You know, that's a tough one. I dated a girl for about 4 months. She was perhaps one of the most positive , negative people I've ever met. She seemed to always have a positive view on things, yet at the same time was always complaining too.

It just became more and more annoying... almost to the point where I was glad she was moving away.

Ugh, I had a co-worker like this. So negative all the time. The others made snide comments to shut her up.

No I don't want a Debbie Downer.

Negativity is so soul-sucking...omg...I can't take it.

Why the hell would someone be so stupid as to waste the precious time they have on this planet whining about things and letting other people control their emotions so much?

It's effin' irritating.

So irritating I dumped Harvard-trained PhD ex-model over it.

This guy I am talking about is nothing like the girl you dated for four months. He complains about everything and is very negative about things.
For example, he's complain about his superviser being micromanaging things, he complains about his parents for calling too much, he complains about his ex girlfriend who never showed him her true color. Everything.

but other qualities he has are good though. I tried to ask him to be a little bit positive, he said "I am mad at God too." How can you reason with somebody like that.

I'd have been gone just like I probably would have dumped that girl earlier had she not already been moving away.

Geez folks! People do go through down times ya know? Not everybody is a machine covered with smiley face stickers. Maybe this guy is just questioning things right now. And you know we aren't living in the most upbeat times as a society either. Lot's of people are on edge right now.

Yeah, all the more reason to not bring everyone else down with their negativity

You can't control the world or other people, but you can ALWAYS control your attitude towards it.
I have seen people with their second or third round of cancer smile, be upbeat, and still be trying to help other people.
THAT I respect and admire.

These whiney piney idjits who get peeved because someone cut them off in traffic and they have to cry about it to everyone they see...eff that.

Shouldn't you be more positive about these "idjits"?
Yeah but if this guy is saying that he's mad at God then obviously he's going through something deeper than that.

I'm positive that I prefer to stay away from that negativity and bad vibe situation.

Maybe he's depressed. Maybe not. Some people are just wired like that. Ugh.
