Is it true ?

Are we born grumpy (if you are a grumpy person) or do you grow grumpy as you get old ? Can you change ?
I think its all in the mind .... I know I can made my self happy or sad just by what I sit and think about , so can a grumpy person sit and think about non grumpy things and be less grumpy?
I know an old lady who has no reason to be grumpy as she has had and still has a great life , but she see the negative in everything.... I some times wonder if its just for attention .....
Yet you see others who have had terrible lifes and happy as larry ...
So if your a grumpy person think happy positive thoughts today and let me know if you feel happier tomorrow
The power of positive thoughts can move mountains ....

Yes, I think to some degree people can control their own Grumpiness, my problem is, I get grumpy over things I have no control over, I should not really listen to the news of a morning, my day would be much more pleasant without it.

Re: Is it true ?

My mission for you today is think happy thoughts only ..... if you choose to accept ...then I wish you a happy day ;0)

Re: Is it true ?

Re: Is it true ?

Ah but .... Do you like it because it gets you attention , as in people trying to cheer you up or are you a natural wallower? ;0)

Re: Is it true ?

My sister was grumpy from word go, I think I had a sunnier disposition. It was just a difference in way we think about the world. So yes I think people can be born grumpy.

Re: Is it true ?

I think some people who are, or come across as grumpy, seek attention. There are those who love to moan about this that and the other and revel in the attention they receive.

I personally prefer a quieter life and am either happy of sad. I am in a lot of pain with my back at the moment and can't help letting out a few grunts and groans but I wouldn't class that as grumbling..... just 'ouch' relief!

Re: Is it true ?

Well Bags its like this - for some the glass is half 'empty' - for others 'half full'. Even though my life has been 'half empty'....I prefer to think of it as 'half full' - but, I try to avoid the negative news on TV and radio, that can send me plummeting.....

Re: Is it true ?

Life's too short to be grumpy. I do think our tolerance levels decrease as we age, but whatever happens we should try maintain our sense of humour and perspective...

Re: Is it true ?

I think grumpiness is an attitude of mind that for some is a monetary thing for others a well worn habit .

I would say have quick moan if something really niggles you then get on with things with a smile. Life is too short to stay grumpy .
