Surrounded by negative people is common in life, and it teaches the lesson to learn to shut the ears to the comments before they drive a person completely crazy.

Negative people are the pessimists of the world. Their thought process always leads to the wrong side. They always remain busy in assuming everything will not only go wrong but spectacularly so.

Negative people think they’re the smartest people as compared to other individuals. By predicting tragedy at every turn, they consider themselves to be realists, nothing more. They believe they’re the only ones who see the ultimate truth: that life is hard and full of disappointment, so better not expect too much or anything too positive, that’s for the naïve. They start to think that to think positive is useless.

Life is full of challenges, hardships. and disappointments. Eventually, something will go wrong and you’ll have to try again or give up on chasing one thing and go for something else entirely. Failure, after all, is part of life.

Negativity, however, works for a lot of people because as they embrace it, there’s no way they make a wrong prediction.

When you fail, the negative person gets to say, “I told you so.” When you succeed, their preferred tune changes to, “Careful, it might still go wrong.” And as soon as you experience a single hiccup on your journey, guess who’s right there to gloat?

Negative people hardly ever try anything, and when they do, it’s a half-hearted attempt at best. Their desire to be right about the hard nature of life often triumphs over any wish to achieve. The first thing they see in front of them are the obstacles, reasons why it all can go wrong, justifications to not even try.

The truth is that negative people are afraid. They’re afraid of not knowing how to get up again after a fall. They’re afraid they won’t know how to hold on to success if they achieve it, but most of all, they’re afraid to behave as ridiculously as they perceive the “wide-eyed,” naïve optimists to be.

Pessimistic people have often been hurt before. Life has given them serious blows, and they have either never recovered, or not recovered completely. They have become bruised and scarred, and even though their pain has taught them a lot, it didn’t teach them how to let go of fear while keeping all other lessons.

So they believe optimistic people can only keep a positive attitude because they haven’t been through enough hardship. They believe positive people still have a lot of painful lessons to learn, otherwise, they’d see life for what it is, and share the same negative view of the world.

Don't be so negative, mostly due to the influence of those who are surrounded by you. Everyone has a viewpoint, so try to think that everyone sees just like you see things and try to tackle your mentality if it goes towards the negative side.

Life is hard, and chances of success are slim. Anything that is minimally good is too good to be true. Anyone would be stupid to believe it gets better.

So negativity of a person becomes his or her a manifestation of insecurities. It reflects how much a person is afraid of failing, of not being good enough heck, of not being enough, period.

Most people are negative because they sprung from resentment: of people who are doing better than a person is despite not being particularly more talented, of life situations and privileges. It makes a person certainly envied.

Life is passing day by day, and a person should stop being negative and try to be an optimist, let's change, and don't show insecurity by showing the negative side.

By observing, it is noticed that negative people are found everywhere, pointing out everything that can go wrong with an enterprise, and I see so clearly how it reveals all of their insecurities and resentments.

How the most negative people are so clearly not obtaining the results they wanted, but instead of looking inward and working harder, are pointing their fingers at everything that bothers them. They look at the optimists, at those who are focused on their work, and accuse them of not deserving what they have, and of being blind to how thin the ice beneath their feet is.

Sure, nothing in life is certain, but if you walk as if the ice is about to break beneath your feet, you’ll take uncertain steps and won’t go very far. Meanwhile, those who walk with confidence eventually secure their footing enough to pick up speed and run.
