I have a co-worker I like to refer to as Miss Positivity. When I’m ranting and raving about someone whose causing me issues, she’s all. “You never know what’s going on in her life. She might be having issues.”
I tried to get her to say something bad about anyone.
Nope.
So I asked, “What about a serial killing cannibal?”
To which she replied, “He might have a vitamin deficiency, you never know.”
Tell that to the people in his freezer.
Maybe she’s the seriel killer!

I know people like that and I have a theory. They aren’t really very happy. In fact it is their constant optimism that I think masks an underlying depression or loneliness or fear. When you think about it, they are positive while combative. Forcing you to see things their way. I would trust someone with a scowl on their face–honesty–over positive people any day.

I think some people develop that kind of mindset to deal with stress. It is a possibility that Ms. Positivity is conditioning herself to think that way to protect herself from the stressful events. Maybe you should ask her what she thinks should be done to serial killers.
