Protect Yourself From Negative People--Even From Yourself! {immune system}

Yup that's probably why there are people to help with that.

I've been guilty of giving myself personal bouts of controlled negativity sometimes. Refreshes the perspective and helps with seeing the numerous poles of what it means to be a human. Not to mention the understanding that can come with it.

And people who have serious and chronic auto immune diseases are just overly angry and negative?

I'm not saying that.

I think that's a complex picture that probably includes parents; rearing; current life circumstances; genetics; pollution; diet; etc. etc. etc.

I think this is an important part of the picture for many people.

I don't know what the experts would say about the cases you cite.

Basically she (a social psychologist) proposes that how you carry yourself (posture and open body stance) changes not only how you are perceived by others but also how you yourself react to situations and people around you -- my perception and agreement is that we hold ourselves and our power -- it is a conscious act that becomes automatic with practice.

The first thing they do to you in the Army, besides yell at you, is teach you to walk like a soldier - or as they put it... Walk with a purpose. Meaning you have a place to go, so get stepping, walking straight, tall, and true.

This is pretty much a standard for just about everything that one can experience in simply being alive.
