NEGATIVITY=NEGATIVE

as much as the world is surrounded by positivity, unfortunately it is also enveloped with all things negative. yin and yang.

however, it is frustrating when all you can see around you is negative. and people surrounding you dont help either. maybe im just being close minded to "feedback". but people have to minimize soliciting negative feedback and learn how to give positive ones.

like my dad for example. HE'S AN AVID BELIEVER OF REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY - you know, insulting you and bringing you down in order for your defenses to work and make you behave the opposite of what he says (which is the desired behaviour really).

but the problem is, he doesn't see that this kind of strategy don't work for me. coz i'm not a defensive person naturally. i am the type to appreciate positive feedback and tend to believe in negative feedback - which is catastrophic to my self-esteem. that's why i always get into nasty fights when he starts opening his mouth...

i believe that if all people learn how to give constructive criticism, this world will be a better place to live in.
