I'm very positive, and always think of the best outcomes rather than the worst. I also love to give compliments and keep a light attitude! My friend circle is also a lot like me, so some people would say that we are too positive sometimes, hahaha. We literally never get mad or angry. It does lead to a lot of spontaneously stuff, so I'm happy for it.
So yes, positive.
 
To be honest, I'm really neutral. I can be positive and negative at any times. Especially at high school, I barely smiled. :/
 
I honestly voted neither because the option I'd say I am isn't really there.

I consider myself more on the positive side, but my clinical depression can make me more negative...
 
I am negative and critical about myself but usually positive about life and other people in general
 
Somewhere in the middle I suppose. When it comes to myself I expect the worst, but when "socializing" I try to be my best self and think of everything. Over time I hope to become more positive in general.

It really depends on the context. Like, my illness makes me anxious and such, but I generally try to be a positive influence on the people around me. But at the same time I also always choose honesty over kindness and think critically first, I just tend to have respect for anyone even if I dislike them too. Like I think negatively but act positively (for the most part, now always). So I chose neither.

I try not to hold my grudges against anyone as I feel like its not the right way to do that. And if there's something we take for granted every day and treat it like trash when it goes down for a while, I'll still be thankful that we had that said thing in the first place as not everyone gets the opportunity to do so. While I may be a softie at times, I won't back down on being aggressive if people really are going out of their way to be a pain in the arse.
 
Negative... sigh. Tis what depression does to ya. But that's not to say that I'm never happy because I do have my happy times but always seem to resort back to self-loathing...
 
I consider myself to be a generally negative person. I tend to gravitate towards the worst outcomes and because of that, I view life as being bleak and humanity as hopeless. I often struggle with the thought of weather I'm being realistic or pessimistic.

I think our minds are naturally inclined to focus more on negativity than positivity, since our brain is constantly problem solving in order make better sense of reality. In some cases, it might take mental training to achieve a healthy balance between the two.
 
I'd say negative, because I'm constantly looking down on myself. People compliment me frequently, but I don't ever really take those to heart because they make me uncomfortable for some reason.
 
I'm a mixture of both. However, lately I've been trying to be more positive. Thinking about things like the future and going off to college makes me more hopeful.
 
I'm both. It just depends.

If it's relating to myself I'm typically negative. I have little self confidence and never feel like I'm good enough.
When it comes to other people though I am definitely positive. I look for the best in people and often help them turn things around when they are being negative.
 
I guess I'm quite positive. so positive it may actually be a flaw. I try to see the good in everything if I'm able to so it can get a bit, excessive. I try to avoid conflicts at all times and I always try to understand the other person, even if they're arguing with one of my friends. (Except if it's over something unforgiveable such as racism or homophobia, those kinda things, you know.)
I always think of the world as something very happy and... innocent, kinda? I guess it makes me a bit naive but I really believe in humanity and our future, and trust me it's very hard, especially during these times.
 
I'm pretty much laid-back. And a whole lot of optimistic thoughts in my head, regardless of the situation.. which, would always make my buddies end up saying something like she's/he's dumbfounded for how much of optimist I am.. So I'd say I'm positive?
The only thing that clouds my mind is just when my baby isn't doing good in terms of her/his chronic disease. But that's not something anyone could feel positive, right?

Both but more positive than negative. I never really dwell on things that make me sad. If something doesn’t go well, i tell myself it’s not the end of the world. I always try to think about the bright side when something bad happens
