Would I seem like a negative person?!
Question: I'm very shy and soft-spoken and usually at work I'm pretty quiet but work hard. I tend to keep things bottled up a lot. I've been struggling with my asthma recently but usually keep the frustration or fear bottled in. I'll just take my inhaler quietly and avoid eye contact or attention if people are around. Also a few of my family members are sick and even tho I try not to think about it, some days I get sad. I also don't have the greatest confidence and have verbalized how I feel like an oddball or how I hate my hair. I smile at people though and genuinely care for others. You could say I put them ahead of myself most of the time. A few people I've opened up to and they know about things I've been dealing with.
Had some family drama happen over the holidays but I'm not sure if I should talk about it with my friends at work. Don't want to seem like a negative person or a downer all the time.
From what you know of me, do I seem like a negative person?

Have you been watching my life?!? That's me in a paragraph.
It seems like you are afraid of what everyone thinks if you were to come out and voice your opinion, feelings, or emotions.
Illness, work life, family, social anxiety..... some people are not affected by such things in life, some people seek help and some people keep it bottled up ~ which is probably the most dangerous for your mental and physical-wellbeing.
From what I know of you, you are not a negative person. You may just need someone to hear you out every-now-and-then. You know, like someone in your life that you can confide in and you can get a little advice in return. You can steer your own ship, but nobody said you have to battle the rough seas by yourself.
You said you genuinely care for others. You worry about your family. You're not in the best health yourself ~ asthma, stress and daily worries (which probably stems from how your handle these situations). If you can still manage to send a smile peoples way, I commend you....You are a trooper and I hope you get out of your rough patch.
Keep your head up!
You seem introverted. It isn't your fault that others are sick, and unless you are home tending to their every need, there isn't nothing you can do except to put it in the hands of the people that are the caretakers. Holiday drama, I hate that, too. I am very fortunate to be able to spend the holidays wherever I want, so I stray from the drama. I don't think your a negative person. I think you have a negative life. Change it. You'll be glad you did.
Not at all! But I do know from my own struggles with shyness, that people may mistake you not as negative but as stuck up. When you don't act friendly, thats just what they automatically assume. You need to do little things, things in your comfort zone, to let them know you're a nice person. Smile often. Say hi when you walk in, or chat a little if that isn't too awkward. Be polite, but get to know people and take a personal interest in them too. Best of luck!
Not negative, just a little anti-social. But, there's classes for that kind of stuff, like when I was anti-social, I had to take a 4-Month course, but it was worth it.
i think its not healthy to keep it inside u will blow and if u dont itll keep getting worst and u will regret it why didnt i do something or say something
No, I don't think that you are are negative person. Everyone enjoys talking about themselves or the current things that are going on with them. I would suggest that you talk about things that uplift your spirit and then blend in some of the stressful things that are bothering you and maybe those close to you would be able to put more input on your situation or offer other alternatives.
