitude is a very beneficial thing to have in life. You can have better success in life.
