Yep, totally agree. Like I mentioned before, I feel like there is a difference between pointing out the flaws in something or someone for a very good reason in order to prevent something bad from happening, such as being used or something else going wrong, and just being a debbie downer in general because someone just likes to complain. I know the difference, I think even though people may say it is negativity, I think pointing out the flaws in something for a very good reason is actually considered being realistic, even though to others it may be considered being a debbie downer.
