  I don’t really know where I was going with this nor do I care enough to read/revise it for any errors.

  We as human beings sometimes mistakenly compare how we feel to the way others behave. Inevitably, most others will behave more happily than the way we feel. So we conclude that no one can feel as bad as we do. This creates a vicious circle and gives rise to lower self esteem. It’s something unique that would not have naturally evolved nor made by any ordinary process. Dwelling on the negative is like a cancer. It grows and gets worse until it becomes all but impossible to force yourself to think differently when you feel so negative. One solution, if we can’t change the situation ourselves, is to change our attitude toward things. One way to do this is to figure out all the positive things we can do, which may be difficult at first. If this solution is fraught with hardship, you might need to enlist in the help of others. Keep in mind that when you’re partly causing yourself to feel worse, some people feel better by blaming anything and everything around them… but that often times will end up just making you feel worse. When you feel bad, you’ll feel the need to attack something just to unload those negative feelings. The problem is, however, that this does not really offer a long term solution even if it provides immediate relief. You need, instead, to look at what you can do to alter how you perceive things in the first place. This means finding a more positive way of viewing both yourself and your situation.

  In my opinion, a more useful tactic would be to spend time doing and thinking about the things that get in the way of our focus on the negative. Do things that are constructive. Achieve things that take effort… since you can’t decvelop a sense of achievement with no effort at all. Achievement is one of the surest ways to bring yourself up while dwelling on ourselves is one of the surest ways of staying down.
