    That only proves that happiness has nothing to do with your body size.

    "The opposite of cursed comments; artistic masterpieces that fill you with joy and euphoria," the moderators of 'Blessed Comments' state in the community description, and we can’t help but wholeheartedly agree.

    Ever since the forum was created in 2018, it has served as a refreshing outlet for people to share and find the sweetest, funniest, and purely optimistic comments online. With over 56k members witnessing and chronicling these wholesome encounters daily, the group spreads positivity by proving that even when the world feels full of adversity, it’s not as bad as it seems.

    To learn more about our tendency to emphasize the negativity in life and the tools we can use to become a tad kinder, we reached out to Joshua Klapow, Ph.D. a psychologist and creator of Mental Drive. He started this well-being initiative to help people gain access to the best in-class psychological and performance tools to live healthier, more fulfilled, and successful lives.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to Klapow, we humans believe we’re constantly surrounded by negativity because we are trained to pay more attention to it — "bad often means danger." The psychologist told Bored Panda that from a survival perspective, it is important to be dialed into anything dangerous.

    "As we have evolved, 'survival' becomes more complex. As a result, relationship breakups, lost fortunes, stealing, corruption, etc. all are associated with survival, and so we are drawn to it."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This explains why it’s so easy for us to focus just on the negatives. In fact, this instinctual drive to seek out the scary, the awful, and the alarming has a name. It’s called negativity bias and it means that we’re more likely to register and dwell on negative thoughts and experiences than positive or neutral ones. We are even inclined to focus on the pessimistic aspects when they are rather insignificant.

    That shouldn't be a problem. I'd whistle for my parrot. I taught him several whistling sounds, and one of them is for greeting me when I get home / responding when I call him. Photo with my green fluffball :) 20220912_1...8140ec.jpg 20220912_141050-63282688140ec.jpg

    All I would have to say is the word "Oma". That's what we call our neighbor who is more family than she is neighbor. Jimmy knows that word and thinks we are going to see her, so he'd probably mow down the other Jimmy dogs as he tries to get out the door.

    My one pup is obsessed with me so I just need to pet the nearest pup and he'll come running. Even if I don't pet a pup, his tail wags insanely when he sees me. My other guy acts like a cat so pretty easy to spot that jerk; he'll probably be humping another dog too.

    Sit on the floor. My rabbit will come charging up and jam her head into my lap so I can pet her face. As far as we've found, she has no max capacity for face pets. She will sit so you can pet her face for hours, take ten minutes to snack and use her box, then she's ready for several more hours of face petting.

    I saved a cockatiel that had gotten outside and lost. I found her because the Cardinals at the bird feeder were picking on her. When she was in her cage at night, she had nightmares. (cardinal PTSD?) And would fall to the floor of the cage screaming. I had to calm her just like you do a toddler with a nightmare. Let them cry it out in your shoulder while you pat and stroke their back whispering that they are safe and no one will hurt them now. So I could tell my bird when she had a nightmare.

    My dog loves going shopping, she gets a ton of treats and we have a nice break, usually just the two of us. She's losing her hearing, almost deaf, so I use the "money" gesture (rubbing my thumb over the tip of the index finger and middle finger) and she comes running.

    Offer them all plates of chicken. The cat that stares at me expectantly, purring, is mine, and is trying to con me into hand-feeding him. Why does he want that? I don't know, but it's a daily battle, and he's a manipulative little s**t.

    I wouldn't have to do anything. Tigger hates other cats and would be likely the one starting fights. He is so mean he runs off big hunting dogs all the time. One time he even smacked a big almost Saint Bernard sized dog in the face for trying to come into the yard. He doesn't care how big or bad they are, he is just meaner and like a honey badger, "don't give a s%#!" attitude.

    Open a pack of my favourite blackcurrant and apple cracker/cereal bars. My cat loves them and recognises the sound of the wrapper and will come running to get some as soon as she hears it. She loves them so much that I can often barely open them because she's rubbing her face all over the packet while meowing impatiently.

    One of my former cats (a void named Anubis) would come running wanting to play fetch with me if I crushed an empty cigarette soft pack. With my current cat (a ginger tabby named Samson), all I'd have to do is sit down in a chair and wait for the tree-cat to crawl up onto my shoulder.

    Roommate's dog had a number of stuffed animals. But when we asked 'wheres your girlfriend?' he'd grab this specific one and hump it.

