Not too long ago, when I was in the throes of a major depression, someone told me that I was unpopular, because people thought that I had a "negative attitude". This really irritates the hell out of me, because what they perceived as a "negative attitude" was one of the symptoms of clinical depression. Not only that, but has it ever occurred to some people that maybe some people have a "negative attitude" because of their life experiences? Not everyone's life is a cakewalk and not everyone has a reason to jump for joy or think that life is hunky dory, so people should take this things into consideration before they dismiss someone as having a "negative attitude".
