  • Hey guys! So I like to think of myself a a pretty positive thinker.

  • But, at the same time, a lot of the closest people

  • around me seem to think the opposite.

  • I always have to hear things like,

  • "Why are you so pessimistic?"

  • "Don't be so negative all the time!"

  • "Why can't you see the glass half full instead of half empty for once?"

  • By the way, that saying is not always true because

  • it depends on what the glass is filled with.

  • If the glass is half-full with spoiled milk, it's probably more

  • positive to see it half-empty.

  • Just saying.

  • But moving on!

  • I'm not gonna lie--sometimes the things I say can be

  • a litle negative.

  • For example, whenever I took final exams in high school,

  • I would always assume I got the lowest grade possible

  • just so I could mentally prepare myself in case I failed.

  • Or when I was wrestling for a State Championship,

  • I told myself before the match,

  • "I mean, second place is still good."

  • Or especially when it came to girls.

  • Whenever I would try to prepare myself to ask out a girl,

  • I would think of every single way that I would be rejected

  • so I would know how to react in that scenario.

  • Which consequentially made me not know what to do

  • when they said "yes" and that made it super awkward.

  • But, anyway, whenever I voiced these opinions to my friends

  • or family, they would always criticize me for being "negative".

  • And I'm sure you guys can relate to this.

  • We all know that one friend or family member

  • that's Mr. or Mrs. Positive and gets on everybody's case

  • whenever you say the slightest bit thing that's a little bit negative.

  • But what people don't know about me,

  • even my closest friends and family, is that I'm actually

  • a really, really positive thinker.

  • Like, overly positive! Just in my own head.

  • In my head, I see the glass half full, even when it's empty.

  • I pretty much tell myself how to see the good in every scenario

  • no matter how bad it might look.

  • I just don't say these things out loud because when bad things

  • happen to people and you're overly positive, a lot of times

  • it comes off as insensitive or rude.

  • Thinking like this actually helped me through a lot of tough times

  • and rough situations.

  • But, again, I'm just giving you guys these examples

  • so that you can see how I try to stay positive in my own head.

  • I would never say these things out loud.

  • And you shouldn't either.

  • Trust me, you don't want to say these things out loud.

  • My thought process is no matter how bad things get,

  • even in the worst case scenarios,

  • wherever there's a negative, there has to be a positive.

  • You just have to find it.

  • How to Stay Positive

  • Hey, what's wrong, man?

  • I just found out my girlfriend's been cheating on me.

  • What?

  • Oh, I'm so sorry. That's terrible.

  • And that's probably what I would say in that scenario.

  • But it's not quite what I would be thinking.

  • Like I said, I'm an overly positive person in my head

  • and this is what it would look like if I said what I was really thinking.

  • Hey, what's wrong, man?

  • I just found out my girlfriend's been cheating on me.

  • That's wonderful, bro!

  • Now you don't have to waste anymore time wondering

  • if she's the one!

  • Hey, what's up, man?

  • My grandpa just passed away.

  • He was such a great guy. It's so unfair.

  • I'm so sorry, bro. That's...that's so sad.

  • Again, that's something I would say,

  • but my mind is messed up and I would search for the positive,

  • even in that.

  • - Hey, what's up, man? - My grandpa just passed away.

  • He was such a great guy. It's so unfair.

  • Sorry to hear that, man, but I guess everyone

  • has to die sometime, right?

  • I mean, if everyone lived forever, we'd all be dead--

  • due to the exponential growth of the human population,

  • we wouldn't have enough resources, so in a way it's not

  • the worst thing in the world.

  • I can't believe someone had the nerve to do that.

  • - They were so cruel. - What happened?

  • Somebody stole all her clothes from the laundromat.

  • Like, literally, $100 worth.

  • Damn, that sucks! I mean, who would even do that?

  • You know the drill.

  • What happened?

  • Somebody stole all her clothes from the laundromat.

  • Like, literally $100 worth.

  • - Hey, good for you! - What?

  • That's a compliment!

  • That means you have really good taste in fashion.

  • See, technically, these are all positive things,

  • but now you probably know why I'm telling you to keep this in your own head.

  • Having these overly-positive thoughts didn't necessarily fix

  • any of the scenarios, but they definitely help you to get through them.

  • And I know sometimes it's hard to think positive

  • when you're sad or upset, but when you do have those moments,

  • pretend that I'm there, giving you positive thoughts.

  • Oh my god...I'm only 16.

  • What am I going to do?

  • Now you don't have to worry about getting pregnant for another nine months!

  • (sighing) I can never fall asleep. I hate having insomnia.

  • It's better than not being able to wake up and being in a coma!

  • Dammit, they forget my Chalupas every single time!

  • Wow, that is really courteous of them to be helping

  • you with your diet like that.

  • Oooh, man!

  • There's some dog poop-- in all the places I could've stepped!

  • Hey, man! It could've been worse.

  • At least it wasn't human poop or the dog itself

  • - or HIV contaminated-- - Okay, okay, I get it. I get it.

  • Or a lego.

  • (thinking) Damn, my stomach hurts so bad.

  • Maybe if I fart just a little bit, he won't smell it and I'll feel better.

  • (soft farting noise)

  • (gasping) Oh god.

  • (Ryan thinking) At least you didn't wear your white undies today.

  • Undies today...

  • Undies today...undies today...

  • I can't believe my cat is gone forever.

  • At least it wasn't your dog!

  • I can't believe my dog is gone forever!

  • At least it wasn't your cat!

  • I can't believe I lost my cat AND dog on the same day.

  • Well, at least you can still watch Cat Dog online

  • to make yourself feel better!

  • What's Cat Dog?

  • You don't know what Cat Dog is?

  • Man, I feel so old now.

  • (sighing) My viewers aren't going to get that reference!

  • Or you could just rid of this scene and not put it in the video!

  • Gaaah!

  • But I can't take the scene out now!

  • The video's already online!

  • Yes, you can take it out! We're still filming it.

  • And it's not even edited yet.

  • (sighing) Man, this scene is so confusing.

  • I should just take it out.

  • - Or maybe some people WILL get it! - (gasping in delight)

  • (gasping in delight continues)

  • My cat and dog are still gone.

  • Well at least this scene made the video!

  • Don't ask. I don't even know.

  • Anyway, you see, no matter how bad things get

  • or how bad things may seem, there's always a positive in everything.

  • Because our world runs on balance, and there can't be

  • a negative without a positive.

  • Life may give you a glass that looks half empty at times,

  • but it's you and only you that has the power of choice

  • to make that glass half full.

  • And if you can do that, there's nothing in this universe

  • that can ever bring you down again.

  • Cheers.

  • Oh!

  • Yup, that'd definitely spoiled.

  • And I should probably go to the bathroom before I--

  • (farting)

  • (thinking) Oh god...

  • Well, at least I'm not wearing my white undies today.

  • (horror music)

  • (gasping)

  • Tee hee!

  • (Ryan) So thank you guys so much for watching.

  • If you want to see bloopers and behind-the-scenes,

  • for this video, click the one on the left.

  • If you want to see the previous video, click the one on the right.

  • Or if you want to stick to the very end of the video

  • and do what I do every single time I see this part

  • and just sing along to this video, then go ahead!

  • (singing along to music)

  • I'm off key.

Hey guys! So I like to think of myself a a pretty positive thinker.
