i think I'm a positive person. I'm an atheist so I don't believe in much besides science and the pursuit of happiness. So it's important to me to not be a downer for those around me. I want people to be happy. I also have crippling social anxiety but Xanax is the shit so we can skip that. I'm generally chatty with old friends and kind and at least say hello to new people in a group first. I introduce myself to new coworkers even if they look like Trump supporters - don't call me a saint.
I'm imperfect so I'm sure I slip up plenty but I think I'm a positive in my social circle. I get melancholy a lot. Life isn't always the best. I'm not a great son who calls his parents enough or has a great job and enough money. My ex was abusive. But there's just enough of a bright side to let the light in, so to speak.
I used to be a more negative person. Like that person a life coach would say to cut out. One of those people on the internet who says things like "I hate people" and maybe I get why I used to say it but I no longer see the benefit in saying that kind of thing. The way of acting like people are the worst if they're not your people.
These days, single and getting older, it just feels too good to be kind. To encourage your friends. That's joy and I think joy is the meaning of life.
But enough about me. Are you a positive or negative person in your social circle and why do you think that is?
This thread might be dumb but I'd love to hear how you all think you come off in your social circles and why you do so
