It would be nice if everyone could lighten up but, we all know that wont happen.XD
I know what you mean. I'd love to see people chill out a little. Though knowing there are people like yourself who are sane and don't take out their frustrations with the limitations on others, well that just reminds me of why I like you in the first place. ^_^
Very well written essay there...maybe you should hold onto it for college applications!
There certainly is a LOT of negativity going on around here. I see it on myO sooooooooo much with this whole change. I do try and keep positive and that's the only thing that kept me staying on this site...I know many who got so upset that they left! I try and be positive but there's so many little things that just drive me bonkers on Worlds! lol! But...I do see how even this online community has effected people on a personal level and it effects their "real world" views. It would be nice if everyone could lighten up but, we all know that wont happen.XD
That really does sound like Crystia! o_O Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering her major and all. It is interesting to read though because it's so true. You really do have to look out for that.
That and who wants to be negative when you can be positive? I mean seriously. >_> Maybe that's why my friends call me Ditzy sometimes. But I can't help it, I tend to see the fun things first and then the annoying things next.
But then those annoying things often aren't worth the effort to stay angry over. Because as Crystia would say... Hanging on to resentment is letting someone live in your mind rent free...
And I have no idea how I just got off on this tangent. XD Later! ^_^
Heh, that sounds like something Crystia would post. But more seriously, I agree, that an interesting list. It's been said at OB, but it's always easy to be negative. Positive is harder, but definitely more rewarding.
I've seen that list before. Very useful and definitely makes you think when something upsets you. It's also a good tool to look back and think, hey, why am I reacting like this? Anyway, great post. ^_~

Heh, I'm well acquainted with that kind of stuff. And yes you're right, it's easy to do it and not even be aware of it.

Yeah... I probably do a lot of those things. I may not seem like it while I'm on here, but I tend to be a major cynic.
