Poll of the Day > Would you rather hear all the positive or negative thoughts about you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

In this wacky scenario, you will be given a transcript that contains every person's thoughts that were thought about you for this one day. You can either receive the no filtered version, just the positives, just the negatives, or neither.

I'd at least want the positives, though it might go right to my head. The negatives would be useful for self-improvement and self-esteem building I guess.

So there's no downside at all to picking both?
Both then. I need all the knowledge!
---

Both generally seems useful but, in general, today was a quieter day so it'd be kind of a waste.
---

negatives just for fun. i already know some of the positive thoughts about myself.
---

Just the positives. I'd rather not know who is being a judgemental bitch.
---

I can already tell what people think about me, and it's not very interesting.

Only pussies want the world to be filtered to only show them things they agree with.

Both for me. Sometimes I need that encouragement or to sate my ego while also being reminded of my faults that others might not be open to informing me of.

Same. I talked to like two people today.

You really shouldn't have included both and neither-it's a soft out on the question and will screw up your results.

All because why not? Knowledge is handy, ideally I'd want a lifetime transcript though.

I'm social phobic, so I'm already inundated with "phantom" negative thoughts from anyone and everyone. hearing more would only either validate them or add to them. would rather hear some genuine positives, if there are any.
---

Both. I like positive thoughts as they would make me feel good and give me confidence but on the other side of the coin negative thoughts could help me improve myself. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
---

Both but if i had to choose 1 then positive. The negatives wouldnt be anything i didnt already think myself.

Neither. I don't give a shit what people think about me.

Even if said opinions could affect your job, chance of promotion, etc?
---

Positive only, no sense in wasting time listening to silence
---

I guess both, to properly gauge opinions. If I had to choose though, I'd probably take negative. Irk why, but I'm kind of obsessive over people's negative views on me. I'm certain it's unhealthy, but I can't help it.
---

Both. At least nothing is left unsaid and there is complete honesty.

Haha, that's a good one and I don't mean in that in a sarcastic manner.

I guess it is kind of humbly to disregard the positive opinions while focusing on the negatives if you hope you use those to improve yourself/image.
---

Neither. Compliments make me feel awkward and I obviously don't like being insulted either.
---

Positive. I need an ego boost
