The best way to stay positive while everyone around you is complaining is to be a listener. Instead of getting caught up in complaining, allow people to vent to you. This not only strengthens your relationship with others, but you also receive a sense of accomplishment for being there for someone else.

Haters gonna hate...but you don't have to be a hater. Don't be afraid to be happy and grateful for what you have. Don't get caught up in others' dramas.

I maintain a positive attitude by remembering my interest in lifelong learning. When a situation is difficult for me, it demonstrates where I have room to learn and grow. Even if others are complaining about our circumstances, I can still appreciate this opportunity and strive to learn something from each person I meet and challenge we face. And maybe I can even lighten the mood by focusing on positive solutions and showing others what we can accomplish with the cards we have been dealt.

Well, first of all I would say, don't take it personally. Many times when people are dealing with difficulties in their lives, those around them become the targets of their unhealthy coping strategies. Also, remain grateful for what is going well, maybe doing a list of what's going good. Remember that self care is really important so even if those persons complaining are people you really care about it's okay to be alone sometimes!

You can see it as a challenge! It's hard when people frown upon positivity, but ultimately it is healthier to be able to find the reasons to be grateful.

A way that I keep a positive attitude is that I focus on the good that is around me rather than focusing on other people's worries.

A positive attitude is sometimes confused with cheerfulness, but it's more like hope than happiness. You can have your nose to the grindstone and believe you can make it through - this is positive. When you start believing what everyone else says, it is either negative or a wake-up call.
