Are we predisposed to negativity?

Negative threads do seem to fill up more (and quicker) than positive ones

Do we just like a moan?

Is it easier to be negative than it is to be positive?

I think positive posts leave less room for discussion. You can only put so many times

Negative based posts tend to lend themselves better to conversation when a mixture of different opinions try to express themselves

I think majority probably are yes. Doesn’t help with the constant negativity from the media. But then I suppose that’s what sells newspapers.

Probably the same reason why we have daily deaths and cases rammed down our throats but we never hear the daily numbers of how many recovered or had it and had no issues at all.

A life lived to its fullest is fucking awesome, I think a lot of people on here need reminding of that more often

Many people put more emotion (more energy) in to running away from something (beliefs/values), than they do running towards something. It creates tired, unhappy people.

We are the product of our thoughts. We are the creators of dis-ease.

A good squabble on here is akin to negative excitement - for those involved, as well as the lurkers.

If I get a sense of it, I tend to move on. Drama triangles are not my bag. I'd rather migrate to where the good vibes hang out and get my buzz from RL.

Isnt a thought provoking thread open to discussion regardless if it’s positive or negative based? Surely it’s down to the reader to engage in either debate they feel they want to. I agree positive threads or discussions tend to

Be written in a short narrative. But then aren’t negative posts just a rant!

What is negative Bussy ?

I think it is used far too often and used to discredit people with a point of view that differs to the labellers.

Or do you mean Doom and Gloom Threads fill up more quickly.

I find people will call negative when a a point of view is expressed that they cannot understand or have no reasonable response to what's been asked.

Or if you won't give faux sympathy to something they are whining about.

No, I am trying to be less of a moaner, but I hate toxic forced positivity more…

So I think we should just feel emotions as they are. And learn to address and deal with them. That’s my opinion x

It's referred to as context collapse.

Offline, we choose where we want to go to be with likeminded people. We gather in the same spirit of interest. If we like an Avengers film, we watched in the same cinema amongst others of the same ilk.

Social media has placed us all in the same space to share ideas and discuss according to our mood or preferences. Unfortunately, those moods and preferences are wildly different and we let loose our frustration because we remain anonymous behind a screen. Sometimes, it's to entertain their friends, regardless of others who are in the same space with a different perspective.

We moan and attack those who have differing views rather than share what is of interest amongst likeminded individuals.

Something like that.

We need all points of view....

"Negative threads do seem to fill up more (and quicker) than positive ones

This concept of negativity constant theme through the forums?

The forums have simple rule, a negative thread is simply one that has a different opinion than another thread/post who believe their thread post a higher value.

"Negative thread" - is purely based on the subjectivity of the person who is calling it a negative thread.

"You have a different opinion to mine, as my opinion has more value yours must be negative.

Definition of negative thread/post = Your opinion is different than mine so you thread/post is negative.

Definition of positive thread/post = Your opining agrees with mine or sucking up to me therefor for your thread/post must be positive.

Personally I'd rather be constantly called a negative poster because I say it how it is, than a positive poster not believing a word of what I'm saying. Just saying it because I think it is want the targets want to hear.

We’ve disagreed on a thread, not that long ago. I didn’t consider you negative then, you just had a different opinion.

It doesn’t mean there isn’t negativity though, I just don’t equate it with differences of opinion.

I don’t necessarily think it’s people relishing negativity. The ‘positive’ threads here are often, not always, fairly sickly. The same folk complementing the same folk on a completely superficial level.

The forum will always be a reflection of its contributors so they ebb and flow depending on who is making the threads and who chooses to respond.

I prefer random chat and threads that make me ponder. So that’s what I concentrate on.

Isn't the point as 100 people in the forums what negative thread is and you'll get 100 different answers to what negative thread is based on their own opinion.

so as a above a negative thread/post simply is one that less value than the one who's opinion thinks its negative.

So negativity in the forums is purely subjective.

So does negativity actually exist - just saying it does not make it so.

It's waaay easier to be negative than positive. Part of what convinced me that it was time to take early retirement and voluntary redundancy was being surrounded by people who had fallen into a horrible cycle of constant, relentless negativity. It became impossible to avoid and I could feel myself teetering on the edge.

I see that here to an extent. If a thread starts off a certain way subsequent posts tend to follow suit until someone bucks the trend.

Relentless positivity is just as draining though. Finding a realistic balance is the trick in my opinion

I don't think starting a healthy debate is the problem rather maintaining it is . This is where the negativity comes in, so many people are unable to see the invisible "in my opinion" prefacing counter argument and take it as personal insult while many people are unable to make coherent counter points and use insult instead.

I agree with all of this.

In my mind positive threads are ones that engage the reader, welcome a difference of opinion without falling into fallacies or patronising. I enjoy the range of views on those threads. Some might think they are negative because not everyone agrees, no one pays compliments on their photos but I enjoy them.

As a societal whole I do think we're more likely to speak up about the negative rather than the positive, the positive has to be really good before we mention it.

Say for example we receive two types of service - one nice but not in a wow way, one that falls short of expectation. The latter is more likely to be referenced/mentioned.

Are negative ones really that negative though? I've seen ones on domestic abuse and yes people share their stories. But they also offer advice, comradery and I've been there I got through to the other side. So though on a superficial level I guess they are negative. But I think for some it's a positive.

Maybe it depends on which threads we are attracted to more?

I avoid the majority of threads, not because I do not think they have a place in here but they do not interest me as much and time to engage in a thread is limited.

Sometimes, we perceive something as negative when perhaps it is not meant in that way? We do not see the thoughts that surrounded the post before it was made either. Nor the personal messages that happen between people.

If I thought the forum threads were depressing I would not spend time here - the fact that I do means they must give me something, a chuckle, an idea... a moment of self-reflection whatever...

I expect negative threads in forums, most people like to complain, moan and criticise.

I sometimes reply on forums to try lighten the subject up a bit. I don't think having a different opinion to anyone else is a form of negativity either.

Personally I try and remain positive most of the time but obviously there are situations when you can't be.

Anyway I wish everyone a happy Friday

I don’t take it seriously and tend to scroll past the serious/mental health threads etc these days. That’s not why I come on here. I’m not one for airing my problems or letting other’s problems affect my mood but I do get that it helps people and there are some very supportive people on here. Some people just like the debates and seriousness and find the silly stuff childish. Everyone’s very different and that’s what makes it interesting in my opinion x

"Negative threads do seem to fill up more (and quicker) than positive ones
