Why do some people always have negative words for everyone?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people 1 month ago

I just wanted to hear your views on this. I know some people who never can appreciate anything or anyone however much an action, a gesture or personal merit warrant a good word of praise, recognition or admiration [respectively]. They find it difficult to give a heartfelt appreciation.
Why do you think this is so?

Two kinds of people are there in approach. Optimistic and pessimist. Pessimist people always looks towards the dark side and they find negative in everything. They always want to criticize everything. Perhaps you have refereed here about the pessimist people. That is the characteristic of pessimist people.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Apart from pessimsm that looks only at the gloomy side of anything I see some people always being very critiical of everyone and everything except themselves. THis was what I was referring to.THanks for the response.


myLot reputation of 82/100. Aaleexix (497)   ranked 4,325 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

With their unnecessary criticism they spoil the situation. They are never satisfied in anything and always try to blame other. It is a very bad habit. And those people are habituate to annoy other.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Avery valid point-I have seen these people never accepting blame for nay fault and would try to be very defensive and smart.


myLot reputation of 82/100. Aaleexix (497)   ranked 4,325 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

But they are very adamant nature. And never want to accept the valid point. They are blind and never consider anything other then their own view.

I have also experience these types of persons many times, I think this type of persons having lot of negative energy with them and better to stay away from these type of personality. But friend true that it is better that some one is finding mistakes of ours so that we will improve a lot. but i find it very disgressing and my confidence goes to low


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

The best way to handle such people is not to lose our confidence.The greater confidence we show the less they would say bad words.I ahve found thsi by experience.

It is told that when you are moving around with people who are negative in their thoughts and actions, it is very likely that you end up being one too. So, it is best to either try and make them positive or stay away from them....I hate negativity of any kind confusedthere is enough hardship in life and if you are sitting around with a long face it is definitely not going to help you or anyone else.....what do you all say?blink


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Absolutely true Kiran.I too hate this whining and negative cribbing or not being able to say a word of appreciation.

I think they do so out of ignorance, not realizing that we only get in this life the things that we have the capacity to appreciate.

They do not realize either, that wise people will avoid their company as long as they persist in this behavior. These people often have low self-esteem which is perpetuated by their negative behavior, and so it becomes a downward spiral and they would take us down with them if we let them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Thanks for the great response as usual .Is it a low selfesteem or a high self esteem drannh? This is something that confounds me.I too have htought that this arises out of some inferiority complex ; but subsequent behaviour of people whom I have observed for years together has also led me to believe that this arises on account of some inbuilt superiority .


myLot reputation of 95/100. drannhh (7919)   ranked 4,039 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

I think that only extremely LOW self-esteem would cause a person to try to pretent they are better than others. Everyone has something special to give in life and those who can look at others and only see something inferior are in my opinion too occupied with their own selves. I think only people who feel insignificant inside would go around trying to make the world view them as "important."

They have an inbuilt sense that something is lacking in their lives, but those whose lives truly are full and rich do not need to pose as superior ;-)


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Excellent elaboration.I understand what you have said and I wholly agree with this[I can relate to this particular characteristic I saw in the people Iwas mentioning]


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (8183)   ranked 5 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

I agree totally with drannh there! Low self esteem makes us do and say stuffs that people with normal esteem won't. It's extremely sad though.

I too came across such people. This attitude of theirs may be due to ego or may be they are having inferiority complex. Some other people think too much of themselves and so they can not imagine of appreciating others either for their action or the person themself.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Exactly Vathsala! I waas just writing this in my comment to drannh. Either it si too much of a superiority or an inferiority complex.

Hi Kala!happy
Very Good Post!
I think those who use negative words are always governed by negative thoughts; they just cannot think some thing positive. Using negative words and belittling others give them a kind of sadistic pleasure. By using negative words, they wish to show that they are superior to others. I think those talk in a negative manner may have some friends like them, who also think and spread negativity. I refrain from using negative words for any of my near and dear ones, either on-line of off-line. I believe in positive things and always try my best to use positive words to spread happiness. I feel that words of appreciation do wonders to others and they (others) feel glad to hear accolades. I know me using negative or derogatory words could hurt the feelings of others and this can lead to bitterness in relations.
Have a great day!happy
Deepak

And that was a very good responseDeepak! It si a pleasure reading your response..How right you are! DOes it give people some pleasure in belittling others? And what I cannot understand is thAT these said people would not have some extraordinary merit themselves [have seen them for a very very long time and have always wondered whether jealousy made them behave this way Deepak--jealousy can spring on account of any number of factors isn't it?
I know you are a very positive person and you always give and accept praise with good grace.And it does not cost much to give a heartfelt word of praise.


