Each day is so special in our lives. Do you want to be around negative people or positive people? Personally, chose to be around people that lift me up, not pull me down. Life is hard enough without being around negative “stuff’ all the time. Like to be around people that give me space to enjoy my life. People who are always putting demands on you and your time, that is not fun. If you want to succeed in life, be a POSITIVE PERSON!!! Always find something good to say, laugh a lot, and basically just be fun to be around. Don’t burden people with ALL your problems and pains. Don’t harp on your bad boss, don’t complain about your back problems…hey, everyone has pains and it is not going to change things by complaining about them. Bottomline, always see the glass as half-full not half empty!
Answer:

Answer:
i so like this post! :) it keeps me smile and revived, reminding me that i am not alone who wants to be with people who are positive! true, we all have our own share of miseries at times. But, dwelling on them would not be very healthy for ourselves and the people around us.I would want to help those who are sad, but i avoid those who are full of hatred, noisy and rude people or simply those who don't have anything good to say. so who are the people i so like to be with? people who know how to count their blessings. :)

Answer:
Oooooo I love to be around people who make me laugh! People who are witty and have a wondeful sense of humor. Also people who enjoy good music and good times - maybe even a road trip. I tend to make the best memories from those experiences with family and friends. Also I think that is why we love our pets so much. I know mine make me laugh and they do enjoy a good tune! :)) I too don't enjoy being around people who are negative a lot of the time. I accidently spent time with someone like this the other night. I say "accidently" because I haven't known her very long. She showed me who she was last night. Although I kindly listened to her I felt she was a most intolerant person who wanted to tell me how I should live my life. Gee whiz! I was quite happy before she came on the scene. She was so busy telling me what I needed to do to improve my life and even my afterlife from her perspective she didn't take the time to see that I was already happy and didn't need her input ... or perhaps I should say patronization. I didn't ask her for an evaluation ...I asked her for a friendship initially. She went on to tout herself as an example of a godly creature and then gossiped a bit about others we know in common. Yikes! Well, after listening to her and taking it all in I have decided to let that one go. She proved to me what kind of a person she is and will be if I continue to hang around her as a friend - poison. Her need for control and her intolerance of other's lives or lifestyles seemed to dictate the show - I typically drop a friendship that takes that course ...like a hot potato!!! Yow! She made me appreciate my family and the wonderful friendships I share all of which continue to influence me in the positive in this life. :)
Answer:
I want to be around those with enthusiasm. I can excuse any flaw in a person if they have that; I think it is the greatest trait.
Answer:
here's the thing we all are surrounded by people that reflect different aspects of ourselves. We want to be around those that reflect the things we like and try to run from the things we don't..... by making peace with myself, I am constantly surrounded by people that reflect that same peace etc....xx
Answer:
Very interesting comments...laughter is the spice of life...and being at peace with yourself and others, that is what it is all about...
Answer:
I don't really have a preference when it comes to people. Some people are naturally happy, while some are more negative and cynical. I just accept them for whom they are. I have friends that are positive around me while being negative and rude around others. I think my point is that you get what you give. You can avoid a lot of negativity by being the one to initiate positivity. Of course, there will always be people that hate you no matter what, but I feel no obligation to hang around them, and therefor have no reason to be positive or friendly towards them. We can't all be friends. We all favor someone over someone else.
Answer:
Very good post Thrax...totally agree my good friend...But, if I've a choice, and like yourself, many of my friends are negative and you take them for what they are...having said that, if I'm going to play golf with someone for 4 hours, would rather play with my positive friends that like to laugh and have a good time....who had rather drink beer with, fun people or those that are ******** about everything...you deal with, but we have our rathers!
Answer:
Yay for positiveness =]
Answer:
If I was golfing - which I don't do - I'd rather have an ill tempered friend along who was a bad looser. More fun that way... lol
Answer:
Thrax, you are hoot.....
Answer:
I want to be around positive people because I believe in being positive even when it is easier to be negative. I believe that every obstacle that is put in our way is there for a reason and it is up to the individual to find out why.
Answer:
I'd like to be around people who I have a lot in common with. They should be really fun, but not crazy. I like to be the shy friend, I just suit that role. Lately I've always had to be the outgoing go-getter because all my friends are getting more... boring. I love to be around people who really like me, maybe even admire me and always make me feel good about myself. I also love friends with talents. I love singers and artists like myself who can be creative. I also like generous friends, because I'm not generous at all. I'd really love a best friend with all of those qualities, that would be ideal.
Answer:
that is so true! Nobody needs someone that always pull you down around. The thing that i enjoy the most is to make people laugh. I really love it and i can say that all my true friends are like that. I love to help people, and i also believe in Karma. The important thing is to help people and make the world a better place.
Answer:
I like being with positive people because they are not demanded on what they want people to do with peoples lives. The thing that piss me off in my life is negative people because they always try to bring people down with them and just criticize everyone just to make there sick self look good. Then they try discourage and pressure people who are shy or someone with a disorder just because they want people to be like them or just trying to get attention. Then they try to attack and convince someone if there are not agreeing with them. Then the worst thing that I hate about them is having phone or computer chat with with a negative person who would like to have a unimportant conversation for like hours and the worst of all is on a school day or a busy day. Then if your keep ignoring them they will always try to attack everyones self esteem. Then when you try to say bye to them, they'll try saying something like "why" or "Don't hang up now." Like its a conversation that is important to them. You know negative people have always been destroying my self esteem and making my shyness even worst than before. So I'll rather have positive people rather than those nasty negative people in my life and try to stay away from them.
