unless you are completely positive and saying positive things in chat and come across like the nicest person in the world and your personality is just as warm as the rays of the sun them selves people see you as being negative.
for me i have had this issue all my life. i am some what anti social. i hate small talk , i think it is fact and false and pointless, i dont like being force to be polite just to be polite. some say im negative i say im not im a realist if something looks like shit and smells like shit then i call it shit i dont put a positive go lucky glass half full spin on it. if something sucks then by all means it sucks.
we need to quit living in a world of medication and mode/emotion stabilzers just cuz you dont think happy thoughts and dont want to be friendly.
im not rude, i dont say offensive things. but due to the complete emotional apathy i have im perceived as a negative nancy.
but still i carry on cuz i am Mr Fawkn Sunshine.
