    Eh, it comes and goes. I can be ridiculously positive, but then at other times I can be crushingly negative. Depends on my state of mind.

    I'm positive, but realistic at the same time. I just try to see the bright side of things and the good in people, because life is short.

    I stay positive because I am easily distracted and therefore forget about all the reasons there are for me to feel bad.

    I try to be. I used to have a major problem with negativity, and I seem to be getting better. My ups and downs are easier to deal with, and so is most stress.

    My work environment constantly challenges me, though. Many, many negative things there. But I am confident I won't end up like the worst people around the company.

    My fear is giving me a heck of a time being positive right now, but on the bright side (?) I seem to be overall still a happier, more positive person

    I'm a very positive person. It's my downfall sometimes. But I'm still positive!

    I think it safe to say that I am generally very positive about things. Which is somewhat surprising as after all, by my own terming my life so far has seen me trout on time, and time again by friends, family, random happenings and enemies.

    I'm a firm believer in not letting others win so when people are trying to bring me down I simply refuse to let them as if I do they win. It's a difficult challenge sometimes and there have been occasions where I've failed and the world around me has gotten me down. The good news is that I already know the lowest point I can reach and I'm incapable of going there again.

    I see life as a very fluid thing, sure things can always get worse but they can also always get better too and it's generally about being able to take the good and ride with it. Even on a trout day, there's a silver lining, even if that is "well things could always get worse".

    That being said I find it hard to display empathy for others. I'm not selfish or callous but if someone's life is going to trout I'm looking at them with the same expectation I set on myself which is through necessity "Well come on, do something about it for yourself. No one will wave a magic wand and fix this for you"

    I've not fixed all my problems, yet but I'm getting there.

    .... I'm good at staying/seeming positive on the outside. And a lot of times I can convince myself that it's genuine, but yeah. It's tough. Especially lately.
