media tells me I am not alone

I’m the kind of person who is pessimistic when it comes to sad things, but I’ve become optimistic lately, and it all started with the media. Most of my close friends tend to hide their negative feelings and only share happy things with me, which creates a dilemma where I feel as if everyone is …
