Remember the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all"? I know you are all familiar with that phrase. Last week I was trying to come up with future blog topics, and as I was reading the news and scrolling through social media, I was hit by how much negativity there is out there. It seems you can't go anywhere these days without being surrounded by negativity and criticism. I almost feel like no one is happy anymore. No matter what article I read, if I look at the comments, it's mostly criticism of the author, subject matter, style, or any number of things. If you watch reality competition shows, it's mostly criticism and negative comments towards competitors. Morning talk shows the next day criticize everything. Awards shows criticize the way people dress. Tabloid mags and TV shows criticize celebrities' every move and word.
"News shows" don't just give you news anymore--they give their opinion on every piece. At school teachers complain in the lunchroom, students complain in class. No matter where you are, people criticize the way you act, what you wear, things you say. Yikes. It seems like everyone these days has an opinion, and it is mainly a negative one. No wonder issues like depression are so severe right now. Gosh, is anyone happy these days? Does anyone appreciate anything about life? Can anyone just keep their comments to themselves? I myself have learned to be very restrained in my comments. I don't want to offend anyone, and if you know me, one of the biggest things I believe in is not judging others. Unless my comment is a positive one, I usually keep my opinions to myself. As a parent, I am trying to make sure that at the very least, my children grow up to be accepting of others, rather than judgmental and critical. I don't want to perpetuate all of this negativity.Your generation doesn't know any different either. With all of the media you are surrounded by, you can't escape it. It's a shame. The media really does send mixed messages too. We know the message about treating people with respect and dignity, but we see adults and the media doing something different. It really does seem that in the last fifteen years, the media's message has gotten a lot more critical. People have to have pretty thick skin these days to avoid being influenced by all the negativity. So my question to you this week is, How negative are you? On a scale of one to ten, how negative do you think you are? Are you just a miserable grouch or are you semi-pleasant? How do you handle all of the negative messages that you are bombarded with every day? Have you ever personally been affected by negative comments online or on social media? How easily can/do you shrug it all off? Are you more of a complainer or do you look for the good in the situation? BE HONEST. Reflect for a second on what you say and think every day. What message do you hear on social media--a positive one or mainly negative? What are your thoughts? Have a great week.
I would say that I am a 1. Most of the time you see me I am a really happy fun person. I handle negative comments well for the most part. I usually just shrug any negative comments off because if someone is making fun of me than that means they are insecure and if I don't them why should I care what they say about me. I have always looked for the postive things even in bad situations I try to always stay positive.

DeleteI think that I am a 2/10. I try to be as understanding as I can be, and I try to realize that everyone is different in their own special way. I brush off the negative comments that I hear each day. I feel as if it is best to just ignore them and not spread them or help them grow into something bigger. I haven't been affected much by negative comments because I surround myself with caring people who respect me as much as I respect them. Most of the time its pretty easy for me to shrug negative comments off, but depending on the comment it can be hard at times, especially if it is about me or someone that I care about. I do my best to look at the good side of everything, but we all need to complain and "let it all out" at times. It can be therapeutic when the negativity starts to build up. I feel like everyone is taking politics way too seriously on social media and that it is very hard for people to enjoy the good part of any situation. People feel like they need drama for the negativity to keep their lives interesting. The best way to stop this negativity in our lives is by simply doing what we can to spread positivity. We need to stop addressing all of the bad in everything and find the good instead.

DeleteI would say that I am a 3/10. As much as I would like to say that I am a 1/10, I am not. I am not perfect and nobody is perfect. I try my best to be as positive as possible and to spread positivity, but sometimes I have bad days like the rest of us and can be negative at times. I would say that almost all of the time I keep any negative comments to myself and spread positivity. I hear negative comments about me sometimes and they can honestly sting a bit. There is no other way than to embrace who you are, and brush the comments off your shoulder. Not everyone will like you even if you do nothing wrong to them. It is just human nature, so I just try and understand that. I would say I am a very optimistic person and always look for the good in the situations at hand. Social media contributes to such negative actions and it is horrific. I hate social media sometimes because people always have negative things to say or comment and it is so easy for them to do so because they are hidden behind a screen. Everyone needs to just spread a little positivity, as it goes a long way.

DeleteI always try my best to be positive around others and make them happy. Sometimes when i'm having a bad day I can have a negative or pessimistic mood. I do agree that not everyone is perfect and sometimes there not going to be extremly positive. What can help is that if someone is upset about something and another person sees that and tries to cheer them up by being positive it can go a long way. we are humans were not always going to be in a good mood or have a good day that is normal. It actually helps us appreciate when we do have good days. Appreciation is also very important because even when things are not going your way you still have people and things you appreciate and love in your life.

DeleteI think that on a scale from 1-10, I would be a 3/10. With most things, I try to be a positive person with a overall positive outlook on life. Of course no one is perfect and can not be positive 100% of the time. Whenever coming across negative messages/people, I usually try my best to not get too worked up and calmly try to resolve the problems I face. I usually do shrug things off when it comes to online negativity.Online things really do not phase/effect me. Even though I do complain a lot, I try to look on the bright side of things and say it could be worse. I usually am a little dramatic so I just try to not complain as much. Social media has a lot of positive effects and negative effects. A lot of people like to share their opinions online whether it be an opinion on a person, and idea or a place.Sometimes the internet can be so toxic and whenever it is people should handle it good and calm. I think that positivity can go a long way and its always good to keep a positive outlook.
ReplyDeleteIf I am being completely honest I would give myself a 3/10. I never like to be in a bad mood but everyone has those days where nothing seems to go right. I will always try to keep my head up but sometimes the bad days can get to me. Overall I would say I have a pretty positive attitude and I am generally kind and pleasant towards everyone. I would never let a bad day effect how I treat someone. I will always treat people with kindness and respect. In my life I have been faced with some negative comments and the best way to deal with it is to not let them bother you and most importantly believe in yourself and let those people motivate you to do even better. I have found that most negative people I have met are not happy, so why should I dwell on it.In a situation I try and look towards the positive side. It makes it more easy and fun to get done and helps to not focus on the bad. Overall on social media especially looking at famous people, there is mainly negativity.I think it is very sad to see others bringing down successful people. I can do my part by staying positive to myself and always treating others kindly.

DeleteI'd say on a scale of 1-10 I am a 1 because I am a pretty positive person and the only time I'm really ever negative is if something bad happens to me or someone/something I care about. I have pretty thick skin so if someone decides to come after me about something I prefer to turn right around and ignore it or jokingly come right back at them because I don't like to let things bother me . When it comes to me handling negative energy I gust tend to ignore it and let it roll off my back.I guess I tend to be a lucky person since most of my daily interactions tend to be overwhelmingly positive.
ReplyDeleteI would say on a scale of 1-10 I am a 3. I feel like I try my best to be positive about things but sometimes that can be hard to do. When I hear negative comments or remarks I either try to just ignore them or change the topic to something more positive. I know that I don't like to listen to people complain so I try my best not to. If someone says something negative about me it might affect me for a few seconds but then I just brush it off and try to forget it. Social media is pretty negative for the most part as well but there are some things that can be very positive and nice to hear too. Although we can all be negative at times, I think we should all work on being more positive because it is a much better feeling it would make more people happy.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I am about a 3 on a scale of 1-10. I think that I try to be positive about most things but sometimes I am negative. When I hear negative comments I try to ignore them and not think about them because I know that they don't really matter. Most of the time I can shrug it off because I know that it is not important but sometimes that can be hard to do. I do complain a lot but at the end of the day I know that complaining won't change anything. I think that social media is mostly negative in general but if you search for positive things you can find them.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1 -10 I would say I am a 6. I am not a grouch I just feel negativity is a part of being human. God created us with emotions of guilt, shame, jealously, and many others that make us negative feel and think negatively about ourselves and the world. It is just how it is. I know some people have a more positive outlook on life and everything for that matter but other people tend to see things more realistically. I tend to be the latter. Negative message never seem to affect me and it is because I couldn't care any less about how other people think about me. Everyone will have there own opinions about you and if you care about those opinions of others you are wasting your time. Why should you feel insignificant or feel as if you need to change because of the opinions of another person. If someone doesn't like you or something about you that isn't your problem, it is theirs. The only opinion you should listen to is your own. I shrug stuff off pretty easily because as I said before I don’t care about minor words that don’t physically affect me. I wouldn’t say I complain or have a positive outlook I would say I roll with the punches. I just allow myself to go along with anything good or bad that happens throughout my day. On social media I don’t tend to see more negative or more positive stuff and even if I did it is social media, you shouldn’t be taking it seriously unless you know it is fact. On an everyday basis I tend to have more negative thoughts but I doesn’t mean I don’t have positive thoughts it is just that once you have a single negative thought about something it is easy to get caught in a negative train of thought. All it takes is one bad thought about yourself or about life to create a negative train of thought in your head.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would say that I'm about a 3 in negativity. I always try my best to stay positive in situations, but depending on what they are, that can be hard sometimes and I can give into the bad. When I see or hear negative comments I attempt to either change the topic or shine a positive light on the subject. I personally have never been affected by negative comments online, but I have definitely witnessed other people be hurt by what others are saying. If someone were to say something negative to me, I would just shrug it off. This is easy for me because if someone is saying something bad, I know that they may be insecure or that what they're saying just isn't important. If I am in a situation I don't like or feel uncomfortable in, I will 100% complain about it. Of course I know that complaining won't change anything or help me, but it is just what I always do. There definitely is a negative and positive side to social media. I think it's a great way to share, learn, and communicate with other people, if used correctly. But, people can often hide behind their screen, which can cause some negativity.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10 I am about a 3. I would never post something negative on social media. If someone sent something negative to I usually do not respond to it and try to not let it bother me. Sometimes, negative comments bother me and I ask for advice from my family and my friends. If I were to respond to the negative comments, I would reply by asking them to stop sending negative comments because you never know how that person will react to the message.

DeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would put myself at around a 1-2. I am mostly always happy, even when I am in a bad mood I can still recognize how lucky I am compared to others hardships. I guess because I've grown up only hearing bad news on the news and such, I suppose I am desensitized towards it because it is just what I expect.I have never really experienced anything negative on social media towards me, or at least that was hurtful enough for me to remember. I do like to complain a lot, I don't think that has anything to do with my mood though, I just complain. Everyday recently I hear about politics all the time and I am just tired of it. Overall I don't think social media affects my mood too much because i'm just built different.
ReplyDeleteOut of 1-10 I am probably a 2, I try to be a positive person, I try to not be mean to anyone or hurt their feelings. Sometimes though, I am negative. Usually it would be when I am gossiping about others or complaining about situations in my head or to others. I try to just focus on the better things in life than the worse things. Personally, I've never been affected by negative comments online and if the comments were directed at me, I would just shrug them off and keep my thoughts to myself or speak out about it. In my opinion social media is a great way to learn and communicate with friends and family and see what is happening in their life and to learn about news around the world, so it can be positive, but it can definitely be negative. I see lots of negative videos on social media about others and whether it is a news network or people just stirring the pot to make people get angry at each other. So, in that case it can be negative, but I think it can also be positive. I think we can deal without a lot of the bullying and negativity on the internet, but that is just how the world is I guess,
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1 to 10 I'd say I am a 4. I feel like I am placed somewhere in the middle of the scale. I never try to be a complete pessimist, however I'm definitely not a ray of sunshine. Ever since I've started high school, I've tried to change my ways about how critical and negative I can be at times. I know that things won't always go my way or I won't be pleased with the outcomes of certain situations, but I try my hardest to stay positive about it and focus on the good. Even though I do actively try to be positive and not too negative all the time, it's very hard to do so with how our society is set up. Everyone today is always voicing their opinions and if you don't agree with them then you're automatically wrong and people jump down your throat. I never let these opinions get under my skin or make me upset becuase honestly I'm used to it at this point and I'm aware that others will always put in their opinions. A big life lesson I've learned is that you can't let the little things in life bother you, sometimes you've got to roll with what life throws at you. This has always been hard for me since I'm so strict and used to my ways, but I know that if I get upset or worked up over tiny things like that then I'll never be able to get through the day. On the other hand, I defintely do have my dramatic moments where I feel like the odds are stacked against me with everything I do. Those situations always leave me feeling so defeated and that anything I do will eventually not work out. However, I just try to keep my head held high and work with what I've got and not complain about it.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I am probably a 2. I rarely ever go on social media platforms because I have never really gotten into it or really cared about it. Inevitably, I will see negative comments and I just try to avoid them because they have no real meaning. Many people like to say hateful things through their phone but would almost never say it to anybody in real life so I never let that bother me. I don't really remember ever being personally affected by any online negativity because I truly just don't care about social media. If I every do find myself caught up in negativity online I can shrug it off really easily because I've learned you can't let little things stop your from focusing on what is really important. I try to look at the good in every thing and put everything in perspective. Some people can get really hung up on what others think or what social media has trained people to think but I always say, in 10 years will any of that matter. Almost always, the answer to that is no! I keep my head high no matter what is throw at me and focus on achieving my goals no matter what and a big part of that process, is staying off of social media because it can tear you apart if you let it.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10, I'd say that I am a 2. Personally I find negativity highly annoying, especially when someone is constantly criticizing or leaving negative comments. I usually just ignore whatever people have to say and what they think because it puts people in a bad mood. There really isn’t any good reason why someone should be negative towards others. All negativity does is hurt the mental health of others. It makes them think negative thoughts and think less of themselves. Negativity is the reason why I don’t use social media. It’s for the most part a toxic environment that’s full of negative people who put others down. This is what causes young people to feel depressed or feel like they need to say negative things to feel better. In my opinion, it’s best to just keep things to yourself.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10, one being the lowest, I would rate myself a 4/10 on negativity. I gave myself a 4 because I am positive and I like to be positive but I am not always nice and positive to myself. I am positive towards others and I always support them. When I see negative comments I just ignore them and don't let them bother me. If I let them bother me then I would spend all my time worrying that "maybe people don't like me" or "why does she think I'm annoying." I don't let that bother me. I always try to look for the good in a situation but sometimes I cant find it. I try to be positive and I want to be less negative and some day give myself a 1/10.
ReplyDelete-Alexandra Hodge
On a scale from 1-10 I would give myself a 3. For the most part I'm a very positive and optimistic person and I don't really let many things get to me. Another way to explain it is I'm more of a glass half full person rather than a glass half empty type of person. I always try to look on the brighter side of situations rather than completely focusing on the negative things that come in life. Most of the time I'm a pleasant person, however if something really irks me I wouldn't say I'm the most pleasant and sometimes let my anger get the best of me. When it comes to social media I tend to keep my personal life more to myself or I only post things that my super close friends can see. However, when I am faced with negative comments I tend to just laugh it off or ignore it and I don't really let it get to me. Most of the time the comments are jokes anyways so I'll try to joke back and make myself seem as unfazed as possible because I've learned that reacting to something will just give someone the satisfaction they want. When I am put in these situations I also try to keep the comments people make to myself instead of making a big scene and complaining about them. At the end of the day, the comments that people make don't matter, and should never matter.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10 I would give myself a 3 because I am usually positive and I always try to look for the good. I think that there is always someone you won't please so why not do what makes you happy instead of trying to please everyone. I feel that negativity and criticism are so common that I am used to hearing it and seeing it. I don't focus on it for long because it can weigh you down. I am pretty good about shrugging it off pretty quick. I always try to look for the good in a situation until that becomes a habit. Just by doing that, I have become a lot happier and optimistic. You shouldn't worry about what other people tell you to be, just be yourself and you will be happy.
ReplyDeleteOn scale from 1-10 with one being not negative and 10 being negative, I think I’m probably a 2 or 3. I see myself as a pleasant person who is generally happy and gets along well with others. As for handling negativity, I tend to just ignore it. If it doesn’t directly affect me I don’t see it as my problem or something that I need to worry about. In the aspect of social media, I dealt with negativity all the time. I used to run an Instagram account with thousands of followers. Most of them were kind, but some were not so nice and weren’t afraid to share what they thought. I used to really let it bother me and get to me, but as time went on I learned to just delete hateful comments or block them from my page and it made social media a positive and enjoyable experience for me. I definitely think it has taught me a lot. I definitely think I tend to complain more than see the good in situations, but it is something I’m trying to work on and better myself at.

DeleteON a scale from 1 to 10 with one being not negative and 10 being negative I would say I am like a 2. I am not a negative person,I am a very postive person I am always a very pleasant person and I rarely ever will comment something negative because it hurts people feelings. I feel I am a pretty happy and pleasant person and I would say I get along very postively and well with others. I am always looking for the brigh side of the things. About handling the negativity,all you can really do is not let it get to me because that's all I can really do. I just try to not look at the negativity online. If the negativity does not affect me direcly or concern me I try not to let it get to me and try and be postive any way I can. I have never really gotten a lot of hate on social media because I genrally try not to post about opinions or other things that could be thought of as negative. I try to keep my social media platofrm a really postive and nice place. I got hate once and all I did was just shrug it off becasue I know those things are not true and they were saying that becasue they wanted to hurt my feelings but you can't let it. I am more of a person who looks for the good in the situation. I try to be postive about everything because if you aren't where will that get you.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 i would say i am a 3, because most things i take in a positive way. if i know something will not work out or i will be negative. I am rarely rude and negative and always tries to look on the bright side of things. I always give people the benefit of the doubt until there is a reason to be negative. I have a good outlook on what life has to offer and situations.On social media i convey a positive message and try to not get involved with negative posts and comments. When negative things are said to me mostly i just shrug it off because if that is how someone wants to live their life they can. Sometimes i see people being so negative to people who just want to have fun. I think it is crazy how people can be like that.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10, I would say I am a 3 or a 4. I always try to be the most optimistic I can be because I feel like if you act happy and treat others kindly, it reflects onto their attitude and makes them happier as well. Sometimes though, I can be pessimistic about things because I am a very bad overthinker and I get in my head about things extremely easily and sometimes it's hard to stay positive. I never have reflected my negativity towards others deliberatly though, especially on social media. I was always taught that whatever you decide to post or comment, will be there forever, even if you think you deleted it. I was also taught to see the good in people, and that even if someone posts something bad, they probably have something going on in their personal lives they aren't happy with and they decided to take it out on a random person. Even though that's not the smartest choice, you have to have enough confidence in yourself to not let things get to you that easy because it will make you overwhelmed and miserable. I just wish people would try to keep negativity out of social media because you never know what people are going through and unfortunately, you never know if your comment could be a breaking point for someone and that would be a terrible thing.

