New dude (I suppose happy guy knows him well though) butts in and totally contradicts the positive mood and says the opposite of what I said. For petes sake, all I said was it was nice weather. He was dressed down to shorts, short sleeve shirt, no cap, shaved head. Says its cold out when I said it was nice. Put some clothes on!
I was mad for awhile after. I kept arguing with myself that I was right. If he wants to be a downer and doesnt even prepare for the day, why should I get upset? Dammit, Ive been down for years. Why is it wrong to be happy?

I know how you feel. I try to ignore those negative people, especially when I am having a good day but sometimes it is a struggle. A single drop of negativity can ruin an entire positive day. It is never wrong to be happy but not enough of us truly are. Remember Misery really does love company.
