This kind of reminds me of the film Inside Out, where Joy was always positive to the point it was incredibly annoying and even a bit toxic.

1. I think I'd be dead within minutes.
2. I'd become compost from my body rotting to the point of being unrecognisable.
3. Smile at them?
4. No idea.
When you find a sure-fire way, please tell me.

Pretty sure I would die immediately. The personal persistent issues would immediately and constantly shock me to death.

Also things like positivity are quite subjective.

 

[ArcadiaBlade]

Wait, you guys didn't have this curse? Can you teach me? Please, even if i get used to the shock, its still painful and tiring to keep positive about everything. I want to die....

 

[OneRanter]

Wasn't there a rick and morty chapter on that?

 

[gaylolis]

i think i can use it temper my soul with lightning attribute, so when the lightning tribulation comes, i can absorb it no problem and make a breakthrough into the God Realm.

now the main thing is to find a suitable cultivation manual for it.

when i'm done, i will start by cursing their entire generations of ancestors while thanking them at the same time.

Am I the only one who doesn't see much issue with it? o_o

I mean, I get to have pessimistic thoughts quite often, but that's part of an overactive mind that is allowed to have them, or at least -- to dwell on them. I feel like humans can be trained for anything including doublethink, so to speak. And focusing solely on optimistic thoughts doesn't seem to be that implausible especially if there are constant rewards for that and constant punishments for the opposite.

Essentially, isn't it just like a Pavlov's dog thing??? It's not nice to view oneself in this manner but it's not an issue either. We are conditioned to think and believe many things without even realizing anyway. But at least this one gets you cute rewards for it ^^.

At some point, it's got to sink into being a reflex, so it would stop bothering me at that point altogether...

1. Probably a couple of months getting used to it, then it would sink into my new subconscious.

2. Nothing much... I am pretty aware of a lot of conditioned things I've been taught as a kid and now, so... it's just one more.

3. O_O I guess smiling at them, too? Shyly, of course. If you do it too intensely or for too long a time -- . Likewise, if I get paid 100$ for making people smile, just spend this money on fricking gifts/flowers/cupcakes -- and then make free giveaways for new smiles! Then, after you get a smile for each cupcake -- you get more 100$ and you just make you own Smile Business Empire from that. Seems to easy; I'd be a billionaire within those couple of months getting used to the curse +_+. The fact which II would use for charity and stuff and get even more smiles in return (we can get entire Olympic stadiums to gather smiles more efficiently) -- and I'll get myself drunk on power of optimism to save the world.

4. Being conditioned works wonders ^^. Besides, I can see a lot of loopholes with the premise of what constitutes negative, so... .

 

[DubstheDuke]

I would not survive.

Negative thoughts are not just something I have, they are a part of me.

I am a pessimist by nature. I always look at things in a bad light so that when things aren't as bad as I think they are, I am left with satisfaction even at a less than optimal scenario. I feel that in such a dark and grim world, this is necessary to be truly happy- and that looking at everything in a positive light is merely ignoring the issues around you, only for you to be let down when things don't go as expected.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

You mean I can make money from singing goofy camp songs? I don't understand how this is a curse.

4. Have a big ego, ignore any and all criticism, and stop watching YouTube.
