The single most undeniable reason for thinking negatively about yourself and other people is lying to yourself and living below 500 on the life scale. The life scale is goes from 0-1000. Men and Women that live below the 500 mark are suffering from self defeating beliefs and actions. Self-deceived analytical people observe life from within the box. The problem with self-deceived negative thinking people is that they are unaware that they are being swindled. They don't think they are wrong hence everybody else has to be wrong. They are blind to solutions or self improvement options that would bring them out of their box and experience life above 500. Self-deceived negative thinking individuals that live below 500 are pessimistic, fault finding, critical, aloof, angry, controlling, provoking and always justifying their actions. Living with such people is a lose/lose situation because people will always have frailties that negative people will focus on. NOTE: Use of this article requires links to be intact.
