I am not a positive person. 2021 is going to be worse

ILoveYourVibes · 25-09-2020 2:13am #1

And 2022 is going to be worse again.

#2020 ....we all want it over.

However 2021 is going to be worse.

Brexit will have happened.

However the North will react will happen.

We won't have a vaccine yet ..and if we do it won't be the best one.

Economically the state will run out of monies.

Business after business will close.

Trump will be president.

And all this will lead to war.

And i bet the weather will the ****e too!

AND THE PUBS WILL STILL BE CLOSED!

First comes denial ..then comes sadness ..then comes ..acceptance. Then more sadness and denial as i regress

So ...how worse will 2021 be?

Aaaaaand
Always look on the bright side of life

Op, You're assuming you'll see 2020 through. That's optimism

Royal Irish · 25-09-2020 2:19am

I like the way you put this will lead to war in lower case and the pubs will still be closed in caps. Priorities.

KungPao · 25-09-2020 2:21am

It’s enough to turn you to the demon drink. Well, that’s my excuse anyway.

To be more positive...I’m getting a massive 2% bump in the wages soon. My future’s so bright, I have to wear shades.

Needs the song...

Have stopped watching RTE ...they don't see the irony in being sickly positive right now.

Trump won't be President, but 2021 will be tough with some light at the end of the tunnel, there will be a vacinne and Covid will retreat, also the economy will boom....enough of my crystal ball now.

Look ...i am not as daft as people think!

ILoveYourVibes · 25-09-2020 2:24am

I think you should only be positive if you do it ironically.

Yes. Coming into summer, the roaring 20s part II will commence.

It’ll be a miserable slog through winter, and Christmas will be cancelled, but good times are in the post.

Keep the chin up.

I'll be 5 years dead by 2021, considering there's still 60 years left in 2020.

Your sense of positivity are relative to the challenges you face. For example, there are people out there facing far worse tragedy personally and don’t even have time to think of the trivialities mentioned in the OP.
In spite of all of it, the world will keep turning, time will move on and it’s our own perception that leads to our levels of positivity or negativity. Be happy, what’s the point in worrying really.

Well if your life's already fcuked up, there's probably a lot to be worrying about

Danzy · 25-09-2020 7:36am

2020 hasn't been that bad.

Not great but not the worst year in the last 15.

I suppose, but I’m not a natural worrier. Worry doesn’t help anything, just pulls you down a deep hole. As my gran used to say, whether you worry or not, you’re still going to die.... stark but she had a point. I don’t worry about things I can’t change, I think about the things I can change or do personally to help improve my situation.

And a good morning to you.

How will the state run out of money. We seem to be printing a ton of the stuff right now going into debt. Sounds like we're already out of money but plowing on. I honestly don't understand fiscal policy.

completedit · 25-09-2020 10:25am

You think you're having a bad year but have you ever known what it's like to be a hapless king who inadvertently brought an end to a 300 year family dynasty over the largest country in the world and then end up in a ditch in Yekaterinburg

I was reading an interesting piece from a doctor with MSF yesterday that spoke about the six-month wall. Like in a marathon you hit often hit a wall of exhausation at a certain point and you just want to stop and quit, but if you keep going you will eventually push through it.

She remarked that in every disaster zone or warzone she worked in, she hit this six-month wall. Pure exhaustion from the chaos and uncertainty around her, from the restrictions on her freedom, her fear for her own safety and of those around her.

At that point you just want to leave. Go somewhere "normal", get back to your own life, take a break from the stress.

We are at that same point right now. 6 months into this. The only difference is that we don't have the option to go anywhere else. But that doesn't mean we can't take a mental break from it. Take two weeks off work and sit around watching TV, going for walks, talking to friends, getting off the internet, etc.

Either way though, she remarks, it lifts in 4-6 weeks and your ability to think straight begins to return. Your creativity returns, the chaos seems less overwhelming. You just have to stick it out.

So if you are feeling cynical, that things are sh1t, are going to stay sh1t, and you just want to get off this rollercoaster, just remember that you will improve. Things may not. But you will. Embrace your sadness, let it in, and then take some time to go do what you love. Take care of yourself.

By November things may still look like complete sh1t, but you should feel better able to deal with that sh1t.

I'm a negative person and a bit of a worrier as well. However when in the situation I just put my shoulder to the wheel and get on with it. Or I'll prioritize and get on with it. "Sickest child gets the attention" and all that.

Dunno what the fuss has been over the Covid Restrictions. I totally understand if there are bills to pay and yer out of a job but otherwise chill a bit. You'd swear we were in Sniper Alley in Sarajevo the way people are going on.

as you said, some are more susceptible to difficult situations, and could have been broke heading into covid

I am not a positive person. 2021 is going to be worse
