I would want to change my attitude..?

3

I’ve been very paranoid and stubborn and i cannot control my anger these days. i’m 12 if thats important. how could i change into a positive attitude?

In order for things to change, should you change your attitude?

What I mean is, for things to change positively.

For instance,
A person suffering through a depression who wants to overcome it should change their views and their attitudes in order for them to make a successful recovery.

Or,
Someone who doesn’t have many friends because of his roguish behavior and no one trusts him, should change his attitude and be more open and polite in order for people to respect him.

And even in a bad neighborhood or apartment complexes where there’s constant evictions, violence, threats, and drugs involved and the community and managers need to change their attitudes to make it a safer place.

Also if a high school student is failing and doesn’t really care, but notices that because of his carelessness, it’s tearing him and his family apart and getting him nowhere in life except with people who make even worse decisions such as doing drugs or being apart of a violent group. He should change his attitude and get his education in order for him to feel successful and happy.

So is it true, in that sense, that you must change your attitude about certain things in order to make a positive change?

Or is there another way of explaining it?

What can i do to seriously change my life for the better?

Have you ever been able to thoroughly change your attitude?

Everyone says attitude is everything, and I agree, but how long can you keep it up? If everyday you are repeating confirmations and putting in effort to be positive, eventually the truth of how you feel about things will come out one way or another, putting you back where you are. I think the only way to change your attitude is to change your situation, then your attitude will change naturally.

People have an energy, whether it’s positive or negative. How can I change mine?

I notice, when people gravitate towards another person, that person tends to own a positive, charismatic energy. They generally like being around them, but what I’m trying to figure out is what is so special about this person? What gives them this fantastic ability to attract others even without trying?

I guess attitude and confidence has something to do with it. But it can’t all be about that. My energy is pretty much on the positive side, but I don’t really attract people constantly. I just don’t understand how certain people just have it, and others just dont.

How does one change their mindset from their past to be more positive?

I grew up with negative parents that had a negative outlook on life, which means I tend to be a negative person. Furthermore, I was teased in school growing up, have a hard time believing that anyone is fundamentally nice rather than fundamentally mean. Does anyone have any actual suggestions to keeping a positive outlook and how to repair that damaged psyche? I hear ‘keep your chin up” and, yada yada. But does anyone have a real answer as to what specifically has helped to change your thinking/attitude towards something?

How do I change my attitude at work?

I don’t really mind my job, but I can’t stand the atmosphere I work in…it’s very competitive and people are argumentative, always trying to make others look bad or wrong.
Also, I’m an agency employee and there’s a very bad attitude within the company about agency employees. I find it hard to be positive and not so bitter. Any suggestions?

How do i change my bad attitude?

I wanna change my attitude and become more positive.
I get annoyed easy and get irritated by people even though some of them haven’t done anything. Sometimes I don’t even talk at school just because I feel in bad mood. It feels like I have bad energy inside of me and I wanna get rid of it and become more happy and talk more!

Know of a book which discusses WHY people accumulate clutter and how to change their THINKING?

I’m not interested in another how-to-get-organized manual or tips or another organizational plan describing “cool” storage options at retail stores. I would like a discussion on the thought processes which cause the problem and how to change them. If you have an opinion on the subject, that is welcome too. Thanks.
Thanks everyone for your comments – especially Dr. W and missdipsy
