I know when I start thinking about all the crap that makes me seem like a bad person it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. "Well I already suck at this, this and this so why bother?" or I project negative before its happend: "I will never find love because I suck and do not deserve it" well, if that is what you project and think then your own natural reaction will be to make that come true. I am not saying positivity cures all but as an ex -catastrophic, negative thinker I can tell you that its easy to fall prey to our own worst selves.

That kind of attitude is what I hate the most. Being positive isn't going to help save humanity from climate change, or disease, or society failing. At the rate we're going, humans will be extinct in the next hundred years, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that, I've done research and I know what I'm talking about. But all anyone else cares about is "being positive" to make themselves feel better so they can sleep at night, while ignoring reality. I'm not a pessimist, I'm realistic. I approach all of life scientifically, with facts. And it is because of those facts that I believe the things that I do. Maybe you said what you did with the intent to prove me wrong, but you've done the opposite.
