If a very negative person tried to change to a positive Attitude and never be negative again?

Interesting question! I don’t know if a person could change that much just by one act of will. If a person realize that his negativity annoyed other people, he might decide he should try to be less negative in the future. Usually the habits we have that bother others the most are things we’re not aware of ourselves, so just knowing and wanting to change is a good sign. But it might not be as easy as just -deciding- to change, it might take a while.

That’s a pretty loaded question. But you think about it would you rather be around a negative person or a positive person. Are you happy when your negative or when your positive. Don’t get me wrong in today’s world its hard to stay positive, but I’d rather be positive and oblivious, than negative and lonely. No you cant be positive all the time, although that would be nice. There is always going to that time when you want too choke somebody or Evan yourself.

People for the most part have set traits or believe they are a certain way and helpless to change it. Most of peoples life experiences make them who they are , so if someone had a tramadtic childhood upbringing, and then one day decide not to be angry about it , this whole attitude change could not happen over night. It could take several months even years. The upbringing is almost ingrained in the brains as a way of life. There would have to be a strong will to change and become healthier, and possible therapy to teach good positive thoughts and life choices,

Yes, it can happen. Some people are biggots, meaning they hate everything and everyone. But if you surround a negative person with positive people and things. The person can change. Or this person is going through a depression.
Back to keeping positive people and things around this person, find something this person enjoys or likes, and concentrate on that. Keep any alcohol, smokes, drugs away. Change his/her surroundings a little, a new plant, a pet, bird, something low maintentance, stress ball to squeeze, Oh yeah and most importantly, get them to watch comedies this is the best thing for the soul and spirit. Find out what are his/her favorite comedians and get the cd’s.
Or go to a comedy show. My mother doesn’t like comedies and is on the negative side, I joke with her, tell her jokes, she laughs and gets a kick out of me. Hope this helps.

it’s all about the words. Find one negative thing they do and try and change it to a positive. Or make them specific in their negativity. such as, someonesays,there is no love in the world!” You answer with the question,” you mean in all the people in all the world there’s not one that knows what love is?” If they say , ” well…..there may be one or two.” turn that into a positive. (humor helps) Say something like, “let’s go find ‘em.” small steps to bigger steps and bigger steps to the end.

Changing to a positive person is a very nice thing.Negetive outlook doesn’t help a person in his life but a positive outlook helps one to be much happier.
To change you must only have strong will and not give up in small difficulties.To be positive just look in everything with a positive point of view .try and see “what’s great about this thing” or “What New and great thing you can learn from this situation”.Search good things in people.Makes freind and just do what you like the most.
But being positive and negetive are two faces of the coin.
Everyone is negetive or positive about something,sometimes.
So,instead of forcefully trying to be positive in everything try and understand things better,think about it a bit and go with your heart.
You can always be positive.
The past doesn’t affect our life.

no they won’t, the question is if they can really be positive and never think of negative again, in my observations, changing is the most difficult thing to do, my dad and my grandma is negative, and they “enjoy” being negative, it’s like a spice of their life, they’ll be lonely if they won’t see people arguing (literally)
