Illustrated Closet Negativism

in #art6 years ago (edited)

I want to send a very warm greeting to you dear readers who opened this publication at this precise moment, I hope everyone is in the best way!

     This time I come to talk to you about the disturbing "closet negativism" and many of you may ask, what do you mean by "closet negativism" ?, It turns out that talking to several people I have noticed that many are quite pessimistic, hiding his pessimism after phrases such as: "I'm not negative I'm realistic" or titles like: "the pessimists are very well informed realists", arguments that are quite wrong in my humblest opinion; because although in life not all eventualities arise quite well, but it is no less true that many people constantly seek to see the negative side of EVERYTHING or always seek to judge all things by their unfavorable aspects or variables; To explain better this topic that I consider quite ambiguous, I made some illustrations that I hope you like.

Let's start:

     In our life we ​​are always going to find ourselves with things that we do not like and disappointments, it is normal and it is really good, everything is part of each of the processes that we have to live to forge ourselves as people facing the immense reality that surrounds us, the which It is definitely is not good to think that constantly each and every one of your actions will go wrong without even having tried something. Those followed by negativism as ... "Philosophy of life" are those believers that if something or someone is likely to go through a bad event, something bad will happen to that person, in other words "if it can get worse, it will get worse".

     This type of thinking is quite common in today's world, pessimism has become fashionable and manifests itself in young people and adults "wanting to die", yes friend, I know, the world is wrong but your negativity will not make This world will improve and much less improve your attitude to really bad situations, let's be realistic not pessimistic.

To better understand the concept of pessimism, I will leave a small explanation here:

Pessimism is a mental attitude in which an undesirable outcome is anticipated from a given situation. Pessimists tend to focus on the negatives of life in general.

     Knowing the above, one can say that pessimism is posited as the philosophical system that attributes to the universe the greatest possible imperfection. This means that, for the pessimists, we live in the worst of all possible worlds. The pessimistic philosophers maintain that human beings must recognize that they know nothing, they are nothing and they can not achieve anything. Therefore, life has no purpose.

     For example, many religions are based, in a certain way, on the "pessimistic doctrine" because they recognize the existence of Evil in the world (and that is good since there must always be a balance between good and evil), they minimize the existence human before the divine entities. However, they leave the door open to some kind of redemption (following the commands of the gods, among others). For after death. Although the previous example has been somewhat strong, it is only a vision of some religions where humans are minimized over all existing entities, being the human being something useless and even miserable. I want to make it clear that I respect all religions, before this content is misinterpreted.

Causes of Pessimism:

     One of the many reasons for what seems one of the pandemics of today is to pay more attention to the bad things that happen to us than to the good ones and also the consumption of news and highly negative information.

     Another reason is the incredible technological progress and the propagation of negative information through mass media that make all information arrive in minutes to each user around the world, but HEY technology is not bad, it has made us learn more easily and more efficiently, in reality humanity has always been a chaos that we did not know before because there were no means to distribute information so quickly; friends, you have to know how to take things, not everything goes in "decadence", there have always been problems around the world, you just have to learn how to channel those negative contents, the internet while generating more educated people also produces individuals more sensitive.

     And guess ... the chemical functions of our brain are also involved with pessimism, as I said, most remember more negative than positive things about themselves, which causes the "alerts" to be activated in the brain and, therefore, So, always be attentive. for something inconvenient, whereas when we remember positive things, the brain simply relaxes and the warning functions diminish, as well as the "anticipation" of the unfavorable facts.

     Each person has their own problems to be receiving more negativism through others, because many are prone to becoming depressed, which is really unfortunate, because this disorder is gaining more and more strength in recent years. Each of us has bad and good days, ugly and beautiful moments, but that is not an excuse to concentrate only on the bad things, because we really do not gain anything with that, as I once told a good friend:


"If trying to be happy is not worth it, it's not worth being constantly sad either."

something I learned when positing positivism to a pessimistic person:

     I do not really consider myself someone who uses positivism in his day to day, because like all of you I have been quite pessimistic at times, but one day, talking to a rather pessimistic friend, I decided to do it and asked him what he thought of him about positivism . he replied that he did not like it because it seemed too unreal to which I replied that pessimism is not realistic to take for "wrong" all situations that have not happened, happen or will happen in life, because not really everything in life en Evil and pessimism like positivism blind us, many pessimistic people believe that they are right when something bad happens that they anticipated, but no, maybe something bad happened, but it has nothing to do with their constant negativity and way of thinking.

     People who think of this way are usually quite sensitive to their environment but obviously negative, badly influencing many people who are in their environment, these actions are due to their pessimism, really pessimism in something very strong try and more when the pessimist is convinced that nothing can go well with him and no one else.

So ... is it possible to help a pessimistic person?

     Let me tell you that a person can only be helped if she wants to be helped, in that case let her see the little positive things that happen in her environment and in the world, let her see that life is not as bad as he believes and that everything has possibilities to improve. But ... ATTENTION!, it is important that you listen to it, listen to everything that him have to say perhaps through their words you can realize why that person became so negative, maybe their social, cultural or other context have something to do , remember that humans are sensitive to what happens to our surroundings and that we do not all process the events that happen in the same way.

