    Although, being gravely negative comes with its own additional issues like worrying about possible negative future that in 99% of cases does not happen. We have one overly negative person in the family and it is wearing them down, all is bad, other people do [put anything that you’d think is absolutely fine] better/differently so we must be doing it wrong and it will fall/catch on fire/explode. Being positively realistic is IMHO the best path.

    But what do I know, maybe that is just the positive side of me talking and some train really derails and hits me in my office in 4th floor.

      There does also exist kinds of mania that comes with all the same downsides.

      Some of my most depressing moments where expressed through positive joy. Nothing hurt more then people proclaim how much more they like me “this way”. Which i answered with a big dumb smile.

      I can’t and won’t blame people for not seeing trough the mask, the point of masking is that they don’t see but considering those where my parents it hit deep that they where so easily fooled by a pure act.
