STOP BEING A NEGATIVE LOSER ONLINE

By OG Strain

You know what I’m sick and tired of?

I’m sick and tired of people who wake up every single day just looking for somebody to tear down.

You know the type.

Every Facebook comment they leave is negative. Every post they make is hateful. Every interaction they have feels miserable. They scroll social media like it’s their full-time job to drain the energy out of everybody around them.

And honestly?

What kind of life is that?

I see these people everywhere online now. Somebody posts their artwork — they insult it. Somebody starts a business — they mock it. Somebody shares their happiness — they try to ruin it. Somebody speaks from the heart — they laugh at them.

It’s like some people genuinely cannot stand seeing positivity, growth, peace, success, love, or happiness in another human being.

That mindset is poison.

And what’s crazy is once you begin changing your life spiritually, once you begin walking with God, once you begin trying to live with love in your heart, you start noticing this darkness everywhere. It becomes impossible not to see it.

You begin asking yourself different questions in life.

“How can I help people today?”
“How can I make somebody’s day better?”
“How can I let God’s love work through me?”
“How can I bring peace instead of chaos?”

That’s where your mind starts going when your soul begins healing.

And when you reach that point, negative people become exhausting to be around because you realize they aren’t just “being funny” or “telling it like it is.” No — many of them are deeply miserable people trying to spread their misery to everybody else.

Energy vampires.

They walk into every room trying to suck the life out of it.

But here’s the beautiful part:

They cannot destroy people who truly carry love in their hearts.

They cannot destroy people protected by faith.

They cannot destroy people who genuinely want good for others.

People who walk with God don’t get angry over petty nonsense. They get angry when innocent people are being attacked. They get angry when bullies try humiliating good-hearted people. They get angry when cruelty becomes normalized.

That anger comes from defending what is right.

And I’m going to say something a lot of people probably need to hear:

If you spend your entire life spreading negativity, hurting people, insulting strangers, mocking dreams, attacking people online, and making everybody around you feel worse… what exactly is your legacy going to be?

Seriously.

Especially if you’re older.

You mean to tell me you’ve lived over fifty years on this Earth and still haven’t learned kindness?

Still haven’t learned empathy?

Still haven’t learned humility?

Still haven’t learned that life is short?

Whether you believe in God or not, why would you want your name attached to negativity forever?

Why would you want people remembering you as the person who constantly tore others down instead of lifting them up?

I don’t understand it.

And yes, this message is especially important for Christians because Jesus made it very clear how we are supposed to treat people. Scripture teaches us that what we do for others, we do for Him.

That matters.

But even if you are not religious, the message still applies.

Why hurt people when you could help them?

Why spread hate when you could spread encouragement?

Why become a storm in everybody’s life when you could become light?

That choice belongs to every single one of us every day we wake up.

One of the things that originally drew me into the cannabis community was the love I saw within it. I saw people supporting each other creatively. I saw friendships forming. I saw people helping each other heal. I saw music, art, laughter, conversations, and positive energy.

But at the same time, I also saw the darker side.

Jealousy.

Ego.

Cruelty.

Division.

People tearing each other down over nonsense instead of building together.

And that’s dangerous because this industry has the potential to become something bigger than cannabis itself. It can become an example of community, peace, creativity, healing, and humanity if we allow it to.

We should be showing the world what unity looks like.

We should be making friendships instead of enemies.

We should be supporting each other instead of competing with bitterness.

We should be creating positive spaces where people feel welcomed instead of attacked.

The world already has enough hatred in it.

It already has enough division.

It already has enough miserable people trying to infect everybody else with their misery.

So maybe — just maybe — the cannabis community can choose to become something different.

A place where love outweighs ego.

A place where kindness outweighs cruelty.

A place where helping people matters more than humiliating them.

Because at the end of the day, nobody remembers the person who sat online hating on everybody.

People remember the ones who helped them through dark times.

People remember the ones who inspired them.

People remember the ones who showed love when the world felt cold.

So if this article somehow reaches one of those people who spends every day spreading negativity online, I genuinely hope you hear me:

Change before it’s too late.

Start your mornings with gratitude.

Appreciate what God has given you.

Appreciate your parents, your family, your home, your life, your opportunities, your blessings.

Then try giving some positivity back to the world.

Because humanity needs more healers.

Not more hateful commenters.
