How do you respond to negative posts?

You know, those who are seemingly determined to just be an ‘Eeyore’ and live their life under that dark cloud hanging over their heads...
Do you call them out on the negativity? Do you try to pump their esteem levels up a bit? Or do you just ignore them...?

It depends. For instance, I suffer bipolar so there are weeks where I seem more negative, but I'm not determined to be that way. My brain chemicals just get weird sometimes. However, there were certain posts I would ignore. I try my best to help everybody and make them feel better because I know what it is like to be down. Then there are people who just seem like they are doing it for attention or idk it comes off fake maybe? Those are the ones I ignore.

@ChiyoSKL I would agree, each one needs a different approach. (and hey, I’ve never noticed you to be negative- just sayin’)
