[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I complain or discuss negative aspects of my life more than others. I asked my therapist about it. She saw no issue. She says I grew up in an east coast culture that does it more. I was living and interacting with more western-US people who don’t.

I told her I think my culture does it more because ‘that’s the interesting stuff.’ So I have a good life, so I want to talk about the stuff that isn’t. That’s where there’s interest and nuance and questions to mull over with other people.

I wish others would do it more. [/quote]

I'm the same.  I recently have made a point of not doing that.  Age I think is a big part of it. I bite my tongue. I'm trying to be more optimistic and bite my sarcastic, pessimistic tongue.

I really made great strides this year. I think in part, stress is lifting as my kids approach college--almost to empty nest.  It's just a good time.  I actively re-frame my mindset. My husband is naturally more optimistic and I try to feed off that instead of bringing him to my side.[/quote]
