pisces are too negative

Im a pisces, but other pisces I have met area always way too negative about things. They are always unhappy and almost always depressed about shit. Yes im talking about myself too, i dont know why.

I don't think people truly understand positive/negative energy. Most people think that what is on the surface to respond measures whether it's positive or negative, and I know this isn't true.

Example: We were given a new poker table (very expensive) to play on at one of our Venues, and last night was the first night to use it. Well, the bar owner said, "Whoever burns this with a cigarette owns it because they will owe me $ 800 dollars".

He said that with a smile, so everybody laughed. They smiled back at the man and had happy feelings about the new table because the man said this to them with a smile on his face. They didn't acknowledge any negativity in him because of how he projected this.

However, he then sat overtop of people and eye-balled them everytime they lit a cigarette with a scowl on his face in which they didn't acknowledge, or if they did, they saw it as just concern on his face.

In reality, by him saying that to us ... was a threat.

A threat.

^^^ negative in which wasn't even comprehended as such.

Another example, is when a person comes in here and bitches about what their partner did to them, and during this bitch-session, they spew out all this pent up venom to trash their partner because they are angry. They will say horrible things about the person.

And they won't recognize that what they just did was a projection of negative energy, for they will process it as their right to vent off this anger onto the energy grid because their boyfriend was a dickhead.

To them, this is positive ... because if anything is mentioned to the contrary then they will ream you out about being negative, and only positive insight is welcome .. which to them positive insight would equal being in agreement with them that it's the right thing to do to vent off this anger.

wtf?

Anger is a negative energy, and to vent it off into the grid is indeed, projecting negative energy, and to have people support this is adding to the wave of negative energy being projected.

But, it is acknowledged as positive ... this retaliation of anger being labeled as ok because it is being vented off.

I think the thing is this ....

Most people are afraid of the negative, they will ignore it, they will believe it doesn't exist so they can go merrily about thier way.

Whereas, Pisces people aren't afraid of it, it exists, and so it the time arises that the negative has to be said, we will.

Other people won't, they will push it to the back burner at all costs, and will only allow the mind to consider what is positive.

From my perspective, I see the back-burner people as the ones who don't have a well enough handle on negative energy, because it's still with them, on the back-burner, slowly stewing .. until the day comes that it boils over. Whereas, the people who allow this energy to be present in them, the moment they feel it, are well on thier way with handling it to put it into perspective.

This may be why it appears to you that Pisces people are depressed. Fortunately for us, we can quickly put this into perspective, and keep it moving.

I don't find them negative at all. Two of my best friends are pisces. They just deal the best they can with whatever is going on.

If they are ever being "negative" it's because they are being realistic. People always think realism is "negative" it's stupid, it's not.

Yes for us reality hurts and we know many things are going very wrong in this world. On other hand you dont see a more positive person when something bad happens to others.

I always have a positive outlook on things. That's what drives me to succeed.

i think Pisces women are more afflicted with depression. I know Pisces men are stronger and hard workers. No matter how much I ( a female) tried to wear a smile on my face people could see I was very unhappy. Sure I wasnt dealt the greatest cards but I have things people would love to have. I just felt like people were sort of blind to the truth and nothing I did could ever make them appreciate me for being truthful. I felt like I had to play this game to be accepted. I wanted to fit in but it was such a chore. I wanted love just like anyone else but I could not compromise myself. I really did try and was very unhappy trying to be what I could not be.

The only way I can keep my negativity at bay is by simply trying to stop the thoughts that are negative. I dont know how else to do it. I do vent about everything because if I keep it inside I get sick.. Its happend to me before and I cant get that sick again so I simply "let it all out" I dont hold back. I try to do this alone though. When I vent to people I make sure not to sound as negative as I feel, I withhold a lot. Id have no friends at all if I did not do this. I am self contained but when someone does something to me that is wrong, I tell them, no matter who it is. People do not like to hear the truth and I need clean water to swim in, this contradiction is tough on Pisceans. I think the piscens who have thrived in this world have incredible imaginations and coping mechanisms. I would envy that I dont particularly care for success. That is so twisted. I need to be reprogrammed...

One of my best friends is a Pisces & honestly, she is the type of person that will find something to complain about "just because." And it drives me nuts. If I say "Oo that guy is cute," she'll believe deep down that he is attractive but "just because" she'll find something negative to point out about him. She can be very whiny & very negative & almost over-exaggerating about how bad things are. I truly believe that 80% of all Pisces misery comes from within & from self pity more than it comes from outsiders stabbing you in the backs or giving you an excuse to be that way.

