    I always wonder if obsessively negative people ever feel joy. Or are they just wired to carry around rage boners all the time. If it isn’t exhausting I just can’t see how they can be happy

      We are. We are just more prone to demand justice, for people to be non-imbeciles. We feel joy when something good happens, we just rarely express that openly, because we believe that nice things are as it SHOULD be. Nice is normal. No reason to dance around about something as banal as “things going right”. But we are angry about shit. More angry than most people who consider shit normal, but good things are something strange.

      We, “obsessively negative people”, are optimists.
