When negativity and pessimism get deeply ingrained in one’s persona, there is a transformation in the outlook towards
life. It seems like life was never worthy, things never happened right and
relationships never worked. When there are no persevering memories of happiness
or contentment, the mind cannot retain images of sanguinity. When asked to
recall happy and positive moments, one usually denies their existence. There is
thus no baseline to get back to.