DeleteI think that on a scale of 1-10 I am a 3. I try to be as positive as I can, but sometimes I can be a little negative. In that case, I would say I am semi-pleasant. I treat everyone how I would want to be treated even if they aren’t the nicest to me. I try not to reflect on the negative things people say to me and try to move on so it wouldn’t affect me. I have never been affected by negative comments first handedly, but I have been told through someone else. I am pretty good at not letting it affect me and shrugging it off because I don’t like to hold grudges. Most of the time I do complain even though I try to look for the good in the situation.Social media is mostly negative and not a very safe place. Although, there are a lot of positive things in social media. With a positive thing, someone has something negative to say about it. That makes me upset because I don’t understand how someone can be so mean or negative towards someone or something.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a negative person, maybe about a 5 or a 6 (with 1 being the most positive, 10 being the most negative). As someone who tends to see everything that could go wrong (despite my best efforts to look for positives) the negativity in the media really just piles on top of me, making me feel even worse about myself. I've never been personally criticized on the internet, but it also hurts when no one gives you any positive feedback as well. I can shrug this off easier than when confronted with an upfront negative comment, but I'm a pretty sensitive person. I really do try to look for a positive, but I more often than not fall into complaining about things, simply because its easier. This is why I try to avoid extremely negative things in media (not to the point where I ignore the negative and only focus on the positive, because you have to acknowledge your faults to get better), so it doesn't all compound until I end up breaking. I think that there really is a positive in everything, its just harder to see because being negative or showing all the bad parts of something is so much easier.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10 i would like to think i am around a 2. i think i am a very happy person and i try to be as nice to people as possible. although i do know i can have some unpleasant comments, I try for the most part to keep them to myself. i have never been affected by negative comments and if i do see it easy i just dont care. and i would say i normally see more positive things on social media than i do negative things.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of one to ten I think I am about 1 because I always look for the best in people. I have always lived by "If you don't have something nice to say then don't say it at all." I always have a positive attitude and try my best to bring people up. There are some days when I do feel negative but I try my best to not take out the negativity on someone else.On social media I see mostly positive things more than negative.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I think I am a 3. I am usually a very positive and happy person but I have some days where I am just not as happy. I always try to look for the good in everyone and I am always trying to lift people up. When I see negative comments, I always try to brush them to the side and I don't really think about them. I don't understand how someone could be so mean and put those things out on social media. I think that there are many positives but also many negatives. I am always thinking about the positive and do things that make me happy like hanging out with friends or family.
ReplyDeleteI think in general on a scale from 1-10 I'm around a 3 when it comes to being a negative person. I'm a pretty happy person so it takes a lot to make me look at things negatively. I handle negative messages pretty well, I don't really let things bother me and if they do I tend to keep it to myself. Personally, I've never dealt with any negative comments on social media but I see them every single day when I scroll through my feed. If I were to receive negative comments I would obviously get upset but I try not to let things bother me and ruin what might have been a good day. On social media, I see a mix of both positive and negative messages. I agree with the statement that people tend to make anything positive negative so it is sad to constantly be seeing that.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of one to ten I am going to be honest and say that I am around a 5. I try to find the good in people and situations but I am not very good at it. I find it much easier to find the negatives and not like situations or people in general then to give things a chance and try to find the good. I handle negative comments by not really caring about them. If I am hit with a negative comment by someone I don't know or I am not really friends with I just brush it away and don't care because I probably have done the same thing to that person and I probably don't really care for that person too much I they are making negative comments about me. I am mostly a complainer. I have been trying lately to find the good in situations but since I was about 12 I have always found myself look at the bad instead of the good. I am always trying to improve myself and trying to put a positive spin on thing because I do have the negative side of the world even if I am negative.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm probably a 4-5 on a scale of negativity. I wish I could say a lower number and its something that I'm working on but it is difficult for me to stay positive a good amount of the time. I don't necessarily get negative comments from others on a daily basis, but when I do they really affect me. I try to forget about them but they're always in the back of my mind. I probably give myself negative comments the most. That is something that tends to ruin my days but like I said, I'm working on it. I also tend to find the negative aspects of things right away, as I think a lot of other people do too, especially on social media. No matter what platform, there is almost always at least 1 negative comment on every post. I see this on Twitter and Instagram the most, commonly on famous people's posts. No matter what it could be, there is always someone that has an issue with it. I'm sure it is really hard to be an influencer or public figure these days with the variety of ways to receive negative comments and criticism.
ReplyDeleteLucas McDowell
ReplyDeleteI feel like my negativity changes depending on the day. Some days I’m fully positive where some days i feel like nothing will go right. Overall on a scale of 1-10 id say its about 2-3. I think I can find excuses for situations to be negative but when I’m in a good mood nothing can bring me down. I would say im more semi pleasant. As far as negative comments I just ignore them. Nothing really effects me like that so no need to worry about it. I know whats important to me an I always focus on that first. Ive never been affected because I know what the result will be at the end of the day. I shrug things off very easily. Normally I’m a complainer unless I’m in a really positive mood. I mainly hear positive things and most of the negative things are just jokes with my friends.
On a level of negativity, I would say I'm about a 3. I deal with negativity by surrounding myself with the people I care about. My friends and family just make me instantly happier. I know that there is a ton of negativity displayed online, but I find it unnecessary and try to keep my distance from it. Sometimes I feel like people complain as a way to start a conversation, they might say "School sucks today" or "I wish I didn't have to go to work". I use to even find myself doing this with friends, but now I trained my brain to try and look for a silver lining in every situation. Depending on what you view online, social media can be either inspirational/positive or dramatic/pessimistic.
ReplyDeleteI think that on a scale of negativity, I am around 2-3, but somedays I can be a 1, and some I can be a 4. I like to think of myself as more of a semi pleasant person, and I don't want people looking at me and saying, "O he is so negative". I like to try to stay positive even in the hardest situations. I try to just not focus on the negative messages that I recieve everyday. I try to avoid them, because when they get to me, they can really make me rethink a decision that I made that other people might not like. Sometimes I am able to just look off or blow off a negative comment, but then there are others that really do get to me. These are the ones that affect me the most because they deal with something important to me. Some comments I can just shrug off, but other comments I have to think hardly about, and sometimes they stay with me throughout the day, which can ruin my day depending in the severity of the comment. I tend to complain about things that I don't want to do, but usually I will try to look at the positive side even if I really don't want to do it, although I do complain sometimes too. On social media, I usually see a lot of negativity towards people, or things people have done. I find it hard definiently for someone like a professional sports player, because when they mess up, that is all you see on social media. Al people make mistakes, but those are the things you see on social media, because people find it funny. I think everyone should start being more positive to people, and look on the bright side of situations.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10, I would say I am around a 2 or 3. I am a relatively happy person and I try my best to not let negativity into my life. When it comes to negative messages I try not to let it alter my emotions or action. Although it can be challenging to just shrug it off, I find that worrying too much over what others think about you is a waste of time and will just end up ruining your day.The only thing that really matters is how you feel about yourself.This is easier said than done and I will still have times where I am mad about something and I let it get to me. There is so much negativity especially on social media, which is hard to avoid when you post something for the whole world to see. It's really sad to see how easy it for some people to bring others down and I really wish that wasn't the case. I think that finding people and things that make you happy is the best way to overcome this negativity in the world.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1 to 10, in negativity, I am a 2. I am more positive than I am negative. I’ve tried to stay optimistic throughout life and look at situations from a positive standpoint. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t found myself feeling down or bitter but, I tend to look at life from a positive point of view instead of dwelling on things that are out of my control. I try to keep my negativity to a minimum because I would only be hurting myself. I am not personally bombarded with hate and negative comments every day because I choose to lightly use social media, however, I see how harsh words can affect influencers or celebrities on social media. Today, it is normalized to receive good with the bad as a person with a large following. I don’t think it’s fair that people are criticized for being open and themselves online. It is easy to get caught up in the crossfires in comment sections but it is important to be careful with what you’re putting out there. You never know what someone is dealing with behind a fake smile. This is all the more reason why you should be kind and try to spread positivity online to filter out the hate.

