I want to send a very warm greeting to you dear readers who opened this publication at this precise moment, I hope everyone is in the best way!
This time I come to talk to you about the disturbing "closet negativism" and many of you may ask, what do you mean by "closet negativism" ?, It turns out that talking to several people I have noticed that many are quite pessimistic, hiding his pessimism after phrases such as: "I'm not negative I'm realistic" or titles like: "the pessimists are very well informed realists", arguments that are quite wrong in my humblest opinion; because although in life not all eventualities arise quite well, but it is no less true that many people constantly seek to see the negative side of EVERYTHING or always seek to judge all things by their unfavorable aspects or variables; To explain better this topic that I consider quite ambiguous, I made some illustrations that I hope you like.
Let's start:
In our life we are always going to find ourselves with things that we do not like and disappointments, it is normal and it is really good, everything is part of each of the processes that we have to live to forge ourselves as people facing the immense reality that surrounds us, the which It is definitely is not good to think that constantly each and every one of your actions will go wrong without even having tried something. Those followed by negativism as ... "Philosophy of life" are those believers that if something or someone is likely to go through a bad event, something bad will happen to that person, in other words "if it can get worse, it will get worse".
This type of thinking is quite common in today's world, pessimism has become fashionable and manifests itself in young people and adults "wanting to die", yes friend, I know, the world is wrong but your negativity will not make This world will improve and much less improve your attitude to really bad situations, let's be realistic not pessimistic.
To better understand the concept of pessimism, I will leave a small explanation here:
Pessimism is a mental attitude in which an undesirable outcome is anticipated from a given situation. Pessimists tend to focus on the negatives of life in general.
Knowing the above, one can say that pessimism is posited as the philosophical system that attributes to the universe the greatest possible imperfection. This means that, for the pessimists, we live in the worst of all possible worlds. The pessimistic philosophers maintain that human beings must recognize that they know nothing, they are nothing and they can not achieve anything. Therefore, life has no purpose.
For example, many religions are based, in a certain way, on the "pessimistic doctrine" because they recognize the existence of Evil in the world (and that is good since there must always be a balance between good and evil), they minimize the existence human before the divine entities. However, they leave the door open to some kind of redemption (following the commands of the gods, among others). For after death. Although the previous example has been somewhat strong, it is only a vision of some religions where humans are minimized over all existing entities, being the human being something useless and even miserable. I want to make it clear that I respect all religions, before this content is misinterpreted.
Causes of Pessimism:
One of the many reasons for what seems one of the pandemics of today is to pay more attention to the bad things that happen to us than to the good ones and also the consumption of news and highly negative information.
Another reason is the incredible technological progress and the propagation of negative information through mass media that make all information arrive in minutes to each user around the world, but HEY technology is not bad, it has made us learn more easily and more efficiently, in reality humanity has always been a chaos that we did not know before because there were no means to distribute information so quickly; friends, you have to know how to take things, not everything goes in "decadence", there have always been problems around the world, you just have to learn how to channel those negative contents, the internet while generating more educated people also produces individuals more sensitive.
And guess ... the chemical functions of our brain are also involved with pessimism, as I said, most remember more negative than positive things about themselves, which causes the "alerts" to be activated in the brain and, therefore, So, always be attentive. for something inconvenient, whereas when we remember positive things, the brain simply relaxes and the warning functions diminish, as well as the "anticipation" of the unfavorable facts.
Each person has their own problems to be receiving more negativism through others, because many are prone to becoming depressed, which is really unfortunate, because this disorder is gaining more and more strength in recent years. Each of us has bad and good days, ugly and beautiful moments, but that is not an excuse to concentrate only on the bad things, because we really do not gain anything with that, as I once told a good friend:
"If trying to be happy is not worth it, it's not worth being constantly sad either."
something I learned when positing positivism to a pessimistic person:
I do not really consider myself someone who uses positivism in his day to day, because like all of you I have been quite pessimistic at times, but one day, talking to a rather pessimistic friend, I decided to do it and asked him what he thought of him about positivism . he replied that he did not like it because it seemed too unreal to which I replied that pessimism is not realistic to take for "wrong" all situations that have not happened, happen or will happen in life, because not really everything in life en Evil and pessimism like positivism blind us, many pessimistic people believe that they are right when something bad happens that they anticipated, but no, maybe something bad happened, but it has nothing to do with their constant negativity and way of thinking.
People who think of this way are usually quite sensitive to their environment but obviously negative, badly influencing many people who are in their environment, these actions are due to their pessimism, really pessimism in something very strong try and more when the pessimist is convinced that nothing can go well with him and no one else.
So ... is it possible to help a pessimistic person?
Let me tell you that a person can only be helped if she wants to be helped, in that case let her see the little positive things that happen in her environment and in the world, let her see that life is not as bad as he believes and that everything has possibilities to improve. But ... ATTENTION!, it is important that you listen to it, listen to everything that him have to say perhaps through their words you can realize why that person became so negative, maybe their social, cultural or other context have something to do , remember that humans are sensitive to what happens to our surroundings and that we do not all process the events that happen in the same way.
It is important that you know the priority that symbolizes being understanding before people who are prone to pessimism, because although often only say negative things, we do not know why it says and what happens in the life of this person. This article I have done so that you know a little more about this current issue as it is pessimism, we can see in our day to day and even as a joke on the Internet.
And remember, we are all prone to suffer for this evil, but that does not mean that we should "poison" others with our criteria, negative thoughts, we are human and we are free to feel what we want, but let's try our fake "realism" It will not destroy us and put an end to the hope that exists in each one of us.
