Stop being negative?!

Stop being negative?

I'm a very sarcastic and cynical person. I see the negative in almost every situation. I've been told I'm very callous. I dont ever expect to be a perky happy person, but I'm tired of being how I am. I think my outlook and the things I joke/laugh about push people away from me. I guess I'm a mean person. How can I be positive? I dont think I'm depressed, but I wouldn't say I'm happy.

Thinking positively is a skill. It is something you have to practice and takes awhile to get into a habit of.

The best thing you can do is whenever you find yourself thinking negatively, stop yourself immediately. Always push out negative thoughts and try and find a positive one. It takes work and it's not something that will happen over night. Don't give up, the more you do it, the more positively you'll think. The next thing you know, you'll be thinking positively all the time.