On a scale of 1-10 I would consider myself a 2. I think of myself as a fairly positive person. I try to just ignore negative comments, because I don't think they are worth stressing about. I think we have all been affected by messages and whenever I am I always just ignore it and focus on the positives in life. I personally can shrug of negative comments fairly easily, since it is online I find it less personal. Although I can understand that if these negative messages are constant they can begin to be more and more difficult to shrug off. In situations where I have an opportunity I always try to look in a positive way, mainly remembering that the situation could always be worse. I think social media is mainly filled with negative comments, everywhere you look you can find them about anything. I think it is important to not get involved in the negativity that takes place on social media.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most negative, I am a 4 or 5. I tend to look at the worst possible outcome, whether that is about an outcome to a test or presenting a project. I mostly see myself negatively in the aspect of messing up or not being perfect. I overthink everything I do, which adds to the negativity. However, I always try to remain positive when it is easy. I am always positive and kind to other people and to myself when I am not stressed or overthinking everything. I find that I complain more when I am negative. I try my best to not be annoying, especially around other people. I tell myself that it is not a huge deal and that there are more important things to worry or complain about. Sometimes thinking this is difficult to achieve, but I try my best. I tend to take negativity from others as well as I possibly can. I am easily able to shrug off negative comments, regardless of who says it. My biggest critic is myself, not negative opinions. Therefore, I am able to easily move past someone else's negative opinion because I only listen to my own. I have not received negativity online. Recently, I have decided to use social media less than I have in the past because of how negative and toxic it can be. I do see negative comments while looking through social media when I am on it. Negativity seems to be inevitable right now. Every social media outlet has some form of negativity from people who can hide behind a screen. They see their comments as being okay because they are simply stating their opinions. However, these opinions can be extremely hurtful towards others. Whenever I see these types of comments, I think “why is that necessary?” I see it as every person is trying their best and there is no need to comment in a criticizing tone that may end up hurting someone. We do not know how others handle receiving comments, so why is there negativity towards other people?
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would say that I am a 3 when it comes to negativity. I don't think i'm that negative of a person but I definitely have moments where I can be negative and have negative thoughts in certain situations or scenarios. At times I let negative things on social media or the news get to me but I'm usually pretty good about tuning it out. I've never personally been faced with negative comments towards me on social media but I do know people who have. I feel like I usually tune out negative comments in general pretty well though. When it comes to complaining,it depends what the situation is, usually when it comes to school I'm a complainer but in most situations I try to think optimistically. I feel like just about every social media platform portrays a negative message. News channels only discuss the problems of the world and rarely ever show anything positive.

DeleteOn a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give myself a 3 or 4 out of 10. Most days, I feel as though I’m not very negative, while other days it can differ. It may take a lot of effort to push off those negative thoughts, but in the end the effort is worth it. Social media in all forms presents an onset of negativity, so we are constantly seeing it. This can be hard to deal with, and sometimes it gets to you. We’re only human after all. Even if the comments are not directed towards me, they can still hurt, knowing that someone else is going to be more affected than I. Because of the magnitude of the internet, we are exposed to any and all perspectives on many things. We, in our hearts, may feel one thing, but everyone tells us to feel another way. Peer pressure may seem harmless but it’s a monster in disguise. I try to look for the good in situations, but sometimes you need to be real about stuff, even if it requires being the devil’s advocate. Sometimes, the complaints need to be said, no matter how difficult to admit. Social media presents the idea of negativity being awful, being harmful, condemning it at all costs. Yet they act on it all the time. Cancel culture is an easy example. Toxic positivity is widespread, it has a good message but is poorly executed.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10, I would have to put myself around a 1-2 mainly because I feel like I am a very happy person and don't get to down on myself.With negative messages toward me I don't really care it doesn't effect me to much honestly because if I would care about every little thing someone said about me I spend all my life trying to change what people don't like about me and become someone I wouldn't like.I haven't been effected by negative comments because I just don't care.I shrug off comments pretty easily. And I look at situations positively because there would be on fun in life if I complained about everything, From social media I get a negative message. Everyone is on it is trying to be someone they are not,and most of them are probably unhappy. So I limit my use of social media.In the end all anyone wants is to be loved and accepted so you shouldn't criticize people if you can't take being criticized.- Aidan sylvester
ReplyDeleteI like to think of myself as an overall pretty positive person. On a scale of one to ten for how negative I think I am, I would give myself a three out of ten. I will admit that sometimes it is very difficult to keep a positive attitude and mindset. I really do try my best to focus on the good in life rather than the bad. I believe have a pleasant attitude toward my peers. I make sure I am putting the best version of myself out there most of the time. In this day and age, I am very aware of the negativity that is spread all of social media. I think the overall idea of social media is great. In reality, I think social media has become a hard space for people to go to. I always hear about negative things in the media and I think that is why our generation experiences so many mental health issues. As for myself, I don’t really receive any of these hate comments because I try to limit my followers to people I have met and know I can trust. If I were to get hate messages I don’t think I would be able to shrug them off that easily. After a little while I think I could let it go, but definitely not right away. In my everyday life, I think I do really try to look for the good. I try to focus on not being a complainer.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of one to ten I would say I am about a three at my worst because I am not a very negative person but I tend to complain a lot about things that you would never hear anyone complain about. When I complain about something it's not usually about homework or things everyone would complain about it is about things that I have chosen to do but I don't want to halfway through. As for negative messages that I see everyday I am not really bothered because I care more about what I think about myself then what others think. I have not been affected much by negative comments online because none of my social media is open to the public and I rarely get any negative comments. I can shrug off comments pretty easily when they are from people I am not really close with but if it is from someone I am close with I have a more difficult time ignoring it because their opinions matter to me. I am definitely more of a complainer in most situations and it's actually kinda bad and I am trying to be more positive. On social media I hear a mostly negative message because everyone is arguing with people they don't agree with instead of having a conversation and helping someone understand why they were wrong. It is also negative because people dont let respect other people's opinions if they are different then their own. I think that people should be more open to learn from others on social media instead of just sending hate to others and that social media is not going to become a really positive place unless everyone one both sides or the arguments are respectful and understanding.
ReplyDeleteI would say on a scale of 1-10 my negativity can get get up to a 7 when I am complaining about different things. I complain about just about anything I don't want to do even though I do it anyways. That's just a bad habit of mine. When I see negativity throughout my day I try my best to block it out or not get involved. I find myself to be pretty good at this. When I find negative comments about myself online I do not really tend to care about them, unless they're from somebody I am close with. I could care less if somebody I don't know is saying things about me. Recently, I have been trying my best to find the good out of every situation as opposed to complaining about everything. Also, the things I see on social media are positive for the most part, but here and there I will see something negative. I think that we could all work together to make social media a more peaceful place, but I don't think it will ever be 100% this way.

ReplyDeleteOn a scale of one to ten, I would say my negativity can either be a three or a four. I think I'm somewhere around there because I am sometimes not the most optimistic person,but I'm not really ever completely miserable. I try to stay a happy person because negative thoughts are never fun and can ruin a whole day if you let them. I try to ignore negativity, but since we are human sometimes it can't be ignored. Everyone at some point has probably experienced negative comments and the level of negativity varies. I feel that I am pretty good at shrugging off negativity, I want to be as positive as I can in life so I surround myself with positive people.I do complain, it's part of everyone, but for the most part I try to look for the good in a situation. Everywhere you look on social media you will find some kind of negativity, so it's important to know how to distance yourself from it so it won't bring you down.
ReplyDeleteI would say I'm a three on a scale of 1-10. Most days I try to have a positive mindset but some days it's hard to try and be positive. Throughout the day I don't see or hear too many negative comments but if I do, I respect what others are saying and then I shrug it off. I try not to argue with people because everyone has their own opinion and most of the time it's not worth it to try and change their view. I try not to let what I see or hear affect me or my mood. I try to look for the good in any situation. What I see on social media and online is mostly positive.
ReplyDeleteI would probably say i'm a 1 or a 2 i'm usually not a negative person i'm always trying to be nice to others but I do have times I get some what negative but almost all the time I am positive. Also I know people talk about me behind my back, not everyone likes me and that's OK I usually don't let it get to me and move on with my life. Any negativity you have to say about me just keep it to yourself.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I am a very positive person. Of coarse, we all have moments where positivity can be hard to find but I try my best to stay optimistic. On a scale from 1-10 I would say I am usually around a 1-2. If I see negative comments the only thing I do is ignore. The more negativity you see, the more it will get to you. By not caring what people think, you can surround yourself with people you know will make you happy. Although I have never seen a negative comment about myself I know people who have. People can be rude but at the end of the day the best thing you can do is remember that those comments usually come from jealousy or insecurity. By not responding you stop it from going on further. I try my best to stay off my phone because today, negativity is really common on social media platforms. I have always been able to take things less seriously and not let the bad influence the good.

