Am I Really A Negative Person?

Listen to the song that is above...why? I don't know I guess it's good background music. Anyways, do you consider yourself a negative person? Or maybe you wonder why individuals be so negative in the first place. Throughout this article I will be discussing such things.

Complainers

Negative people seem to complain a lot. It's as if nothing can go right in their life, so they complain and lash out at others. It's crazy cause usually they blame others, when in reality they are the reason for their misfortune. They rarely look back and say "Hmmm maybe I did this to myself."

Comfort Zone

Negative people seem like they never want to move outside their comfort zone. In order to improve and stay in tune with the world around you, you must get out your "bubble" and explore. These negative people are doomed to dwell in their own sorrow, rather than changing it. These types of people also love using the word 'but'. The word 'but' is a definite turning point, turning something from positive to something negative.

Haters

Have you noticed that most negative people are haters in their own right. They always have something bad to say, no matter what someone does they have to find something bad. You always see them in the YouTube comment section. They come unto a random video just to hate on the person. Obviously cause their life isn't like that person, so they feel the need to bash them. It's quite sad if you ask me, but that's my feelings.

Energy Drainers

I feel as though they take all the energy out of a room. As soon as they enter the room, the tone changes to something worse than what it was. Have you ever have had great news, and then that certain person spins it to make it bad news.

Once again listen to the track above, and stop the previous track if you haven't. I don't know why, it just fits with the moment, or maybe I'm just on a Charlie Puth marathon....ANYWAYS just go with it...

In Conclusion, for those that deal with negative folks on a day to day basis, try to separate yourself from these people. They will do nothing but cause a downward spiral in your life. And if you are the one that is negative, try to find the positive in life. I know life can be hard, it's really tough, but you must keep moving forward. As I always say you think positive, you get positive results, you think negative...You know the rest.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