Everything that she does, says or feels is always filled 100% with her emotions. She makes her decisions more off of how she "feels" more than she does logic & naturally living in that manner can cause more misery than you think. And at the end of the day, when she realizes this, she only gets more miserable & more whiny about everything she can think of. BUT there are alot of good things about my Pisces friend that I adore, but oh man the constant negativity & the constant pity party really drive me up the wall sometimes. She's always complaining about how she's always alone but yet every time someone comes her way, they stray for the very same reason that they say "misery loves company."
And I've noticed that about alot of Pisces, NOT ALL PISCES, but alot of them. But hey, in HER mind she really believes that she has every reason to be negative & whiny so trying to get her to realize these negative traits about character is like talking to a wall

I tend to use humor to curb negativity. My unfortunate stories usually turn into hilarious adventures. I never complain much with friends, I usually sulk alone if Im upset about something. I tend to feel better being by myself because it gives me time to calm down and think about the issue more logically. But that's me.

Thankfully, i never get depressed either, and surround myself with happy, upbeat, easygoing types which could be of any sign, including my own.. Life is way too interesting & exciting for me, & every day is totally new with those i respect, love and share it with. I do love to laugh & laugh at something everyday too, many times!..lol i do have venus in cap-strongest piscean sub-type + an aqua stellium; never hurts, so am not overly emotional anyway. I have a piscean bro and father who are also both very positive, easygoing peeps. In my life, i have only encountered one negative fish..

Personally, i wouldn't have the patience to be around anyone constantly negative, critical, complaining or overly emotional-NO matter the sign, just too many other happy fish in the sea to swim along with.. *Life is short enough..

(Generally, most pisceans i know (90% ) ARE the happy, idealistic rose-coloured glasses wearer..LOL ..now, please, don't ask me to say that 5x! 😉

Its not a problem to accept negativity. However, its another matter to allow it to consume you every chance you encounter it. A lot of Pisces I know wallow in negativity energy to the point of them not being able to pull themselves out of it. I think this instance is what's being questioned about.

That's why there are two fish...one swimming upward...the other downward. Pisces feel...for others...and within themselves...this takes a toll sometimes. A Pisces can easily help others but sometimes have a tough time navigating troubled waters themselves. They need someone who can help them and this help may vary...leaving them alone, just listening, giving them a hard dose of reality, letting them know you are there for them, just letting them be who they are, etc...

I never get depressed lol. . .

That's because you have all that gemini...

Pisces are deeply empathetic people - Sometimes that catches up to us. I'm quite a typical Pisces though - when I feel down, it's short lived (and often in the privacy of my own home). Other placements play a role, just as a person's upbringing and who they surround themselves with...

I think that once a Pisces starts to slip into depression, it's much easier since they are so deeply feeling creatures.

I am mostly optimistic - Always view the glass half full (Leo Asc are optimistic too) however, I also look at situations realistically. As someone said, some people think realism is pessimism... Which it isn't. There is nothing negative about listing possible positive outcomes and possible bad outcomes - that's called being smart lol. The only time I am ever like "Woe is me... blah blah blah" is when it comes to love and that's because my stupid Mars is in stupid Capricorn and I have a bad habit of "sacrificing myself on the alter of love"... Or feeling like I don't deserve love.... I am getting off topic.

Sometimes I get wrapped up in daydreams and I get bummed that things in life aren't more magical - but I don't get depressed. I definitely get bored, a lot... Often. Look a squirrel!

I NEVER get nor am I depressed! I HATE to read about Pisceans being alcoholics, addicted to drugs, melancholy, manic depressions, etc. etc., etc. Butter to ya'll because you are wrong!!!! God gave us CHOICES and I choose NOT to do drugs.

It's called your "season" of being depressed. Change! We Pisceans are mutable (meaning we can change like chameleons). Embrace yourself as a human being! You're Pisces for God's sake! We take what every 11 of the zodiac signs feel AND we have our own feeling which makes us UNIQUE.

DANG! I wish DXPNET had "EDIT BUTTONS!!!!"

Pisces can became rather melancholy at a moments notice, even sometimes purposely just to get into an emotional trance. I think we do sometimes in order to self reflect who we are as a person in the world. But with a little positive encouragement, we are back to normal. Negativity comes from a person who is not mature.

Being negative is a relative game. On the same vein as P-angel Pisces in general have no problem owning their negativity even if it makes more dense characters uncomfortable for whatever reason. What one sees as a pity party, the fish is just feeling the truth of their emotions. They aren't rationalizing their feelings for the sake of another persons comfort. Yet this same personality can be seen joyously expressing their true optimism something more emotionally contained types might feel uncomfortable by as well. This dual nature is what I observed makes the fish.

Growing up my mother would say "you're so emotional, but at least you allow yourself to feel the full wave of your emotions and then it's over" this was in comparison to my Cap sister who broods and holds grudges for years, if not the rest of her life.

Some of you have been on DXP for more than 8 years!!! Wow

Means we are not so negative after all 😛

I don't get along very well with human garbage and other assholes.

If that classifies me as "negative," then keep in mind it's more of a natural response than anything else.

Think about it for a second.

If a person puts rat poison into the dog food bowl, and the dog refuses to eat it...

Is the dog being "negative" about this decision?