DeleteOn a scale from 1-10, I believe that I am a solid 2. I love having a positive outlook on life and trying to make the best out of every situation. Of course everyone has their moments where things in life may be a little tricky though. I used to be nothing but negative when I was younger, thinking that my life was miserable. I was completely wrong though, it was just how I saw life. Going into high school, I turned myself around and looked at bad situations as a glass half full. Since then I believe that being positive can make a real difference on your moods and how you perceive things going on around you. I have had a few times where I've received criticism and negative comments about myself, but most the time I try not to think on it too much and instead think of all the people that do appreciate me.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when my friends are too negative, it can be hard to deal with. I try to help the best I can but when other people are in bad moods or mad/sad, I tend to reflect that and get the same mood. I'd love to live my life knowing more positive people than negative. Though, overall, your positivity can really make an impact on your life and your decisions of how you choose to live it.
I would generally consider myself a positive person, probably a 3-4/10. Like anyone, there are things that affect me in our world, and there are those that do not. I often find myself irritated, more angered by the small things than the big ones. This definitely makes it easier to keep my comments to myself, and while I am a bit of a complainer, I am not necessarily negative in this way. I try to focus heavily on being a good and happy person, both for others and for myself. While I don't feel as though I face personal attacks often, I know that I can be easily affected by negativity. I try my best to look at situations in more of a "glass half full" way, and be hopeful instead of gloomy. I think this is most difficult when it comes to my personal goals or beliefs. However, I consider myself a hard worker, so I do my best to advocate and take action instead of getting frustrated and being rude. This also helps me stay true to myself and fend off any worries about the negativity I may receive from others.
ReplyDeleteI would consider myself somewhat positive, probably around a 4/10. I try to always keep a positive mind even though we live in a world with so much negativity. Growing up in a life with social media it is hard to look away from all the negative people. Looking on the social media platforms that I have, I see negativity from the moment I wake up. It is so sad and horrible to see the way people treat others. At times I try to ignore the negativity but sometimes you can't and you need to stand up for people how are too afraid to stand up for themselves. I am sure I have been affected by negative comments online by people talking about me behind my back. I used to care what people thought of me and at times I still do but I've realized that it does not matter. It's my life and I shouldn't let people try and change it. Sometimes I can shrug it off but sometimes it is too hard not to. I tend to be a complainer but recently I have tired to look at the positive in situations. On social media I mainly see negative messages. I do see a lot on TikTok. I'll look at the comments and people can just say the rudest things. You never know what someone is going through and by you saying that one thing may really hurt that person. I also do see a lot of really nice comments but sometimes those are hard to find.
ReplyDeleteI think that I am probably a 2 or 3 out of ten when it comes to how negative I am.I like to think that I am a positive person. I do know that sometimes I can probably be very negative. I do always try to have a positive outlook on things. I do think about some things very negatively, but I think that we all do have our own negative opinions. I also hope that this world can become more positive.

DeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would considered myself a 3.On a daily basis I am usually a positive person.I try to keep a positive mindset and look at the good in all situations.I think that if you have a positive mindset then it makes life more enjoyable. Some days however it is hard to be as positive but I try to remind myself that there's a reason for everything that happens. If I were to have a mean comment on social media, I would probably be upset but then I would remind myself that it's just someone else opinion that doesn't know who I actually am. I do see a a lot of negative comments online and I think that it's so unnecessary.Social media was not meant to hate on people but to rather be fun and enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI would say, when talking about my negativity, on a scale from 1-10 I think I am a four. I don't think I am the most bubbly or loud happy person in the room or the miserable one either so I'm usually just in the middle. Instead of five I put four because I feel like I have a lot to be happy about right now with good friends and family. But at the same time I think my stress and over thinking things is what makes me a negative person. I tend to be in my head a lot but also really stressed during school so I have more bad days where I just don't want to talk to people, during the school week. However, when I am not in school I try not to complain about a lot. In the social media apps that I have I think people are very negative either in other people's comment section or just spreading things that are bringing certain people down. I think people are negative on the internet because they are not right in front of the people that they are bringing down with their words. Instead they are able to be behind a screen and they feel more powerful because they are protected.
ReplyDeleteI would rate myself a 5 out of 10 in terms of negativity. I try to keep a level head so that's why I said 5. I try to not be mad all the time, but with the constant messages on social media it's hard to get away from it all. When I see these messages I either blow by it quickly or try to find which part of it is misleading. Most comments don't break my skin, but there are some that I just want to tell the person how wrong they are. The quotes that get taken out of context drive me crazy because both sides do it and it gets them to the same place they started. I keep my ideas to myself because you shouldn't judge a person for what side they're on. A lot of people in this time can't see past their views and anyone that opposes them are automatic enemies. I don't think that's right.
ReplyDeleteJacob Snyder
DeleteI would rate myself at about a 4 out of 10. I am never usually negative and try to be nice to everyone I meet or see. I also try not to judge people because I learned in basketball that if you judge a team by their appearance they can be either way better or worse than they appear. Social media is very negative and i try not to be on it as much now to stay away from the negativity. I feel like I handle negativity well. i kinda just shrug it off and put it in my past. I feel Social media is the center of most negativity along with the media. Sports players get the most criticism out of all people and they have to deal with it and have to shrug it off and play the next game. Negativity is not a good thing but it what many people resort to.

DeleteI feel that I am not really a negative person, and on a scale of one to ten, I would say I am about a 5. I am not mean to people for no reason, but I do give constructive criticism. I think it is imperative to give constructive criticism because it can be beneficial to a person even though it could be mean. I feel that I am very pleasant to be around. Of course, I joke with my friends, but I never say anything really mean. I usually don’t react at all to negative messages because I just don’t care enough. I have not been affected by negative comments because there is really no reason to take them to heart. I don’t care what other people think of me because if they have to take the time to think of an insult or negative comment to say to me, they wasted time, which is the one thing you cannot get back or buy. I don’t have social media because I think it is pointless, dumb, and a huge waste of time. I tend to look at a situation as it is. If something is bad, I think that it could always be worse, but I don’t find some way to make it look better than it is. I think the same way when good things happen, and I actually tend to downplay good things when I’m around others in case they aren’t having such a good time. On day-to-day bases, I normally keep to myself, and that’s about it.
I’m not on social media, so I really just watch what the news has to say about things going on in the world. I frequently see a very negative message towards good things, such as Donald Trump getting re-elected. This is a good thing for the American country, and some people feel the need to openly disgrace his name and say he isn’t their president even though he just clearly is (This is just a small bit of the criticism he receives). I think this type of ignorance is really simple-minded, and even if you don’t like the president, you should respect him. You owe it to the country you live in and the leader that the American people chose. This is an excellent example of just how harmful the media is and how negative America has become. When it gets to the point when you ill-repute the president of the United States, I think that presents a pretty good idea of how negative people have become. - David Farrell
I would say I am a 5 out of 10. I have been trying to see the positives out of life and even when I do think something negative I never say it. If people make certain life choices or decisions that i don't necessarily agree with I don't mind because it is their life not mine. People are so judgmental of others because of what they think is right or wrong which is a shame. People being negative and judging every little aspect about each other is sadly the world we live in today.
ReplyDeleteBrady O'Pake
DeleteOn a scale form 1-10, I am probably a 4 in terms of negativity, but I am more negative towards people who I am extremely close with. If I have nothing to do with someone's life who I don't know I won't go out of my way to be negative to someone unless they are negative to me. If someone is a critic of me I will not be negative to them but if someone is is rude to me I will be rude back if I feel like it. I have never personally been affected by negative comments online. I tend to not care about what people think of me so when I shrug things off it's usually because I just don't care. I look for more of the good in situations because my parents would not let me complain and whine as a kid. When I was younger social media negativity was more profound, but now I feel like everyone is maturing and nobody cares about drama as much.
ReplyDeleteI would say I'm a 5/10 for negativity. Although I think of myself more as being realistic than negative/positive. I'm not overly optimistic about things and I'm not overly pessimistic. For example if I think I did bad on a test, sure I hope I actually did better than I thought, but I'm not gonna convince myself that I did do better than I thought.
ReplyDeleteI just brush off anything bad I hear for the most part, I don't see the point in dwelling on negative comments. At the same time though, sometimes you need negativity to stay grounded. Sometimes the critic has a point, but the rest of the time they're just trying to get under your skin.
Complaining can be good and can keep people from keeping too much stress bottled up. Complaining too much is annoying and no one wants to hear it. I normally just laugh most criticisms off, even if the intent was to be serious. I generally keep my thoughts to myself, and try to listen more, more so now than I did a few years ago. I think we should all listen more and not label people with an opposing viewpoint as being 100% wrong or "against us." We should try and have a more neutral approach to most things, too positive or too negative can both be damaging.
Chris Torzone
DeleteI would not necessarily consider myself negative. On a scale from 1-10 I would rate myself as a 3. When I see negative comments online I often look for the positive comments too. The positive comments are often taken over by the negative comments making them hard to find. I do believe there are many positive people online but they are often over looked by the negative people. I am lucky to say that I have not received many negative comments, but if someone does say something negative to me it will often stick with me longer than the positive thing. When I am near people I often say positive things to keep people happy although in my head I am picking out all the negative things I see, but I decide to keep that to myself. If I ever realize that I am being negative, I try and fix myself to be more positive.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale I am a 8-10. I am semi pleasant. When I see a negative message I usually think of something that is positive or I get very angry. I have no received any negative comments online. If someone did say something negative I would be able to shrug it off depending on how serious it is. I try to say positive things but I tend to complain a lot not realizing. I usually see negative messages on social media which makes people more conscious. I think it can ruin someones view on themselves and make them less confident. Social media should be a place to enjoy each other.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of one to ten, I would say I am 2 out of 10 percent negative. If I see or get called negative things I just ignore them and act like noting was said because I just really don't care. Ive never been called or have been talked about negatively online, but if I ever do, like I said I just don't care or act like nothing happened. I am usually a complainer, and never look at the good in anything. I wouldn't say I make negative comments about people especially throughout my school day, or even non school days. Lastly I don't really see negative comments on social media, but there are sometimes. Mark Cianciulli
ReplyDeleteIf I had to rate myself for how negative I am, I would rate myself a 3/10. I like to think of myself as a pleasant person to be around. I try not to complain too much, but when criticism is necessary I won't be afraid to show it. I don't take negative comments to the heart, rather I use it as motivation to better myself and make myself better than the person who is criticizing me. As I hear or see a negative comment, I take a moment to take it in, contemplating why the negative comment may have been said, then either shrug it off or take whatever action is necessary. I don't like living my life as a pessimist, and to be honest, being an optimist isn't always the greatest option either. I live my life as a realist, taking in the environment around me and reacting to it as such. It's not like I don't like optimism though, in fact sometimes it is needed. I just don't use it as my go to way of thinking throughout my life. Written by Dan Newell
ReplyDeleteI think on a scale of one to ten, I am a five when it comes to negativity. I try to be as happy as I can, but some days I just don't feel into anything and all I want to do is scowl. On social media, I try to be the best 1 as I can be because I know that it takes courage for people to post on Instagram and platforms like that. I try to leave nice, genuine comments for the person, and I hope that I make them smile.
ReplyDeleteEvery day comes with new challenges, and I try my best to keep my personal life separate from my school and work life, but sometimes, I can't hold all my emotion in. I find that the best way to deal with negativity, if it really gets to you, is to talk to someone who is willing to listen and support you. I've been bullied online and in person by a few of te same people, and I'v always tried to get the people to like me more or just be nicer, but as I've gotten older, I'v learned to just act like it doesn't effect me, even if a mean comment or action does make me upset.
I take a lot of things to heart, and I really need to try to stop taking things so personal because it makes it hard to shrug negativity off. I think I'm part complainer and pert optimist. I try to see the good in life as much as I possibly can, but I just need to complain sometimes, and it really helps to complain to a specific person. I think very negatively a lot of the time, but I really try to keep others happy before myself, which, I know, isn't good for me. I say things that are positive most of he time because I don't want people to take pity on me or anything, and I'd rather have friends because of positively impacting their lives.
On social media, people will find any excuse to "cancel" someone or "troll" them. People go after young influencers, that they made famous by following, because they want drama. Some people did do things that they should be scolded for, but the majority of people who "cancel culture" goes after have maybe offended people by speaking about something jokingly and didn't mean to at all. Cancel culture comments some awful things on people's posts, including death threats which are very unnecessary. I think that social media is a big part of the negativity that is in everyone's lives, and the other part is the amount of stress people are in due to the pandemic. I think people need to find a healthier outlet for their negative feelings other than being mean to people, because no good comes from that.
I would say I'm a 2 out of 10. I like to joke around a lot and try not to be negative. I try to ignore negative things as much as possible whether it's about me or someone else.I never been affected by negative comments online. I'm sometimes a complainer but I usually try to look at the positives of a situation. I hear a lot of negative comments on social media every day. I don't like this and I wish it could change.
ReplyDeleteI am not a very negative person. On a scale of 1-10, I am like a 2. I can get over negative messages I see or hear, and shrug them off easily. I don't let them affect me because I don't really care what people think or say about me. I've realized that none of the negative things others have to say matter in the long run. They definitely may hurt in the moment, but I try to keep a "whatever" mentality to stay positive and get over them easily. I see a lot of negative messages online, which definitely outnumber the positive ones. Unfortunately, I believe that there are many people who just aren't positive or uplifting, and make it difficult for others to want to be around them. I try to avoid negative comments and keep any that I might want to say to myself, even though it can be very difficult sometimes. If I ever am feeling very negative, I keep to myself and don't spread it or take it out on anyone.
ReplyDeleteIf you want me to be completely honest, on a scale from one to ten I'm probably a six. I'm very pessimistic and look at the bad side of things. However, what I am proud of myself for doing is not judging others. Even though I think I'm very negative, I'm not negative about people. I let people do/think/say whatever they want as long as their morals are good. For example, I wouldn't condone someone who wants to hurt others or someone who has messed up views in life. I'm definitely a glass half empty kind of person but I do my best not to show it. I envy people who can be naturally happy when the world around us is basically crumbling. I have had random people message and comment negative things towards me and I wish I could just turn away from them but sadly I cannot. I let what people say about me get to me and I wish I could change that. People can be so mean sometimes and comment on people's posts that don't deserve it. Some people are just trying to have fun and have a good time. Then there are people who want the anyone and everyone to suffer for no good reason. People like that are the reason as to why everyone is so negative. I will admit, there are some people who just aren't effected by negativity like that, but for the most part people really let insults and things of that nature get to them. That's why I think everyone is so negative. I wish it wasn't like that, and everyone can be happy, but unfortunately people will never stop judging and hating on others.

