Think Negative

So you know when people tell you to think positive, and you’re all like “Of course! How did I not think of that!” And then you get better and live happily ever after. No you don’t because that doesn’t fucking happen and being told to think positive is kind of the most useless piece of advice ever.

And ultimately, why think positive anyway? So what if you are miserable and shit. Is there something so wrong with that? Why is there a need to be happier in the first place? If you truly accept who you are, and be yourself, and fulfill every cliche, then isn’t depression  just a part of that personal identity shit? And yeah if you want to change, go ahead and do some personal development. And if you don’t, being miserable should be okay. Why the fuck not?

Negativity is fucking useful. It means that when everyone else is getting excited over something stupid, you know that its stupid. Now should something being stupid mean that you shouldn’t get excited about it. Eh, maybe not. Still, it gives you magical critical thinking powers where you notice everything that is wrong when everyone else is focused on how fucking awesome everything and everyone is. You know that there are problems and that is useful, even if your being depressed means you have no interest in fixing them.

Also sometimes negativity makes you nicer, which is good if being nice is your kind of thing. It makes you notice all the shitty things about people, and while you judge them about it and think they’re stupid, you judge yourself more and think that you’re even more stupid so it’s easier to handle other people’s shit. Plus you don’t think you deserve any better, so you’re willing to put up with other people’s assholery all the more.

Not to mention that being depressed makes you an egalitarian because you hate everyone equally! Including yourself, so you’re not even a hypocrite! Which is a lot more than can be said for the asshole telling you to think positive before he goes off and whines to his dick buddies about some small insult.

So think negative. There’s nothing wrong with it. If you want to stay down in your hole, stay down in your hole. That’s your decision, and it doesn’t matter what some positive fucker says, you get to make your own fucking decisions. And if you want to change, then there’s a lot of bullshit out there dedicated to helping you do that to. And if you want to go back and forth, enjoying the natural up and down cycle of life, or some shit like that, do that too. Be as miserable as you want. Because your life is about you, and you choose what you want to do with it.
