I am hurting my own feelings

You're a Debbie Downer
You’re the Debbie Downer. It’s not the greatest result, but you probably didn’t expect anything better, did you?
While you may have the purest of intentions, you’re as toxic as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — which you constantly remind people they’re contributing to each time they forget to recycle or use a plastic straw. When you see someone happy, you feel compelled to remind them of the many reasons why life is actually completely miserable. Basically, you’re a total buzzkill.
Relentlessly negative, maudlin, and cynical, Debbie Downers tend to score higher in Neuroticism on the Big Five Personality Model. Those with high Neuroticism are more likely to tune into their negative emotions and anticipate the worst possible outcomes.
It’s not all bad — self-awareness is the first step to shedding toxic behaviors. To be less pessimistic, consume less media and hang with people that make you smile. Start a gratitude journal and try to think of one thing each day that makes you feel grateful.