DeleteOn a scale of one to ten I would rate myself a 4 out of 10. Although I view myself to be semi-pleasant, I do have some moments of negativity. I try to stay positive and spread positivity to those around me. I personally have not been affected by negative comments online. But when I see or hear negative comments I usually just shrug it off and forget about it. I try not to dwell too much on the negative things in life because it is simply just not worth it. Even though I sometimes complain, I try my best to see the good in all situations. Lately I think social media has become more negative and a place of criticism which is very wrong. Even through all of the negativity though, there are still many positive people online to balance it out. Being positive is very important, especially online because you never know what someone may be going through and how it can affect them.
ReplyDeleteI try not to be a negative person. On a scale of one to ten, I am probably and even five. I normally try to stay positive and happy , but I often struggle. I don't even realize how negative or angry I get at certain things. I see a lot of negative things online but I just ignore them. I never really get any negative attention or comments online, so I never had to deal with them. I try to stay positive and not complain for the most part, but sometimes I get easily frustrated and complain. Most things I see on social media is just literal nonsense, but some of it is negative. There should probably be some more positivity out there though.
ReplyDeleteIn my own thoughts, I think I am not a very negative person. On a scale of 1-10, I think I would be a 2 or 3. I tend to get over negative things instead of letting them get in my head. Sometimes, I complain about things that have happened to me but I get over them quickly. Negative comments are a big thing on social media, which is a huge problem. Whenever I see one, I wonder why they would say it. Change is needed on social media and we need to do our part to change it.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would say I'm like a 3 as a negative person. I like to try and stay relaxed and not listen to all the negativity around me. I try my best to not let it affect me and try to just shrug it off. Sometimes it isn't the easiest to shrug it off, but I keep trying to be positive. I always try to look for the good in situations, but sometimes it just seems like complaining is the easiest thing to do even if it does nothing. The thing I don't like is how negative social media is now not only that and it's hard t ignore it.
ReplyDeleteI do not consider myself to be a negative person, and on a scale of 1-10 I would say that I am a 2. I am especially not negative towards other people. I usually do my best to not let negative comments get to me. Sometimes I don't care what other people say, but other times it is a little difficult to not think about it all the time after it happens. I would say that overall that most of the time I don't take negative comments too personally. I have been affected by them mostly in person. I try my best not to complain too much. Sometimes I feel like I do it a lot, but when I talk to people it's not the only thing I talk about. I always see a lot of negative comments particularly on social media towards other people. I think about how those people were also probably affected by negativity a few times in their lives so now they want to take it out on other people. I think social media has unfortunately become a place where way too many people think it's ok to make negative comments because no one can do anything. A lot of the time when I do feel upset and something is bothering me I try my best to stay positive and think of the good sides to the situation.
ReplyDeleteOften times i mostly try to stay positive, but sometimes my emotions can manage to get the best of me. I would personally say I’m honestly a 4. Sometimes i can be a grouchy person, but majority of the time I would say i try to be a positive person. I don’t like to be negative in front of others cause then that puts everyone in a pissy mood. I usual try to avoid acknowledging any negativity towards me, whether it is online or in person, because If i’m in a good mood i don’t want someone to ruin my positive mood. I think there are way too many negative people on social media, and that if you’re gonna be negative you should just get off of social media, as it draws the world apart.
ReplyDeleteI'm more realistic then pessimistic, but sometimes the truth is negative. I'm usually negative if I out my self, or someone else, puts me in a bad mood. I like to think I don't let hurtful things people say get to me, but they do. I believe people put on a mask that they don't want anyone to see in fear of being judged and slandered by those who have nothing better to do then put evil into the world. The world is already filled with hatred and people who have to have a negative response to everything you say are in the wrong. I can be a very sensitive person even if others don't know that. So, when someone says they don't like me or they think i'm ugly, on the outside I way be collected but on the inside I hate myself, I don't even blame the person saying these things to me.
ReplyDeleteI consider myself to be a relatively positive person. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being the most positive I would rate myself a 3. I don't believe I am a grouch, I consider myself to be more pleasant. When I see negative messages or comments on social media I don't comment back because that's not who I am. I will see them and try to ignore them as much as possible, or share how I feel about them with my mom or sister. Some comments or posts annoy me or make me consider why people do things like that, but I ignore them and continue with the positive in my life. I have never been affected by negative comments about myself, but I see comments that I think are harsh or that I don't agree with all the time. I see them and wonder how people can be so rude or hateful. I also think there are many times where you need to just keep you comments to yourself. If I see negative comments I shrug them off pretty easily because I remember that I shouldn't care what people think as long as what I am doing makes me happy. I do have things that I tend to complain about, but I try to look for the good in as many situations as possible. I feel that the majority of the social media posts I see are negative, which I know is not true. I think I feel this way because the negative posts always stick with me longer than positive ones, which is a shame. Sometimes I try to stay off social media for a while because I believe when I read negative comments or posts it makes me less positive and makes it harder to look for the good in people.
ReplyDeleteI believe everyone has negative emotions. Maybe not as bad as others, but everyone definitely has them. Myself personally, I try not to be a negative person. On scale from one to ten I'd put myself at 4-5 I guess. Throughout the years, I have learned a lot about dealing with negativity. The best way to resolve it is to be mature about it. If someone has something negative to say about you or to you, ignore it. I definitely try to look for the good in situations because focusing on the negativity wont make matters any better. Although I do complain at times, looking on the bright side of things is always the best thing to do. The media always has something negative to say. I believe that if you want someone to respect your opinion, you must respect theirs.
ReplyDeleteI always try my best to stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible. On a scale from one to ten, I'd say I am about a 2 or 3. My biggest source of negativity is complaining. I complain a lot about work I have to do. I try to remind myself that complaining never helps the situation. Other than that, I am very positive about everything. If something ever goes wrong, or I am presented with a problem, I don't let it bring me down and I try to find a solution. If it is something I don't have control over, then I always try to find the good in the situation. The media is full of negativity. This is very upsetting because social media has the potential to be an accepting place where people can be uplifted. However, I see negative comments about people everyday. While I have never seen a negative comment directed towards me on social media, I try to ignore the negative comments about others. There is no point in worrying about what others think about you. The only opinion that matters is the one you have about yourself. This mentality helps me to easily ignore anything negative someone says about me or others. The only time I take a negative comment seriously, is if it comes from someone I know and care about. In order to stay optimistic, I think it is very important to surround myself with positive people and keep an open mind.
ReplyDeleteI can be a very positive person but I can also be a very negative person. On a scale from 1-10, 1 being always positive and 10 being always negative, I would say that I am around a 4. I try to stay positive but there is so much negativity all around us. I handle all the negativity around me by listening to music and just relaxing. I personally have never been affected or impacted from negative comments on social media, but I have come across it. I can shrug off negativity pretty easily. I try to look for the good in situations but there is always a way to find something negative to focus on. On social media I mainly focus on the positive side of things, very rarely do I bother to look at negative things. I believe that social media needs to be a more positive outlet.
ReplyDeletei usually try to ignore negativity when it comes from others. all it does is hurt you or whoever its directed at.i really dont complain about much because there isn't much i can do to change the opinions and ways people think and act. im probably like a 4 when it comes to being negative but i dont really express that. i know i dont want to be surround by negative people so i doubt others would want to be.
ReplyDeleteI try my very best to stay positive and avoid being too negative but sometimes it's really hard. I would probably rate myself a 4 or 5. I complain a lot. I complain about school, work, practices, pretty much everything. Also I feel like social media came make me more negative. I try not to worry about what people think of me but sometimes what they say can get to me. I try to brush off negative comments and just do what I enjoy. I act like I don't care when sometimes it can really get to me but I try to stay positive.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1 to 10 I would say i am a 5 because i have good days but at the same time I have bad days. The way I handle negativity is that I just try and ignore it and try not to let what people say get to me. Yes I have been affected by negative comments but I try not to let them get to me and I just forget about them and ignore them. I can almost always shrug off comments that people tell me. I usually try to look on the good side of situations instead of complaining but we all have some of those days where we just have to complain about something. I mostly hear negative stuff online and my opinion is that people need to try to be a bit nicer or at least write something that isn't so harsh but can convey the same message.
ReplyDeleteZack Smith
DeleteI consider myself a 5 because I am pretty negative but I can see the good in situations. I tend to avoid sources of negativity. I don't use social media, I don't listen to news sources that can't be objective and I don't talk to people who constantly bring negativity. When I do see negativity I try to ignore it and remember to not listen to that person in the future.
ReplyDeletei would consider myself a 4. i could be negative at times but i try to see the light in every situation. if i ever get a negative message i just laugh. they are not worth my time! i always get hate on social media for my political views. which is really sad but everyone has their views. i really like to debate but if they're not stating facts then i can shrug it off. with any topic even. the message i like to see on social media is "believe in yourself" i really like this because everyone on social media always looks at everyone else and thinks they dont match up to their standards. at the end of the day, you should focus on yourself and no one else.
ReplyDeletecloe stadelmaier
DeleteI would consider myself a 5 as that I can be positive but at the same time be very negative. I normally depends on my day on if I am positive or negative. If I am having a bad day like being late I will be negative for the day or if I find 20 dollars on the ground I'll be as happy as I can be for the rest of the day.In the end myself decides if I'm positive or negative for that day, other might might say something to me that might change it but it's my choice in how I handle it.
ReplyDeletemike moore
DeleteOn a scale from 1-10 I would rate myself a 4 on the negativity scale. I rate this number for myself because around other people I feel genuine happiness and naturally I am for the most part always pleasant to be around regardless of what is going on in my life. As far as social media goes I try to stay away from it due to the extreme negativity and the extreme positivity that is constantly shoved into every users face and I personally become very overwhelmed by it. I do however think there are some great people out there that provide excellent information on mental health struggles that I find to be really great. I rate myself a 4 because I think that I can be extremely negative towards my own self and become a person I would not want to share with others. I definitely try my best to stay positive in trying situations but I sure do find myself to be a complainer at times. Everyday seeing all of the negative things all over social media is definitely a lot to process when you really step back and think about what your reading. It is really upsetting at times to see the ugliness in people's heart but it also makes me value the people in this world that are just simply kind to others. Overall I don't think I would classify myself as an extremely negative person but like everyone sometimes I do become the negative person that I don't want to be, but I can confidently say that I try my best everyday to treat others with the kindness they deserve and not hold hate in my heart.
ReplyDeleteI think I am probably a four on the scale. I have my moments of overthinking and negativity, but I try to not let others see through that too much. I sometimes tend to hop on a band wagon of negativity when it comes to certain situations with people. This could be like in an instance of talking about someone or agreeing if someone talks about another. I still think that overall I would define myself as a positive and genuine person.The way I deal with negativity can really depend on the day and how I'm feeling. Sometimes I sulk in the negativity, or other times do things to distract myself from and try to forget. I do my fair share of complaining and looking for the good in situations. I don't act the same way to every situation, so it's hard to define myself as one or the other.
ReplyDeletedanielle
DeleteI try to stay very positive on a day to day basis. I find myself being much more negative to myself than I am to others. Overall I would say I am a 1/10 to my peers and an 8/10 to myself. It's something I am trying to work on at the moment. I personally can not remember a time I have received hate comments of any kind. However, I see negative comments on celebrities posts on a day to day basis, which is really upsetting. Many people who leave hate comments are insecure in themselves or have other problems in their life at the moment. It's important to not take negative comments very seriously because they shouldn't have an impact on your life. I don't find myself to be a negative person at all, though its possible I seem negative if i'm not having a conversation with you. I try to treat people with kindness on a day to day basis, and that is what everyone should strive to do.
ReplyDeleteLaine Spang
DeleteDepending the situation I’m in I can be very negative. I tend to let a bad situation or bad day get in my head. I would say I can be a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10 because I tend to look for the negative in some situations. When having a bad day at school or a bad practice I put my head down and complain and find it hard to listen to other people when they tell me it’s OK, I have been trying harder to see the positive in situations and not everything will not have a bad outcome. When it comes to social media I tend to ignore negative comments is see online because the people who say them may not be happy and maybe trying to take it out on other people so it is good to ignore those kinds of people because they mean nothing to you. Social media tend to show off the best part of other people’s lives which may make you rethink yourself but you can’t compare yourself to those people. Even when you aren’t happy with yourself it isn’t right to take it out on others because they don’t deserve to feel that way.
ReplyDeleteFiona burke
Usually I think I'm a negative person to myself but very positive to others. Bad situations can really effect my mood. I think that effects my mood because I tend to over react and think the worst even if the situation isn't that bad. I try to listen to others when they say it's not really that bad, but sometimes my head gets in the way of listening to that. On social media I do my best not to pay attention to negativity, because I know it doesn't matter. I feel like no matter what you do to ignore negativity on social media it has a way of getting to you no matter how hard you try.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte LaMagna
I feel that I am usually not a negative person. On a scale from one to ten rating my negativity, I would give myself a 3. I usually tend to look for the good moments in a negative situation so I don't end up bringing myself down or maybe be able to help others who are having a hard time with a negative situation. If someone is trying to bring me down with negativity I'll just ignore them or push it off because why would I give them the time of day to respond to them and give them the attention they want.
ReplyDeleteAs easy as it would be to say that I'm a positive person, I know it's difficult to be. I try my best to see the good in every situation but I think it's wired in us to have a negative outlook on things. There's a lot of influence on how we think, including how we are raised, the people we surround ourselves around, etc. On a scale from 1-10 I would say I'm about a 6; I think it's much easier to have something negative to say versus something positive. For me, it's far easier to tell people to be more positive and encourage them to see the good, but I try my best to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI would rate myself a 4 on the negativity scale. I tend to be a pretty positive person, but I'm not perfect.
ReplyDeleteI try not to act on negative emotions because usually I'm fine in like 15 minutes. Not a lot of things bother me to be honest because I don't take things seriously. I try to always see the good in everything but sometimes it is hard. I feel like a can be super positive and also negative.

