How do you handle the bad in life?

[MarisaMatsu]

1. Start thinking positive. I learned in psychology class that when you're in a negative mind, you're gonna continuously think of other negative stuff. So, even if I feel stupid trying to be super peppy positive, it ends up working in the end. Plus, with this positive mindset, you'll think of other positive stuff.
2. Do something that makes me feel good. For example, I got a bad test grade. Okay. I'll say "at least I'm alive" and pat myself on the back and treat myself to a chocolate or something.

I seem to have the opposite view of most people here, as I don't think there is a reason to be good or bad. Life ends regardless of what you do, if you want to make it miserable for other people, go for it, if you want to spend your time trying to improve the world, do that. Nothing you do matters whatsoever, so be "evil" or "good" as you see fit.

Well, you could also think 'Why be evil when there will always be good people trying to stop you'. To me it's really about morals and which way your heart pulls you. One could say it's easier to be evil which I do agree with, but it's also a lot harder to ignore your heart when you're genuinely a good person at your core who gets pleasure from helping others. I handle the bad in life by creating more good.

I hate thinking about bad things so I just try to avoid negative mojo. I am an extremely positive person by nature and I have a moral drive to make the world (well, MY world) better and a feel good place. I sometimes feel like the embodiment of love, hugs and butterflies, even though I've gone through a rough patch. Whenever I have to face something morbid, I just try to think about carrying on the deed for those who can't do it, only because the world can't be nice all the time.

The way I avoid bad is by distraction, I don't like moping about anything so if anything bad happens I like to take my mind off of it any way I can. I use that time to really say "Hey, I'm having a bad time so I need to do some stuff for ME." So I'll maybe buy myself a new game, or binge watch a tv show, just really do stuff that will make me feel better. I also like talking to some friends or even asking them to hangout if they can so I can have a good time. If it's really bad and I need to talk about things I almost always go to friends and vent, Its good to let the feelings out sometimes and even if you don't want to bother a friend I'm sure they're more than happy to and there's also plenty of places where you can to it anonymously. If someone is the one making you feel this way it's good to cut off ties as well, you don't need negativity in your life so I like to cut off toxic people or if I can't because they're unavoidable, like family, I try not to pay them any mind and only talk if directly spoken to, if they try to spout mean things, I ignore it. Hard times can get to you, but please remember you can always pick yourself back up! It's always important to remain true to yourself though. Even if you're surrounded by evil/bad/mean people don't let them change you into one of them, we have enough of those people as it is, and if you treat everyone with kindness and compassion, someone else will do that for you, it definitely gives you so much more rewards than being a butthead. At least that's the way I see things. I also just really enjoy the feeling that being kind to other people gives me. And if I could make someone's day or even make it just a little better, I would probably do it in a heartbeat.

I try to turn bad situations into good ones and be there for the people who are affected by it.
More personally, it's important for me to not put the blame on others and find an outlet for myself.
