Too Positive

I've seen someone who's too positive.  In my experience, being too positive is fake.  It sounds good but it's phony.  Although it might be hard, balancing to be positive is the best way, I think.  For example, someone who doesn't have much experience in dancing but is thinking too positive to start working as a professional dancer sounds good but unrealistic.  I don't like to be a naysayer but maybe they want to wait and see at least until they start taking classes and get confident at performing in public.  Anything is possible indeed, but you don't want to forget where you are now.  I'm more realistic now than 15 years ago.  It's fun and inspiring to have a dream and go for it, I've been there and it was quite a journey.  However, it makes you feel miserable inside if you keep pretending yourself that you are an amazing dancer who will book many professional gigs while in reality, you don't even have a gut to go for an audition.  Face yourself and face your fear.  Stop being too positive and get in touch with your own reality and truth.

I get bothered when someone is too fluffy positive.  They might not want to hurt your feelings or not brave enough to tell it like it is but I'd rather hear the truth.  I don't need any compliments, just say the truth.  Don't pretend, don't lie and don't front.  Just be honest because false compliments are toxic and ingenious.  Being too positive is trying too hard.  It's painful to watch.  Let's learn to be honest even though it might not appear to be pretty.  Truth is sexy.
