Negative thought forms manifest

I've noticed recently an influx in negative types of discussions. It's not that I have any issues with people asking for help, getting advise, or things of that nature. What I am speaking of are those types of threads are complaint discussions such as "Why does someone else's thread look like mine", "Someone is not following the rules of Mylot", "My life is miserable", and so forth. These types of threads are negative thought forms, and negative thought forms do manifest into reality.
So, what occurs is that someone starts to think that these things are occuring, even if they are not, and sooner or later they begin to manifest. Negative thought forms can do a great deal of damage to one's life. It goes along with principles taught in many metaphysical circles, Like attracts Like. The universe does not know that you do not want that thought, it just sees the thought and sends it. So, when you say "I don't want my car to break down" all of the time, your car suddenly begins to have lots of maintenance issues. The same is true on social sites such as this.
The solution? I personally feel the best solution is to avoid having negative thought forms, or I do not entertain them. It seems more productive to focus on the positives in life, and on here such as "Wow, that was a really great post", or "Hey, this is like that other thread and I hadn't even thought of this idea. Wonderful". Or even "Wow, that person put a lot of time into that thread". I think when we do this we'll find things much more enjoyable because we begin to attract those types of thoughts in the universe. Our positive thoughts begin to manifest.
And this goes beyond just on here, though that was my purpose in writing this, it goes into the real world. How many times have we said "With friends like that who needs enemies" and found ourselves staring at people we can't stand? Negative thought forms. Or how many times have we said "We just never have enough money to do things with", and found that we really have no money to do things with? It's a definate change in perspective and switch in conciousness but it can be done.
What is your experience with negative thought forms? How did you deal with them?

I'm in that very situation with my marriage. You are right. Thinking negatively just feeds more negativity. That doesn't mean don't express your concerns. Bottling things up is never good either. But it does mean that if you want something taken positively, you need to be careful about how you present it.

Dawn-
I'm sorry about your situation. Yes, I agree I wasn't saying people shouldn't speak about things. Life happens, and we should be in the present moment. It doesn't mean we'll be without issues. It does mean that we begin to change our perspective and become aware of what our thoughts are doing, and what they become if we give them life. As said, Like attracts Like, and the more people complain about useless threads, pointless ideas, like threads, and the what not-the more they appear.
In my own life I've been working on stopping thought forms that could be potentially damaging. It started with how I viewed paying bills. Instead of focusing on "Oh, I don't know if we'll have enough" I greet each payday with "I love that I have enough for everything I need" and every time I have an abundance. As my husband friend is always saying "Think abundance. Be abundant".

Example - a lot of the husband's reactions seem to come from him thinking "she doesn't care about me". This causes him to blow up and say and do stupid things. Which really does make it harder for me to care about him. So we're in some kind of a negative feedback loop here and we really need to find a way to communicate more positively. I avoid conflict, so it's hard for me to speak up about things that bother me when I know it's going to hurt his feelings. We both let things go instead of speaking up, actually. So we need to find positive ways of communicating better instead of negative ones.

Dawn-
You are getting at some great points in terms of communicating.Thought forms are in the hands of the person having the thoughts. So, what we must do as individuals is begin to change the thoughts we are having to see them manifest in the real world.
An idea for your situation would be to focus on thoughts such as having great conversations with your husband, or hearing him say something nice in return instead. Sometimes if we focus on things like "I wish he'd stop laying a guilt trip", the universe hears that and doesn't know the difference so he continues with the guilt trips.

Having been diagnosed as clinically depressive, anxiety disorder and stressed I guess that I have had some experience of negative thoughts - but almost exclusively about myself and my behaviour. That's why I no longer have the career that I spent 31 years building. However, I have discovered that by recognising that there are usually more positives than negatives in our lives I am well on the way to turning my life around. I think that it is very easy for some to slip into negativity - I suspect that many of us are on here and similar sites simply because this is an easier way of dealing with life than getting out and confronting it. That said, the support of the group actually helps to focus and challenge our belief in ourselves. I openly encourage people to tell me when I am getting maudlin and they do. Works for me anyway.

I definately think that group work can help, especially if you have surrounded yourself with those individuals that help you create positive thought forms, and free yourself from the negative trappings. I wish you continued well on your journey. Namaste-Anora

That's very true, but I often need to find some comfort from people when ever I am down. Certainly people never cure my sadness because that is my choice but in the rare occasions it makes a difference when that one person understands the feelings of sadness with you. I think it's important to focus on the positive all the time, but we shouldn't ignore the negatives because it still happens. But certainly, just like the Secret, law of attraction, one needs to focus on the good to get the good not the bad to get the good.

Lore-
You've definately understood the "Like attracts Like". If we take a look at thoughts though as "thought forms", we're saying just that. People who have negative thoughts all of the time manifest (or make appear into the real world) those very negative thoughts.