    Every day when I come home from work I ask doodle (our doggo) "what did you do with your dog day?! Eat snacks? Take naps? Attack cats? All of the best dog stuff?!" She always wiggles cause she loves tormenting our cat Mr Stinky.

    He would come to me upon seeing me wiggling his entire body back n forth so fast its likely his tail and body movements are propelling him forward actually and not his legs lol My big boy is obsessed with his mommy so he runs to me wth the biggest grin and aforementioned wiggles as soon as he lays eyes on me. OR Id speak nicely to the dog closest to me and his 80lb jealous butt would launch himself inbetween me and the other dog faster than I could ever mutter Slash to get him to come to me lol

    Our Great Dane loves to use our legs to "tunnel". She will go between legs to stretch and get scratched. Alternatively I could pull out a doggie brush and she would complain and run away. Don't know why she hates being brushed even with the gloves and she somehow knows anything that could be used as a brush.

    And it's no secret that online hostility can feel overwhelming. Just think about the news and comments about the political turmoil, the looming economic crisis, and the bottomless supply of information that only adds more fuel to our inner chaos — it's hard to stay resilient to negativity.

    According to Verywell Mind, this bias leads to remembering traumatic experiences better than positive ones, recalling insults better than praise, reacting more strongly to negative stimuli, and responding more strongly to negative events than to equally positive ones. This tendency to pay more attention to bad things and overlook good things helped keep humans alive in the past, but we don’t really need to fear for our safety as much in the modern world.

    So to lead a more fulfilling life, we must gain back control over how we perceive this tendency. We need to become aware of how our brains get so wary and try to put things in perspective to see that it’s usually not as tragic as we think.

    Outlets such as 'Blessed Comments' are a breath of fresh air that reminds us of the wonderful encounters happening online. However, we can also take a step further and add a dash of joy by shifting our mindset.

    When asked how to maintain a bright outlook in real life, the psychologist explained that the research is very clear. "We must train our brains to look for optimistic and positive events because the default for so many of us is to look for negative ones." The creator of Mental Drive added that things like gratitude journals and appreciation lists help balance the negative information saturation we live with.

    Speaking of the challenge of keeping ourselves positive online, Klapow noted that following uplifting and upbeat sources is like having a balanced meal. "It’s critical for our mental health. Make sure you have at least some information streams that are automatic and positive coming at you." After all, optimism and happiness are contagious. It’s important to surround yourself with cheerful people, both in the real and the digital world, who can help you unwind from unfortunate events happening today.

    However, we all need to strive to stay rounded and well-informed citizens, and turning a blind eye to the negativities in the world won’t make them any brighter. In a bid to broaden our horizons while keeping sanity intact, one thing is crucial — balancing out the content we consume.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Social media is a 'filterless' landing place," Klapow said. "We are free to express as much pent-up anger, frustration, vitriol, sadness, stress, etc., that we have in our lives." You can essentially say whatever you want online — whether it’s objectively true or not, kind or cruel — and not really have a price to pay for doing so.

    However, Klapow said this approach fuels a toxic, negative sea of information and perspectives. "Keeping ourselves more positive is a matter of training ourselves to do so."

    "A simple strategy is to take any comment you place online and before you post it read it aloud (not in your head, aloud)," Klapow advised. "When you hear yourself saying the words, very often you will at the very least tone them down. When we are forced to hear our own thoughts, we often realize just how toxic they can be."

    If you strive to be more optimistic in general, the psychologist suggested trying this exercise. "For one week at the end of the day, write down 5 things that went well that day. Force yourself to get 5. They can be small (i.e. it was nice weather), or big (I got a promotion). But do 5."

    "Doing this at the end of the day helps you go to bed on an optimistic note, and it begins to train your brain to concentrate more on the positive aspects of your life," Klapow concluded.

    I'm really hoping this guy has survived because that cancer sounds terrible, viz Leiomyosarcoma, or LMS, is a type of rare cancer that grows in the smooth muscles. The smooth muscles are in the hollow organs of the body, including the intestines, stomach, bladder, and blood vessels. In females, there is also smooth muscle in the uterus. These smooth muscle tissues help move blood, food, and other material through the body and work without you being aware. LMS is an aggressive cancer, which means it can grow quickly. LMS is found most often in the abdomen or in the uterus