     It is important that you know the priority that symbolizes being understanding before people who are prone to pessimism, because although often only say negative things, we do not know why it says and what happens in the life of this person. This article I have done so that you know a little more about this current issue as it is pessimism, we can see in our day to day and even as a joke on the Internet.

     And remember, we are all prone to suffer for this evil, but that does not mean that we should "poison" others with our criteria, negative thoughts, we are human and we are free to feel what we want, but let's try our fake "realism" It will not destroy us and put an end to the hope that exists in each one of us.

Awesome article! It is hard to not go so hard on yourself or let other peoples opinion brings us down! I take it you are an artist?

Well, what I want to convey from this content is that pessimism attacks us all and nowadays it is very common to see that many people are negative, what is not good is to make another feel bad for our thoughts. Well, I illustrate and I like to illustrate the contents that I upload. Thanks for appreciating my work!

No worries! And that is so true right we all may fall in to a negative mindset, to that some people stay there. But keep it up I love what you are trying to convey in your art!

Fighting for our well-being is part of life and it is important to feel better about ourselves and transmit that binestar to others. A big hug for you!

Oh I see!

hello very interesting article i like your little illustrations as well that makes it even nicer to read. It is interesting because i realized last week that im letting negativity come to me while everything around me is going pretty good, while a few months ago i was in a very difficult situation emotionally and physically but I was very positive and that was what made me keep up. it is an everyday work to maintain positivity it is so easy to let the dark side taking over:D

Yes, without a doubt it is important not to let bad moments take over what we feel. It is important that we understand that you have to have balance, it is difficult, but you have to try. Thank you for sharing this piece of your reality with me. Get a big hug!

Thank you, I'm working every day on maintaining the balance:Di send you some hug from australia:)

wooow, from Australia? awesome, someday I would like to travel and meet! many, many, many good vibes!

I also tend to be pessimistic at times and it really bothers me. Especially when the weather is bad for long time, so is my mood and perception of the world. The thing is that even though I tend to be pessimistic sometimes (everyone does in my opinion) I usually try to help pessimistic people to see the world through more 'colorful glasses'. Not everything is black or white.

You are right with the media. I stopped watching the news as they were making me depressed. All what they were showing was related to horrible things happening everywhere in the world. I feel much better when I know less to be honest :)

I agree with being careful while talking to such people. We should absolutely avoid judging as we don't know their situation. I truly believe that no one choose to be pessimistic. Something must have happened to them and this is the impact that it had on their personalities.

Thank you for bringing this topic. I have enjoyed your articles and was nodding my head in agreement along reading which is a good sign :)

Have a good day!

Of course, thanks for your invaluable support is important for me and this comment, I like that it has inspired you in something to express what you thought through this writing. I believe that good energies are fundamental to our lives and promoting them through a mental balance is of the utmost importance.

I believe in our modern day we see pessimism in developed countries more often then in developing country and this is a paradox. Normally you would think that they should be sad and pessimistic and have no inspiration to do anything but they are hard working for every single day, always smiling and open, ready to share their last meal with someone who is hungry and at the end when you ask then if they happy they say : of course I am happy. Our western society have everything in excess that is why we are almost bored do not have any stimulus, we know that we will have our food, social help and medical service and even then we see so many people suffering on depression and pessimism.
I agree with you, we can help then if they ready for that without their wish you can’t break through that think wall there always will be some reason why the person would be not happy to do this or that. That is like with the head against the wall. Like your article that usually lighten ups a good discussion :)

It's a good article but I can find a vital flaw in your logic. You've made the assumption that being happy and optimistic is always the best way to be. In my country there is a saying that,

"The Irish are never happy unless they are miserable."

Pessimism is a mental attitude in which an undesirable outcome is anticipated from a given situation. Pessimists tend to focus on the negatives of life in general.

Sometimes it's ok to be negative and grumpy. It's good for the soul. People who are overly happy and optimistic tend to scare us over here. It's just not natural. There needs to be a nice balance.

Not at all, dear friend, what I say is that you always have to have a balance, between what is the positivism and the negativism that we all have inside. Being constantly negative can make you distort your notion of reality and be constantly positive can also make you lose the notion of what is real and, on the contrary, I like to share that phrase with me, in fact, is quite interesting. . Precisely how you finally say that the existence of a balance is extremely fundamental. Maybe I did not know how to explain well up there. Thanks for your comment and for seeing my content. Regards!

Una vez me dijeron que un pesimista es un optimista con experiencia. Jajaja pero sin duda alguna ser pesimista no sirve de mucho, porque implica quejas, juicios, culpas y eso no es sano para nuestro ser. Te felicito por este trabajo Oriana, tus ilustraciones tambien son muy geniales.

Te escribo en español porque seguro me expresaré mejor y porque si, jajaja. Saludoss

Muchas gracias por tu apoyo. Hago las ilustraciones con mucho amor para poder transmitir lo que quiero que entiendan a través del artículo <3 <3 <3. Me gusta hablar de éstos temas. !Saludos y mucha buena vibra!
