We encounter many different types of people in our lives. We have friends, family, acquaintances, and complete strangers. When someone encounters you, what do they think? What type of vibe do you give off? That vibe is formed by attitude. They say that attitude is everything, but how aware should we be of our attitudes?
Attitude can be used for a variety of positive things and a variety of negative things. There are times where we should lack having a big attitude as well as building up an attitude. An attitude contributes to your actions, and sense of emotion. We just need to learn how to control of attitudes in order to be successful in communicating with others, and understanding what we want in life. There are many different types of attitude that everyone should be aware of.
Number One: Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is that type of attitude you want to have when meeting someone new, or sitting through a job interview. Having a positive attitude contributes to a positive mood. If you feel good, other people can sense that. A positive attitude can be identified through a genuine smile or tone of voice immediately (even smiles over the phone). Do not let a rude or negative person put out your positive attitude. A real positive attitude does not let outside circumstances control it.
Number Two: Negative Attitude
A negative attitude is that pessimistic person that always has a problem. When you ask how this person is doing, they reply with “okay I guess," “not that great," or any response that implies there is a problem in their lives. They always see the problem in the good situation. They make you feel their negative energy, and it feels like a drag trying to converse with them. Negative attitudes are irritating to deal with.
Number Three: Nasty Attitude
A nasty attitude is the person that says rude things, and angers people. Nasty attitudes speak volumes without words at times. Nasty attitudes consist of eyerolls, hissy-fits, and flipping out on people for no reason. No one wants to be associated with such a brat like person. Why would you want someone to perceive you as a jerk?
Number Four: Arrogant Attitude
An arrogant attitude is the person with the disgusting ego. The arrogant attitude boosts a person’s self esteem to an extreme measure. They believe that they are better than everyone else, and are all about themselves. This makes people not want to be around you, and it is irritating. These type of people need to learn how to be humble.
Number Five: Confident Attitude
A confident attitude is an attitude you need to have in order to achieve your goals. A confident attitude knows when to be humble, but also when to boost themselves. Confidence is essential to being successful, and people will respect you for it. Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance. Arrogance is an overdose of confidence. Confidence is having pride in yourself.
Are you in control of your attitudes?
