Declaration followed by a question mark: "How to be a positive person ?"
Practice, practice, practice. For example, you can start with this:
"Today I learned that I erroneously made a declaration thinking I was asking a question. I am fortunate and happy to know that I can now eliminate that grammatical error in my writing and speech, and that I can admit to error and not get mired in denial."
These are questions: "How can I be a positive person? How can one be a positive person?"
This is a declaration, sort of like the title of an essay: "How To Be A Positive Person"
"I've been through a LOT of horrible things in my life, but I won't get into that, however everything that's happened to me has put a huge negative effect on me."
You are still alive. Don't swim with alligators. Don't feed wild bears. Doing stupid things can kill you.
Your text: "When people meet me they think I'm rude, negative, ect"
How do you know that? And are you?
Your text: "I can't express myself and have a hard time speaking my mind."
You can improve your thinking and ability to express ideas cogently. I will make a suggestion at end of this post.
Your text: "Because from events that have happened to me, I've learned to keep my mouth shut and only rely on myself so a lot of the time I don't feel the need to speak to anyone except my friends and I only talk to them about boys, && partying."
I presume you are an adolescent or adult. You should not be concerned with boys at your age, but with adolescents and adults. Already you have learned how ambiguity makes your message other than what you probably meant. No one has the obligation to correct your statements or assume you mean something other than what you write or say.
Your text: "I never express my emotions or feelings."
I find that impossible to believe. But I have no reason to argue the point with you.
Your text: "However I have a VERY nice soul and I know that for a fact,"
As far as I know, there are no such things as souls, but there certainly are Internet trolls.
Your text: "I want to give and never take..."
You will in that way eventually have nothing and will starve to death.
Your text: "... and I have respect for people who can somewhat respect me. I treat others how they treat me. I just have a tough time showin my true self, and I can't come off as the positives person I know I am inside."
I am not here to negotiate. I am not here shopping for friends. I am not here to read advertisements.
You are here to negotiate. You are advertising yourself. But you offer nothing useful in return for attention.
Your question: "How can I show my good vibes?"
You do not have good vibes, bad vibes, or even indifferent vibes. I presume you want suggestions on what readers may consider good vibes might be in regard to persona. I do not even know what vibes are and am of the opinion that the reason is because the term vibes is a shallow, meaningless platitude.
So I can't help you there.
Do you mean this?
vibe
noun (informal)
plural noun: vibes
1. A person's emotional state or the atmosphere of a place as communicated to and felt by others.
2. Another term for vibraphone.
If so, consider this:
Wear a hat covered with aluminum foil, wear a red clown nose and what and blue stage makeup, and carry playback device with canned laughter so you can clue people into your good vibes at will.
If that seems to be overkill, try this:
The mind requires proactive care to be free of what the Buddha referred to as the three poisons: greed, hatred, and delusion. These things are all too commonly culturally acquired features of minds and are acted out without question as to their value by individuals mired in family, community, religious, and political culture.
Your perceptions and desires are products of conditioning and other sentient experience you have acquired up to this point in life. You can change the contents of your mind, and you can shape your mind to be pro-social, rational, and smarter, too.
We can change our sentient experience however by a sort of deconstruction into component parts; from that point it is ultimately a matter of adopting new, rational, wholesome paradigms.
Consciousness is a function of a cognitive neural network processing both sensory data and memory. Sentient experience can be subjectively deconstructed into four foundations of mindfulness:
1. Mindfulness of body.
2. Mindfulness of sensation as pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral (physical sensation).
3. Mindfulness of state of mind (attitude, emotion).
4. Mindfulness of content of mind (ideas, learned skills, memory, mental images, beliefs).
Sit in a comfortable position, legs crossed and back erect if possible, and with as little noise and distraction as possible. Focus your mind only on your breathing, counting mentally “1 in, 1 out, 2 in, 2 out, 3 in …” and so on for a cycle of four or five breaths. If your mind strays from your breath, which it inevitably will, make the experience the target of mindfulness, attempt to deconstruct the activity as in the above schema, and return to count the breaths mentally.
In your mind there is a continuous stream of thoughts, random or specific ideas, images, and feelings come and go. Any of these can distract you. You can deconstruct them via the schema above and then direct your mind back to your task.
The brain will do that sort of thing as long as you live. The brain normally processes information via random association or cognitive models you have acquired either on purpose or by random experience. Those are the things that usually drive your perceptions and behavior, even your dreams.
