I’ve always believed that this trait in children is fine, but when adults do it, it’s aggravating. My best friend sees the glass as half empty sometimes and half full other times. This is also frustrating because I never know how I can talk to her, and I never know what story she’s going to tell me (she changes the things she’s said depending on what kind of mood she’s in).

Kids need to have that rosey outlook on life. They don’t need to know all the hardships, but once they become adults (or at least teenagers) they need to take off the rose colored glasses and see the world for what it really is.

It is so true. I lived that way for a long time; only I called it burying by head in the sand. Playing camel! Either way you can’t appreciate the good in your life until you confront the bad in the world. I hope some day he breaks his rose colored glasses.

I have a co-worker that is just the opposite. He refuses to see the good in anything. The glass is always half empty.

I don’t believe that either way of looking at things is healthy.

While I acknowledge the negatives in my life, this is only so that I can find a way to overcome them. I do not dwell on them. I see no point in making myself miserable. Sometimes I wish I could be cheery all the time.

Isnt that right on the money, its such an aggravating experience for the people around them. People use this method so they dont have to grow up or face the complex things in life….
