I'm supposed to be negative?
So I've overheard recently (over the last year or so) things like: 'It gets tiring being negative all the time and pointing mistakes and people flaws.'
And it confused me.
Is that what I'm supposed to be doing?!
Crap!
I've been doing it wrong!
Should I be negative?
Should I be pointing out flaws in peoples work?
Should I be pointing out flaws in peoples ideas?
Should I be stating that people are doing shoddy work?
Am I there to break things?
Am I there to find the breaks?
I thought I was part of a team and we worked together on creating something.
I thought I approached things differently and could add valuable input because of that.
I thought we were solving a problem and approaching it from different angles.
I thought I was there to provide information.
I thought we evolved together.
Did I think wrong?
