Good job getting out there and doing it!

I have a feeling your poor friend ended up so sick and in the hospital over a guy due to more issues than just being positive. It's rather extreme and unfortunate what happened to her but I don't think you can say that's how positive people end up. That's rather extreme reaction. And is just this individual person. I've never met people who react this way and I know many people in many different situations. It is not common thing

I don't think trusting your guts is being negative. I personally wouldn't share with others that I am going on a date. I don't want people to advice me. In fact I never share unless I am seriously involved. I don't want to be influenced in my decisions. So ignore others. Do what feels right

I agree with Rose that self help books and therapy although are helpful can't compete with real life. Good luck!!!
