I have too many people in my life saying this to me and it's driving me nuts.

Maybe that your perspective reflects reality and you can't change reality.
I tell them 'thank you for doing all you know how to do ... I respect your perspective'. Im not here to change anyones perspective on me. Im not here to persuade anyone into anything.
I usually say nothing or ''Its easy for you to say''

I just let them see what they’re going to say and then I don’t bother engaging in the conversation. People like that just can’t understand that sometimes reality is painful, and it’s normal and healthy to be sad or upset when life gets bad.
I normally don't say anything quote worthy or inspiring.
My mom says this a lot so I just say something like "okay."
But that's sarcastic.
If I had the courage I'd probably say to her to change her behavior towards me.

"Change your perspective. Stop being so positive."
To change my perspective would require a total redo of life at its core. It is not really possible to change it unless I ignore too much.

This makes me think of a quote that I unfortunately can't attribute: "A pessimist is someone who has lived with an optimist."

I don't do anything. It usually leads to an argument. I've tried to tell them that it's not easy to not be negative.
But then they go on a spiel about how they know what it's like to be sad.
Tired of hearing that sh*t.

I'll tell them to kiss my ass.
If they want to be in my situation that's fine, but I have no obligations to work with this shit anymore.
I'm so over it.

I don’t say anything due to the lack of empathy. Is easy for them
to say those comments, but in reality theay are making things worse. it’s better for them to say nothing.

I drop whatever I'm trying to argue against. Don't have the mental energy to defend myself. I truly believe that to be an optimist you have to be ignorant, willful or not. There's also a type of delusion you have to abide by; look away from all the harsh truths of the world. If someone acknowledges them call them a negative nancy and move on.
Life is unfair, you aren't guaranteed good things, we fall into circumstances we can't change, abusers get off scot-free every day, discrimination is alive and well, climate change, chronic illness, and corrupt governments...you get the idea.

That’s what I tell them. But they still think (or pretend) that the grass is red and the sky is green.

I usually just say okay and go about my day. It’s not worth the trouble to reason or fight with people that righteous and uninformed.
Depends on who tells me that. If it's someone who could screw me up (superiors, teachers, etc) I'll go with 'Yessir / ma'am'. If it's some online stranger, I'll just ignore or block them and move on. Only if it's someone I deem worthy of my trust, I'll be willing to discuss it further.

I have asked several people to give me a reason to change to help me see a point to it all and so far nobody has done that they just go on about chemical imbalance and a heap of bullshit. I had a pretty vivid dream last night and I woke up pretty confident in my plans

nothing. it doesn't make sense, because it won't change anything anyway. these people don't really care about me and my fate, so fuck them all
