We were raised with the negative thoughts, you can't do this, or it's to much for you to handle, you don't want that, you'll never make anything with that,! It just keeps going. Parents haven't a clue how harmful this is to a child. Because it is never ending. The Parents are negative, the friends are negative, spouses are negative. If a person wants to break the cycle, all their thoughts need to be on the positive side only. There are so many things that people CAN DO, but the thought process won't let them do it.

It's a matter of survival and is actually a vestige (meaning leftover) of our earlier life on this planet. By presuming that a predator (be it a sabretooth tiger or a rival tribesman) is "just around the corner", we can prepare ourselves to fight, flee or freeze (if we are overwhelmed).
Nowadays, negativism (which is far too prevalent imho) can help to insulate us from disappointment, although that certainly leaves little to no room for optimism, now doesn't it?

They don't always think negatively. Only negative people think that way. Positive people always find the good in everything. I think the problem is YOU.

Marcuse said it best "Man's thoughts often wander but seldom stray from the ultimate goal of refusing to recognize that the end itself is just the beginning"

not so. most people think positively, unless they have been harmed before, which answers your question.
