Why?
I don't normally post more than once in a day, but today I feel the need to say this.
I have a friend. Well, she is more of an aquaintance than a friend. A friend of a friend you might say. I don't see her very often, but when I do, I'm glad I don't see her more often.
Here's the down-low on her. She is negative about everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything!! For example:
I'm going back to school. ~~~ Oh, you should wait until you have more money.
I got this awesome new skirt. ~~~ You will probably shrink it right away.
I can't afford to go out for dinner. ~~~ You probably spent your whole check right away.
I'm saving money. ~~~ Yeah, until next week when you want something.
I like my car. ~~~ It's a piece of shit, and is gonna die soon.
AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I hate it! I don't even know her that well, and she never has anything good to say. She does not know me well enough to make these judgements about me, nevermind say it out loud. She is rude, obnoxious, thinks she knows everything and everyone, and she gets on my nerves.
The worst part about it, is that she can be so nice. She is a wonderful friend to my friend, and she has a wonderful heart. I feel bad that I don't really like her, but I make my tongue bleed everytime I am around her. I bite it so often, I'm suprised there is anything left of it.
Why do some people have to be so negative about everything? There are wonderful things in this life, and having faith in people can inspire them to even bigger and better things! How can that possibly be bad? What good are you if you refuse to have a good thought about your friends, and their friends?
I am, in general, a very positive person. I like people, I like being around people, and I am easy to get along with. I don't know if this person reads my blog, or if she will know who she is if she reads this post, but I feel the need to say this. Be positive. It makes a world of difference.

The cup is half full.. or at least that's how I like to look at things. It sure does make a world of difference.

People like that bug me too. I can understand if someone is going through a bad time and wants to wallow in it and grumble and be negative. For a little while.
She's probably a really sad unhappy person inside. Maybe she doesn't realize that it's manifesting itself this way. Maybe your mutual friend and mention her negativity nicely?

I suppose someone should say something. But I don't think it should be me. She is already extremely defensive. And especially from me. It's as if she is afraid to hear what I think. I wonder if she actually values what I think and then is mad if it is not what she wants? Curious thought. Wow. That would be a twist.
Oh well. Someone will say something to her eventually. But I can say that the next time she says something to me, I will be letting her know that I don't appreciate those kinds of comments, and in the future can she please keep them to herself. I've had about all I can take.
And yes, the cup is half full. But if I'm thirsty, I'm gonna drink the water!

When you're negative, often it's like being stuck in a loop - you can't get out of it easily. That's the worst thing about it.
Your whole quality of life deteriorates...i find it so hard to understand!

I'm back again...lol.
What Leila said is so true. It's like once something bad happens to you, more bad things happen...I don't know if it's because you're attracting negative energy or if you're just distracted and inadvertently get yourself into a bad way.
I think it's definitely a good idea to express to someone when they make you feel bad. Why should you feel bad just cuz she's miserable?
