ST I was wondering if there is a way I can learn to stop projecting "negative" thoughts on everything and learn to see things for what they are rather than by my own seemingly "negative" perceptions.(Sorry for use of word "negative", I couldn't find anything more appropriate.)

My tendency to expect/interpret the absolute worst from every conversation/person/event is really wearing me down and I feel that my perception is extremely "colored" or "swayed" in a certain direction regarding all these things. Yet I can't seem to stop doing it and I think it's pretty hard to be happy with this sort of "dark" perception of the world/life itself.

I've already realized that the words I've just written are an extremely scant representation of the ideas I was trying to convey, but I thought I'd ask anyways in case you could somehow understand these ideas through this primitive form of communication we human's use.
