hmmm ... could these be turned-around, inverted into positive characteristics? ... perhaps work on some, e.g.:

• stay open-minded about what other people think
• imagine positive future developments
• envision surviving scary-bad events
• refrain from categorizing people
• be grateful for small (and large!) favors
• observe positives, maybe exaggerate them
• limit extrapolation of negatives
• perceive shades of gray, continuous spectra
• focus on what is
• appreciate randomness in life
• take responsibility
• notice unfortunate people and sympathize
• look toward the future
• don't over-hypothesize
• think logically
• notice contradictory evidence
• observe and accept
