3 Signs You May Be Too Negative

Negativity can affect your life in many different ways. Your mental health can suffer, your physical health can suffer, and your social life can suffer. A life of misery may be awaiting you if you are too negative, as it can be hard to get out of that funk and into a life more positive.

There is being occasionally negative. This is when you complain a lot of the time but try not to do it everywhere and every minute. And then there is too negative. This is when your life is affected by your negativity and everything you do is affected by it.

Want to become more positive and find your happiness in life? The first step is to recognize all of the signs that you are not just negative in life, but you are really negative in life.

Here are 3 signs that you may be too negative.

1. You See The Flaw in Everything!

You say things like “This is stupid!” or “She is stupid” or “This will never work!” – and you say them loudly. Everything becomes stupid and dumb and you are quick to notice those obvious flaws in everything around you.

2. You voice your complaints to everyone. In fact, complain is really all you do.

If you are in a park, sitting on a bench with a stranger, with beautiful flowers around you, and people enjoying their day – you complain to the stranger about the noise the birds are making. Or maybe about how the park isn’t like it used to be. Very rarely do you say anything without complaining first.

Another common example is being quick to complain about how slow the line is to someone else, but you would never talk about how great the food is that you are going to eat when you get through the line.

3. You are quick to think the worst about everyone and talk about them negatively.

You judge people before you talk to them, and you judge them after you talk to them. You talk about people negatively to other people, and you are the first to spread a rumour you hear about someone.

If they are smoking you think they’re disgusting. If they are young you think they are dumb. If they are happy you think they are annoying. The only people you really like are the ones that listen to your complaining, and help perpetuate your complaining by complaining with you! Then again, you would be quick to talk about these people behind their backs as well.

These are just 3 signs of being too negative but they are quite common. You see many people doing this everyday and, whether they are aware of it or not, they are affecting their health. Are you one of them?
