define negative.
i notice when i discuss factual realities, they get labeled as 'negative' and when people spout delusional nonsense that has no basis in reality, they think it is 'being positive'.
I mean, do you think there are good and positive things in the world. If yes, do you occasionally talk about them? Assuming those factual realities are negative, is it the only thing you talk about? Can you see a positive thing without associating it with, then tying it to a negative? Seems like you're being obtuse about the point the user is making or trying to soap box something idk.
No. everything has benefits and costs. nothing is purely positive or negative.
plus people have different perspectives. what i find positive for myself, others see as a negative thing about me. Like I am proud of how I grew up, others often use my background to dismiss and mock me and think it makes me a horrible human being.
I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying.
No, I do. I just think it's too simple of a viewpoint.
Then you literally don't lmao
