Have you ever been in a relationship with a pessimist or a very negative person?

What did you do?

Any ideas on how to change their perspective?

they may be depressed. sex will likely help.
but they might also benefit from professional treatment!

im getting turned on by your picture

now I'm really turned on where's the off button?

Yes, and for too long.


Emotionally distanced myself, ultimately.



You can't. It's a form of misery that is incurable, until they're ready to change.

I say, that there is nothing like a good licking to cure all that is ticking, but then, thats just me!

I'm negative & my wife had serious issues before I met her, that just added to my negativety

prozac on their cheerios?

that's horrible s1ow... lol... i'm a negative person sometimes... but all it takes is a little effort from someone to show me that they care...

for you, mutual support, a loving environment, fun,
and affectionate touching...and a nice smile...

that's better than drugging my cheerios! hahaha

Yes, it is very trying. At first I would say and do everything I could think of to raise their spirits... you know... "hey, you can do anything, you are special and talented, etc...." Of course their answers and attitude would be even more negative responses and actions. It got to the point where it was seriously affecting my outlook. That is when I decided that I needed to step away and just be a friend. Until they are ready to look up once instead of always looking down, it is nearly impossible to change them. It is their life pattern and really only they can choose to change themselves... even though one stands helplessly by.

good point

Making them Positive is never going to help; aids hasn't ever helped anybo......oh look, a kitty!
