Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again.

I think there is pressure on people to turn every negative into a positive, but we should be allowed to say, 'I went through something really strange and awful and it has altered me forever.'

I think when I look out and I see there's so much negativity in the world and a lot of people are unhappy and a lot people are anxious, it just feels like that's one view of the world. But you don't have to always focus on that view of the world.

I am sort of pessimistic in that way where I often think the worst of people.

So many people accept the negative. They are constantly blinded by that negative thing.

It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.

Every person gets negative things, they learn from those negative things, and you become a positive person.

I always imagine the world and myself above it and how minute one negative person's voice is in comparison to the amount of people that are in the world.

I was born with an extremely negative attitude. I was the kid who wouldn't smile in Christmas photos, was a poor sport, and hated a lot of things. I eventually grew out of my negativity when I matured.

The implication that depressed people are fundamentally irresponsible is a deeply damaging and counterproductive one. Winston Churchill was a depressive. He didn't just fly planes; he was in charge of the Royal Air Force.
