Share something negative and then something positive

Hi everyone!

This is my first thread so I'm not really sure how everything will work. I thought it might be nice if we all shared something negative but then something positive to counter it. This can be something you struggle with, a mean thought you've had or something challenging then something you do really well, a simple/happy thought or a challenge you've overcome!

My main reason behind it is that no matter how hard we try, there is always something that challenges us or makes us feel a little down about ourselves. I thought it would be a good idea to share something negative then challenge that negative thing with something positive.

If you just wanted to share something positive that might go with someone's negative thought, that's great too. It's all about showing that with every bad thing, there is a good thing to go with it!

I'm hoping this isn't a terrible idea and that it might be something to make people feel good about themselves afterwards. There is only 1 way to find out!

@Harieo Hi, this is a nice idea! I just saw it, or would have replied sooner.

A negative thing I'm struggling with is fatigue, and tied into that, sitting down looking at my phone too much.

A positive thing is that I have a long weekend with opportunity to rest, and I have the choice to put my phone down and read a book.

Thanks for the thread, it is an interesting one, well done! yes

Negative: when i consider someone as being important i value their opinion or their feedback too much. So the risk is to feel a bit frustrated when the person does not perceive me same way.

Positive: i do not get stuck for too long in a situation like the above mentioned, i let it go addressing my thoughts elsewhere. I never try to convince nor to change someone's opinion to have the feedback i wish to have.

Cheers!!

I'm slowly losing someone who's very dear to me.

I have a newfound determination to learn new useful skills and become independent!

@archerzvy I'm sorry to hear that, I hope things get better with that person!

Independence is a great goal to work towards, I'm sure you'll get there in no time.

I trusted the wrong people as they seemed friendly to begin with and maybe i showed to many emotions and trust

I learned the hard way that no matter if feel you can trust someone ,best to not open up as It can come back and bite you so moral story is the positive if their is one is that lessons learned ,and hold back as people face to face sometimes things change and especially in groups of people friendships shift it is just people grow apart
