I don’t think you’re negative, Jesse. I think you’re a whiny, attention-seeking, boring asshole. ---

It’s not “negativity” to note that you really are a whiny, pathetic loser who will never know happiness or success in life because of his shitty attitude. It’s just the truth. ---

Everyone’s life has good and bad stuff in it; you can choose to focus on the good stuff, or you can choose to focus on the bad stuff. Take a guess as to which path makes you happier (and more fun to be around). ---

For the benefit of the OP, a genuine Russian proverb (from RUSSIA! How about THAT?): _When three people tell you you’re drunk, lie down._ ---

If people are telling you’re too negative, what they mean is you’re not interesting. People can handle a grouch as long as they try to make their rants funny and as long as they aren’t a one-note johnny. If you need someone to listen to you whine and complain, hire a therapist. Otherwise, try to give everyone around you a break. ---

BTW, in case anyone hasn’t been following the OP’s shtick, this is exactly what he’s looking for. There’s really no other explanation of his posting history - he gets dumped on in every thread he’s started, and he keeps posting, so that’s what he’s looking for. Still, it’s amusing to heap abuse from time to time, myself included. ---
