For some people, optimistic thoughts can do more harm than good

That's why I'm a miserable bastard and perfectly happy being so.

I was a little surprised by this at first, but when you think about it it really makes a lot of sense. It also makes people make more sense.

It does make sense to me. It didn't surprise me, though. I think I may be a bit like the people described in the article. Then again, maybe that's why it didn't surprise me. I don't think there's *one* method that applies to everyone. People are as different as snowflakes. As much as we share commonalities, we are all different. It's perfectly reasonable that one method of reinforcement would be harmful to some as it is helpful to others.