I would like to consider myself a pretty positive person. On a scale of one to ten rating my negativity, I would say that I am a two. I think that I handle negative messages pretty well. I normally don't let them get to me but every once in awhile if a comment is really hurtful then I would be upset. I believe that I always look for the good in every situation. I think that social media these days is pretty even between positive and negative messages. A lot of people may think that it is more negative but I think that the negative comments are pointed out more than the positive ones.
ReplyDeleteMia Delmoro
I’d love to say that i’m an optimist and a positive person but sometimes it’s really hard to. There can be a lot of negative aspects in life that can change your opinion and view on life. There can also be a lot of positive ones. It’s important to be able to turn the negative attitude into a positive one and be able to look on the brighter side of life. On a scale of 1/10 i’d say i’m a 5. I’m pretty ashamed of how negative i can be on myself. To other people i’m mostly positive and uplifting. My negative emotions get the best of me to often. Emma Runfoka
ReplyDeleteI would consider myself positive for the most part although I do have some bad days where I feel very sad and as a negative person. I would say one to ten my negativity is about a six and is constantly something I try and work on. Social media sometimes plays a role in my negative feelings but also is just sometimes over stress from school and life in general. I think positive messages are sent out everyday and told to different people but they do not stick in your head as much as the negative ones do. I try to be as positive as I can but sometimes it is okay to not have a good day.
ReplyDeleteJosie Cisick
I would say on a scale of 1-10 that i'm a 4. I like to always see the positive in things on my day to day basis. When negative things do happen I usually stay calm and try not to react right away. I like to think that everything happens for a reason. I do think social media has a negative effect on people. Personally I haven't experienced negative things said about me online but I do see it about other people and those words can really hurt people. I easily shrug things off and forget about things, I don't like to hold grudges at all but sometimes things do hurt and you feel that, you can't keep pushing it off. I do complain about little things but overall I look for the good and it can be hard but its better to be positive.

