The idea of being Annoyingly Happy and I guess annoyingly positive coincides with that - at least in my mind it does.  I have been told by multiple people that I am annoyingly positive.  I wasn’t quite sure how to take it the first time those words were spoken to me but now I take it as a badge of honor.  I pride myself in my choice to find the positive and the choice to be happy.  I think it’s a skill or habit that you can learn but for me it’s always felt second nature maybe a trait I was born with, to see the silver lining.

It makes sense for some people to be annoyed by seeing someone who’s always happy. If you’re used to “bad things” always happening in life always happening to you. Or maybe just naturally a general unpleasant demeanor  in the home you were brought up in? It would be hard to understand how someone could always be so happy and positive if growing up that wasn’t modeled for you.  It would for sure hard to form that habit or skill all on your own. And if you’re not used to finding the good in the situation, if you’re not making the choice to choose happy - people who are, could come off as fake.  Like how and why is that person always so happy? They have to be faking it.  They can’t truly be happy, right?  I’ve had those thoughts before.
