We might feel shy listing our positive or negative attributes. Listing positive attributes may seem as if we are showing off our capabilities in front of others. While, listing negative attributes may give others a chance of getting to know our weaknesses.

How do you stop being pessimistic?

The way is to start paying attention to your thoughts. Whenever you have a negative thought, stop yourself -- actually think "Stop!" and then think of a positive thing about whatever that is you're thinking about. Try to think of the word realistic - make your positive thoughts logical and realistic explanations instead of negative gloom-and-doom thoughts.For example, say you invite a friend to go to a movie and they say no -- your negative thought might be "They don't really like me" -- you say "Stop! They might have other plans, or they might just be busy or they might not like that particular movie."

How do you describe the positive and negative influences on one's sense of self?

Positive influences on one's sense of self include encouraging words, especially those given in times when one might feel emotionally low. Also, not attacking the person if they do something that was wrong. For example, if a child does something they should not, do not say "You are a bad child." Instead, say, "What you did was not right." Constructive criticism in which the person is not attacked is a positive influence. Praising accomplishments, saying encouraging things when a person is doing a difficult project, etc. are also positive influences on a person's self. Negative influences include saying negative things that attack the person, like "You are really stupid," "Don't you know how to do that? I could do it years ago," "You are dumb," "I know that is not something you can do," etc. Negative influences go beyond words. A look of disgust, laughing at a mistake, making fun of a person in any way, etc. are negative influences. Basically, anything said or done to encourage and build a person up is a positive influence, and anything said or done that discourages or makes a person have negative feelings about him or herself is a negative influence on one's sense of self. There are other factors that can have positive or negative effects on one's sense of self. One of those is a person's economic status. People who are economically well-off usually find having a good sense of self is easier than those who are poor. Having parents who have healthy senses of self can also be a factor. People with good self-images usually find it easier to instill that into their children.

How are negative integers used in the real world?

Whenever you have two opposites, you can use positive number for one, and negative numbers for the other. For example: * Having money might be positive, owing money might be negative (owing money is worse than just having nothing). * Getting money might be a positive change; spending money (or otherwise losing it), a negative change. * Places above sea level might be assigned a positive altitude; places below sea level, a negative altitude. * If latitudes north of the equator are defined as positive, then latitudes south of the equator would be negative. Or the other way round.


Does a negative subtracted from a negative equals in a negative in algebra?

It can. Negative 2 minus negative 1 = negative 1. However, it sometimes might be positive. Negative 5 minus negative 16 = positive 11. If you have two equal negative variables, such as -a - -a, you will get -2a. -2a may still be positive though, if a is a negative number. An example of having two unequal negative numbers is -a - -b, which is -a + b. That may be positive or negative depending on what a and b are equal to.