DeleteOn a scale from 1-10, I would probably be around a 3. Most of the time I am positive and try to look on the positive side of situations. While evryone has different emotions, and react differently, I think everyone should strive to be the best version of themselves and being positive. Many people who leave hate comments are insecure in themselves or have other problems in their life at the moment. It's important to not take negative comments very seriously because they really should not have an impact on your life.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale from 1-10, I am probably a 3. I think life could be easier to go through if we were positive and maintain a happy "aura", but it is quite difficult. Today's world is full of constant worry and caution. It is difficult to enjoy our life when we have to worry about wearing masks and keeping social distance between our family and loved ones. However, if we look at the world through a positve point-of-view, we can still have hope for a better future.
ReplyDelete- Xochitl Cruz Hernandez
DeleteI would say that I am a 2. Most of the time you see me I'm a happy ,fun person. I typically handle negative comments well. I usually just shrug any negative comments off because if someone is making fun of me then it means that they're insecure and if I don't know them then why should I care what they say about me. I have always looked for the positive, uplifting things to say or do even in negative, bad situations I try to always stay positive.
ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10 I would say that I am a 3. I would say I am a pretty positive person and I like to make the best out of situations. I am generally always in a good mood and the people who see my negative side usually are my closer friends and family. If you don’t know me that well, I dont think I would ever come across as negative or unhappy. Most people see me as very energetic, outgoing, and definitely talkative. Although, if negative comments are made towards me, I don’t take if very well. I am very sensitive therefore I get super upset easily and takes things very personal. I usually don’t handle people’s negative attitudes with negativity back but rather encourage them to me more positive and make light of the situation. But when something really bothers or annoys me its hard for myself to be positive about it at first, after complaining about it for a little then it helps me get over the situation. It is sad that the world can be so full of negativity these days but I always tell myself that everything happens for a reason and everything gets better. I try to keep others positive and help their mindsets but what I do do for others I should do more for myself too.
ReplyDeleteTo others I am pretty upbeat and positive but I would say I am a pretty negative person to myself, if I'm honest. I like to be realistic in situations so I can always be prepared for the worst. It's not realistic for the world to be sunshine and rainbows anymore. Not everyone gets a happy ending. That's how the dice roll and I need to be prepared. It always hurts more when you are expecting the best and the results are awful. And it always feels better when you expect the worst and get the best results. I guess I would give myself a 6.5. I can better handle my emotions as well if I know what's to come. While I try to be hard on myself, negative comments get to me. Not so much online but in person. Some of the stuff said to me should never be said to a person. It can really get to a person. Online however, I will laugh about it because I think of how wimpy the person must be if they can't say it to my face. With all of that negativity, I am not really a complainer. I tend to bottle stuff up for how expressive I am. I am an open book when it comes to emotions but telling you how I feel is a whole different story. I really have to trust a person to tell them my problems. With others, I try to be upbeat and positive. I would never want to be hard on another person as I am to myself.

ReplyDeleteOn a scale of 1-10, I would say I am a 2. I am not very negative, and I try to look on the bright side of things. I ignore the negative messages I receive and block them out. I have never been seriously affected by negative messages on social media. It's not always the easiest to rub the negative comments off, but I know it is what's best for my mental health. I look for the good in any situation even if things are going badly. I mainly hear negative thoughts on social media and it is not good for anyone. Constructive criticism is better than full negativity and is healthier for everyone.

On a scale of one to ten I would say that I am a 6. I am happy at times and sad at others. I have had hate on social media, but I ignore the negative comments. Social media has become very toxic over time. I think that it is better for everyone to think about what they are saying and how it can hurt someone before they say it. It's hard to trust other people and tell them whats going on with the negativity in your life. But it is better to not get offended and talk about it.

When having a bad day at school or when I just get in my head it can be really hard to listen to people when they tell me it's ok. I have been trying harder to see the positive in situations and not everything will not have a bad outcome.

ReplyDeleteI try not to be negative on social media. I try to use it as something that I can use to make myself happy after having a hard day, so I would say that I'm probably about a 7 or 8. When I do get negative messages, I try not to let them go to my head. Instead, I just try and filter them out as much as possible. They don't really affect me very much and I can shrug them off pretty easily. I normally try and look for the good in a situation, but I will admit that I do complain a lot sometimes. Max Roberge
ReplyDeleteI can be negative from time to time but I do not feel that i am too negative. On a scale of 1-10 I would say that I am probably a 3 out of ten because sometimes I can be negative but not always. I consider my self to be semi pleasant to be around. I can handle negative messages well and even if they do bother me I am very good at forgetting about them. Sometimes I can complain about some some things but never too often. I had realized that I was starting to talk more negatively and recently i have been focusing on not being so negative this has helped me b happier. I see a pretty positive and negative social media feed. Mostly it is positive but sometimes it is not because of the hard times our country is going through
ReplyDeletei dont feel like i am a negative person i feel like i am a very energetic person who likes to do things but if i had to rate it 1-10 i would say about a 3. i know i can be annoying at times but i think i am a somewhat fun or pleasent person. i will complain a lot well not a lot but sometimes if i have a serious opinion about it but if its small i will let it go. i used to be all negative but after a while i kinda was tired of it and said i am just going to do me and go with it. social media is a big part of all the lives of people with hate and love i just try to stay out of it exspecially at this time with politics you got to be careful was you post and say
ReplyDeleteI feel like I can definitely be a negative person at times, but I wouldn't say that I'm a negative person. If I had to rate my negativity on a scale of 1-10, I would say that I would be a 3. In most cases I'm a pretty positive person and don't tend to see things in a negative way. Through all of the criticism and rude comments that we see daily, it can be hard to be positive. When you realize that the negative comments are just coming from someone sitting behind a screen, I find it hard now to be effected by it too much.

DeleteI am at times negatives, but not purposefully. sometimes you can't really help being negative I believe, but I try to stay positive as much as possible. If I had to rate my negativity on a scale of 1-10 I would rate it a 3 because I do have moments where I am negative if I am just in a bad mood or having a bad day but other than that I am a pretty positive person. I don't think that social media is a source of negativity necessarily, however if you are looking at all the comments on posts or having conversations with people on social media it is much easier to find negativity there then within an in-person conversation.

DeleteI tend to find myself being negitive at leat once a day. I hate that about myslef i want to be more positive about things. But having that outlook is something I have to learn to have. I want to say on a scale I am a five out of ten negitivity. Some days I am worse than others. Socail media can be a very negitive place but I have only had positive incounters over the internet.
ReplyDeleteI'm not always negative. There are some days where I guess I'm in a negative mindset but I always try to think positive. I want to say on a scale I'm a three out of ten negativity. There are obviously some days where I am in a bad mood and I feel negative but everyone has those days. Social media can be a very negative area but there can also be a lot of positivity.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say I'm a really negative person, I try to look on the bright side and see the good in things, but that doesn't mean I can't be negative sometimes. On a scale from one to ten I would say I'm about a 3 on the negative scale. A more pleasent person than a negative one. The way I handle getting negative comments is probably unhealthy because I always pretend that they don't bother me, and sometimes they dont, but I tend to bottle them up so I don't bother anyone with it. I have never personally delt with any comments and such online, but I do know people that have and I see how it affects them. Shrugging off a regular comment in person is a little hard then ones online, because they're not saying it to your face, but hiding behind a screen. I feel that I do tend to complain in situations, but I always seen to pause so I can think things through and look to the posative side. Social media can be positive, but with whats been going on a lot of things seem to be carrying a negative conotation and things can be quite toxic. But there are days when they are posative.
