Hi Pineapple......Wow What a downer. I refer to many people as beautiful. Especially friends. I will call them and say hey beautiful how are you today. Whether hey are beautiful inside or outside or both, that is what I see. And don't you know it makes their day! There is nothing wrong with being positive.
Obviously there are situations in our lives or others that are not positive and we need to face reality!
But... it is very sad to see that someone looks for the bad or sad before they see the good!
Sorry sweetie, I do not know what you call that condition, but it is not healthy you are right.
Good luck, I hope you can help your friend realize they have an unhealthy attitude.
