This is gonna be a silly question, but can you be too happy or too positive? Okay, I know you're laughing. Alright? Keep laughing. Go ahead. Get it out of your system. Get it out. Can we be serious now? Thank you. Now we know you can be too sad, right? We have words for that. You're too sad or too angry? Was it depression? Anger management issues? Aggressive or emotional?
And he was telling me that he wants to avoid Negativity, right? Negativity is what got him on drugs, alcohol. He thinks of Negativity. He thinks about going back to drugs and alcohol, being violent, lying. So for him, sometimes I wonder if this is how he really feels, or is he just telling himself this so he can get by in life?

They only want to know that you're doing just fine. But there needs to be a time where you can talk about how you feel. There comes a point in time where you do need to have a person to which you can talk about how you've feel. And it's a trusted space, a safe space, but not everybody has that advantage, unfortunately, or that privilege. But yeah, thank you for responding

So they eventually stopped asking me because I thought it was a stupid question. What do you want me to say? I was distracted. I felt my heart stop. I was numb. I had GI upset, like, what do you want me to say? But versus it was an emotional service. Thank you for that

If we can expand that meeting to not be something that's only associated with negativity, but something that actually can be positive and kind of destroy the stigma attached to one who is emotional being a sense of celebration rather than always an admonishment of a charade. But anyway, thank you for responding. And like you, I also am trying reexamine my interpretations of other words. It's still dawning on me. But thanks for the response

Hello, Ann. I won't tell your mom, okay? I won't tell her how you feel about her. That her. And then you got the nerve to say you can't be too happy, but other people can. The nerve of you

Even throughout his childhood, he has always been a just naturally positive person. And I wouldn't say that it's too happy or too positive because I've probably seen him I wouldn't say extremely angry. I've seen him angry enough to where he was like, this isn't I don't like feeling this way type thing. And there's so far few in between. Like, it really takes him a lot

Why is it only if a building is burning and a person is happy, does that mean that they have overall wellness? I think we have been looking at negativity in the wrong light, Ann. I don't think it's a matter of us avoiding negativity. It's that we use negativity in the wrong way. Negativity negativity is something that we have it's there for a reason. How do you harness that negativity to keep it in balance with the positivity?

Hey, Dewuan. That's what I actually like about your responses and everything to these posts. Like even though I said what I said and I still agree with the Madrid thing that I said, just being able to think of it and have a different process and it's like I don't think it was at the forefront of my mind, but it does make a lot of sense. It's like we try to get away from nature negativity by replacing it with positive things
