Negative thoughts are a fundamental part of the brain and help to be aware of reality without lies.

Negative thinking doesn’t attract bad energy, negative thinking helps being conscious about

reality, in human nature it is having this thoughts trying to hide them can cause not only mental

damage even physical damage.

According to Meg Selig (2019), negative thinking it’s realism. Life has bad and good moments,

lying to yourself about the bad moments makes you a hopeless optimistic. Things in life happen

even you want or not, thinking bad about certain things doesn’t make you a pessimist only a

realistic person. Having optimistic thoughts only can be dangerous cause when something really

bad happens you don’t now how to respond to this situations and this could lead you to a

pessimistic vision.

Suppressing thoughts is very common in these days, social media sends a very dangerous

message about negative thinking telling its bad when it’s completely natural. Trying to hide this

feelings to fit in can be bad for your physical and mental health. According to Florida State

University studies showed that those who suppress emotions experience greater stress during

conflict cause they manage a “super positive” environment and they don’t want to accept a

negative thing. Suppressing emotions is found to be a key contributor to mental disorders such as

depression, anxiety disorder, panic attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder.

“Focusing in negative things could bring consequences such as anxiety, for fear of carrying out

certain actions, the mentality and life will stagnate, they wouldn’t be new things for fear.”

Negative things aren’t that same as pessimism, forcing yourself to always look on the bright side

of things can become draining, and optimism can lead people to ignore the feelings that are

occurring at a deeper level. Unrelenting positive attitude can turn not only toxic, hiding your

emotions can cause a permanent damage to you. “Being positive all the time means that there is

no critical analysis taking lace or tacking stock of one’s current situation” Dillon says.

It’s un humans nature to expect the worst, in nature it’s a default position to survive. Negativity

is a self defense mechanism your mind has, trying to hide it can be dangerous and also you can

loss al sense of reality and start misperception of the possible things that can occur. Negativity is

realism, life isn’t a fairytale and people need to be realistic about that. Hiding emotions it’s

dangerous and would mark you for the rest of your life. “ Life is never straight forward, it often

throws curveballs, positivity is a good thing to have, but embracing the negative moments in life

is what keeps reality.” Helen Dion
