I work in a business that often requires problem-solving. This problem solving, in turn, requires dogged persistence long past the point where most people would simply quit. Those most suitable to do the job are not the boy scout or little-miss-sunshine types. In history, think of Lincoln and Churchill. Both were known to carry depression. Churchill called it his black dog. It took the character of people who have everyday familiarity with pushing past hopeless negativity to pull off what they did, thorough the worst of times, long before there appeared any glimmer of hope.

Sometimes, overly optimistic people seem unsympathetic because they give pat answers to others' problems. While the optimist may be trying to help, it might seem as if he/she is just making light of the situation. So it is often better to say, "I am sorry you feel that way" or "I can understand why you might feel _____", rather than trying to find the good in the situation. Does that make sense?

When positivism is used to deny harsh reality, in order to make oneself better. That shouldn't happen, as its strong conviction engenders ignorance, and as such, the ills and woes of humanity are allowed free passage, since they're not acknowledged, having been exchanged by Jesus, and contests to see who can fart out the most sunshine. I may be a pessimist, but I personally rather call it realism. Hope for the best, but prepare for the best yo.

When it's not genuine. Being surface positive while struggling with harsher feelings can lead to suppressed anger. Or When you feel badly and beat yourself up because you just can't work up a "positive" spin on a situation that really is *that* bad.
-
I can't think of one example offhand. Positive/hopeful/optimistic works for me in every situation. I look for the silver lining, I don't settle for the dark clouds. I learn from everything, even those things that others might perceive as totally negative. All it takes is an attitude adjustment. :)
-
When you misjudge your abilities or those of your children. I saw a mother praise her teenage son to the hilt for his artwork which was so aweful a child could have done better. The more she praised him, the more he was made a fool of. Not long afterwards she kicked him out of the house. He had a complete nervous breakdown and ended up in a padded cell not being able to speak at all. I am not saying that it was entirely the mother's fault but she made a large contribution to it.
