I Have a Question

Is Optimism really good enough to force into someone's negativity?馃

@Unicorn, I do the same for others.It is contagious somehow.Some people including me are so anxious to realize the bright side whatever happens to them. When it comes to me..I have to force myself to think positive.
Negative or overly cautious approach leads all my thoughts toward the unhappiness for the things that will never happen.
@Pickle, That's true. Protecting ourselves is more likely in my case.
@Calmsoul, Of course, noone should force anyone to follow their ways. :)
@Haniazed, That's the only way for positive people to connect with negative people.
@geekoo, I could be your friend :D When I try to think positive, I feel like I am not true to myself and become more insecure.
@cloudi,I don't push others but myself! Support me as always LOL

Actually optimism is not something u can do willingly. some people are born to be optimistic, some are just pessimist all time. I got such friends.A friend of mine generally thinks so pessimistic, he cant stop it how hard he tries.

I'm not sure... I try to be optimistic when someone's being negative but I don't know if it actually gets through.

It seems like negativity is more powerful than positivity. Maybe the mind is just wired that way.

Optimism is good but it's a different matter if you're pushing your thoughts to someone else and hoping they would changed their mind because of it. I think it would be best if we more of a supporter to others 馃榿
May be a little empathy before optimism...

Negativity often stems from past disappointment.
Be as frustrated as you like.
When dealing with others who feel this way, it's often their way of protecting themselves.

if one is optimistic than one doesn't needs to force himself/herself into anyones negativity .. optimism is like magnet that attracts happiness and positive vibrations

No I don't think so, the best one can do is comfort and reassure someone,forcing levity on someone who is unhappy can only make things worse or even feel patronized.
I believe that negativity is a choice like having a bad attitude. I suppose your optimism could wear off on that person but you can't force it upon them.

Okay, Autumn! I will support you as well! 馃槡
