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!!!

I didn't say she ended up there simply from being positive. I said she was delusionally positive. As in she was delusional. She still is...it is pretty universally recognized. There is a difference. So someone who is delusional comparing her "positivity" to my attitude/reactions to situations and calling me negative doesn't sit well with me.
This is why I said I didn't feel I was being heard by you, and this is also why I think that it's unfair when some people separate a person's reactions into starkly positive and negative...because that isn't real life. People, like life, are not black and white.
