How can I change my Attitude?

Question

Everyone always gets this feeling that I'm always mad at them, or I hate everything!! I actually enjoy life, but I just don't act like it!! I'm not always peppy!! But I'm wanting to join the Cheer Squad!! What can I do to change the way people think about me? *The negative Me*

Answer 1

If there's a real problem with your attitude, life itself will take care of changing it.

The best thing you can do now is not to worry about what other people say or think about you.

And last but not least, about cheering squad

Do you want people think better of you, just to join it?

Or you want to join it just to make people think better of you?

Answer 2

Look at every one you meet and pretend they are much smarter than you. Even though they may not be (although some will) let them be right. Let them have the last word. Now that's not to say that you turn into a limp noodle but what it does is allow you to share the power with others. Don't cut them off while they are talking, don't one-up them when they make a suggestion. Give them credit. "I never thought of that before" or "That's a great idea" stuff like that. Get out of your self and let others have the glory. Try to be interested in what they think and feel, expand a little.

This way you wont seem stand-offish, self absorbed or overly dominant over others...Which are often times hard to see in ones self but there truly is a reason why people feel that way about you and I think we can both agree that it is not them that has the problem. They are not misinterpreting you, if you were a book, they are just reading your words back to you...and you don't like what you hear. Re-write the book.

Answer 3

Number One has it right. But to expand, to everyone you see - the first time you see them that day, say Hello or Good Morning. Don't wait for them to say it to you first.

Then, notice something about them that is worth a positive comment. You don't always have to say it, then, but just notice. If it is a new blouse, new hairstyle, nice smile, good makeup job (but say looking great today instead of "nice makeup job", etc. People will know what to expect from you.

They did not know what to expect from quiet, somber me, until I started doing the above, so they interpreted that I was unhappy or mad.

Answer 4

oh hell, just be yourself......if that is who you are then be that....do not change yourself to make society smile back at you.....in the long run, you'll be down on yourself like you are right now, but worse....and then later on in life you will be all pissed off with the way you treated yourself just to be "peppy" and (no pun intended) fake! good luck and best wishes!!

Answer 5

Think possitve thoughts. A famous person once said, "We are about as happy as we make our minds up to be." Now, get out there and see all of the wonderful things there are in this world.

Answer 6

don't say anything negative. and its not just in what you say, its in what you do and how you act. stand tall, skip down the hall with some friends (which is really fun!!) laugh more, wear bright colors!!! don't say anything like "oh great" or "uuugghhh" don't whine. say you get a pop quiz, just shout " YEAH!! woo-hoo!!!" get excited about anything and everything. if you don't think you're negative, then don't act like it!