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9431)   ranked 588 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Many thanks Kala for positive feed back on my response.
I feel happy to read your comments. You always keep encouraging me and don't forget to appreciate my response. Yes, you are right that jealosy factor could also make some people think negative, actually some negative traits are inter-related like jealousy, suspicion, distrust and envy and we come across such people on many occasions occasions in our life, who always appear dissatisfied with their lives and want to belittle others. They are in more pain to see happiness of others then their own sorrows.
Have a nice day!
Deepak


myLot reputation of 90/100. kiran8 (1491)   ranked 1,087 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

They are in more pain to see happiness of others then their own sorrows....well put deepak, thats exactly what it is.But come to think of it we start our life with negative feelings.A child encounters 'No' for eveything from its mother and others.Dont touch that,dont go there, dont do that, dont sit there...or else it is commanded to do something, do this now or eat it now...You know we fill negativity in life by our actions, so as we grow up we are scared of doing anything at all lest we fail....But , in some with circumstances and by coming across with different kinds of people this trait might become less but the opposite might be the case with others...


myLot reputation of 92/100. dpk262006 (9431)   ranked 588 out of 24,077 in people  3 weeks ago

Kiran!
It is true to a great extent that we inherit negative thoughts and
negative thoughts from our parents/siblings/other family members,
and those thoughts get settled in our sub-conscious brain and
when we grow up, we react/act accordingly.
Deepak

Maybe they are perfectionist, sad to say there is no perfect in this world. Only my friend is perfect, Mr.Perfecto.There is a psychological patterns on this. Maybe in their childhood they seldom receive recognition and often times they got criticism from the people around them,and that they loose the feeling of appreciation.

Another case is that maybe they are boastful and over confident that they think they are more good than the subject or they think they can make it better than any one else.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

True .There may be any nuber of reasons behind their behaviour.But there is no MR OR ms Perfect in this world.IT wuld be better if everyone realises this but well, what each does is to one's own.We can only keep away.

Some people are simply just born critics, who take pleasure in (proverbially) knocking other people down.

It can be down to a whole host of different motives, everything from satire to envy depending upon the individual. When it is mainly derived from satire, then they can actually be good company - once in a while at least!

One other aspect to your question are those people never fail to offer praise (permanent flatterers as against permanent critics), even when it is not deserved. Maintaining my balanced view of the world, I am equally sceptical of a lot of these people as I am of the permanent critics!


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

oF COURSE I agree with your last statement.Don't we know when we see false praise?Similarly I cannot stand these born critics too - armchair critics rather.
And for the 'satire' part I do not agree especially if it becoems an invective.

It is quite strange some people never speak good of others and would only be uttering foul comments. It is part of human nature,perhaps.

Well .True that it takes all sorts of people to make the owrld.But not all people are like that.

well Kala some people are pessimists and its difficult for them to accept/agree to others point of view.They have a highly active ego and and feel that they are always right.They fail to appreciate the goodness or good gestures of others,and are more keen to find fault with others than be generous with their praise....I guess its in their nature and we have to accept them for what they are since its difficult to change them for the better....sad


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Don't I know this? I have seen this for a very long time with som e people and was wondering about this trait.Well you say it is on account of pessimism.The first response also said the same thing though there have been oter aspects discussed.
We natutally have to accept them Rose.THere is no second opinion about that and personally this does not bother me ;it would only make the concerned person miserable and each to one's own.I was only wondering about the reason or some complex behind this.


myLot reputation of 98/100. ilovechocolate (761)   ranked 3,303 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Perhaps, they are hardly appreciated that's why they behave that way. Bitter,pessimist and jealous. They want to be noticed so they find other person's flaws.By doing this, they think could draw people's attention to them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. kalav56 (2160)   ranked 448 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

Jealousy is very much a part of this.And it is sad and to their own misery.


ranjan001 (37)   ranked 10,002 out of 24,077 in people  1 month ago

The main reason could be that these kind of people probably had very critical
parents.Such people received little praise but were quite used to criticism either of themselves or others.
