Although being optimistic, living, and thinking positively are considered to be the secrets of a successful life, unique research has revealed that it can actually be a sign of a weak mindset and can also have some disadvantages.

According to research, people who are especially optimistic and positive thinkers have to deal with economic and social problems.


During the research, experts analyzed the medical data of more than 36 thousand people, their attitudes and decisions, and the problems that happened to them due to their actions.


Experts found that those with strong mindsets made especially good financial plans for themselves and made realistic decisions based on the circumstances.


That is, such people, plan by keeping both its advantages and disadvantages in mind while making any plan. Individuals who were more optimistic and thought positively made especially poor economic and social decisions, and the failure rate of their projects increased by 38 percent.

Experts concluded that being more optimistic and thinking positively could be a sign of poor mental health.
