I tend to be a very positive person. Even when things look darkest . . Their is always tomorrow and who knows what it will bring? I also tend to be a listener all my kid and their friends come to me to listen to their drama. I am honest with what I see in their situation try to guide them and love them on matter what path they choose. :) that's so cool, penny, that you have such a good relationship with the young folks... how many children do you have? |

I'm basically an optimist. I do my best to be positive, because negativity doesn't really get you anywhere. I look for the silver linings in the clouds I encounter, because even if I don't find any silver, by the time I've ripped the cloud to shreds looking for it... well, usually there's no more cloud.
I'm both a listener and a talker, depending on the situation. I like to help people, and don't ever want to be a negative influence on someone's life. |

I try to treat others the way they treat me and hopefully I'm never rude to others when it is not called for...  I try to be positive not saying I always am...
You've piqued my curiosity with your reply, TxsGal... "hopefully I'm never rude to others when it is not called for." I've often questioned myself when it comes to my behavior towards others, on whether I handled a situation right or not.... and here you seem to agree that sometimes being rude is necessary? Can you give an example of when it's proper to react negatively? Every time I try to justify it to myself, I still feel guilty, but I've never asked anyone else how they handle it, so I can experience a different result... if you could offer some advice..... Hummm well actually it is hard to pin point at times when it is necessary. At times it seems that some just don't get the point or don't care too. Then you have to be straight forward with them.. Then there are times that some seem to feel being rude to others is okay due to they are online. Sorry but being online is not and excuse to be rude. And at times they need to be set straight as well... When I do say things back I try to do it in such a way that it is not being hateful but straight to the point. Can't help if at times it makes them look a bit stupid in the process... Some just don't take the time to think before they type their words towards others.... It is funny how more are actually ruder online then they would ever be in person... I have a big heart and would never intentionally hurt anyone... But push me in a corner and watch me come out with the claws full force...
Ohh and even though I'm very much a talker believe it or not I listen while I talk... 
 listening and talking at the same time... yeah, I have learned how to master that talent too...  Okay, as for being rude online, it can only be done via our written communications right? so, is there a socially acceptable difference between speaking rudely to someone via a private email, as apposed to creating a public scene via posting rude comments on the forums? And, if public displays of rudeness is being aired, is it possible to set it straight without appearing to be rude ourselves?

I like doin' things the normal way.... Huh? Normal? What's that?

I am normaly nice and polite but I tend to expect the worst outcome. I am trying to work towards having a positive when in trouble times. It is easier to tell someone it will turn out ok but it is hard the have faith that it will be ok when you are the one going through tuff times. I hear you, Metal Shadow, and you make an excellent point too... trying to remain positive during hard times is difficult, but all we can do is our best, and those we care for will understand... 
The biggest problem with some dark times is just not knowing what to do. Yes, I completely agree... and the not knowing makes things even more stressful...

Positive, all the way. And I never hold on to anger at others. I learned a long time ago, that only hurts me, they couldn't give a corkscrew. I find negative people a downer and avoid them when possible. They have to live with themselves, I don't. Naturally cheery, just my nature. Naturally agree with you too...  negativity has such a strong persona that it's almost impossible to avoid contact if it's anywhere in the vicinity... the vibes just carry...

Conciously I´m a positive person. I do believe in inconditional love, to appreciate people for who they are and not for what they have or what they think and stuff like that. Almost all of the time I vibrate in that energy, but I´m only human and I do get mad or sad or envious or cocky or vain or a lot things that to several people could think are bad. When I catch myself thinking that way o feeling that kind of things I just accept it, breath it and let it go. In the end we choose how we are going to react to things or situations. I choose to be positive and proactive =D. yes, you are describing our human frailties most succinctly... and I like how you just breathe it out, and remain proactive...

I am like the rose. Sweet, tHorny, stout, flexable, good for the soul. Rub me wrong, I slice and dice.
It is pretty narrow to assume folks will fit into one category. |

Winlei, you seem much too gentle to ever be unkind unless someone really pushed you hard enough... and then I imagine that you would even retort sweetly.. but then again, you could be a spitfire, and can dish out as good as you get... either way, I think you're precious, and am happy to have you as a friend...
