Happy to chime in.

Went to the best pizza place in town (IMO) for a slice and it turns out that it's their 20th anniversary. Every pizza was $1/slice. Beers are $2 (but I don't drink).

Good luck, Graves.

Always knew positive thinking was horseshit. Thanks for the scientific backing

If my doc sees no suspicious tissue, then yes.
If he has to take tissue samples, it may take a few days.
I'm optimistic as hell.
(postive attitude never hurt, right?)

You'll be fine my dude. But just to be safe I've already prayed to Joel and sent him a $500 check

blech, one is about weight loss subjects. lol, why even cite that?

the other is a nebulous study on positive fantasies about idealized futures.

total, inapplicable bullshit, though well meaning no doubt.

good day.

Actually there is a growing belief that always being positive isn't beneficial. This NYTimes sunday review article sums it up nicely.

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/26/opinion/sunday/the-problem-with-positive-thinking.html

In my experience what gets things done is:

1. a grasp of reality.
2. a sense of responsibility.
3. taking action

Being positive is pointless. Understand what the best case scenario is, the worst case scenario and the most likely outcome, and what each scenario means to you.

The Best case scenario is that you are completely clear of cancer. The worst case (and unlikely) is that you have metastatic cancer. The most likely outcome is that you have BPH, you go to the washroom frequently and you have a slow growing benign prostate tumor that ever guy will eventually get should he live to see 70. And even if the worst case is true, you got it early enough that several available interventions (excision, RF/microwave ablation, cryo, brachy therapy seeds --- go Palladium because they are high dose rate and they don't leave them inside of you) have very rate of successful outcomes.

Tbh, this is a really shitty thing for you to post

I mean seriously, WTF?

These seem to be about people working towards goals like not being a fatty. @Graverobber isn't working towards a goal where positive thinking might alter his path, he either has a problem or he doesn't. So what would be the problem with him having a positive attitude while waiting for the results? The positive thinking will add AIDS onto the initial problem is my guess.

No matter what you find out about this you can at least take comfort in the fact that you aren't living the nightmare that sara is in right now. Fucking gel nails popped right off, that's at least $50 down the drain.

 

[Graves The Elder]

These are about positive fantasizing. I assume when people say "think positively" they're not suggesting people live in a fantasy dreamworld. If anything I would say "positive thinking" is closer to "optimistic expectation"
