What a good and useful thread, Fuzzy.
I think I'm being honest when I say that my family was negative. Oftentimes, very negative. I truly despised that way of living life. I got myself into therapy and into support groups when I was still a teen because I wanted to have a better and more positive perspective on life.
I'm thinking that being negative is a way of coping with anxiety. So I think I'll say that my journey toward mental health is to learn how to cope with anxiety so it doesn't cause me to be a negative and bitter woman. I wanted to live a more emotionally successful life.
One of my positive qualities...I genuinely enjoy listening to people. I'm not the best with giving advice, but I sure will be there for anyone who needs an ear and a hug.
