Hi Susan, Yes a lot of it is habit and just repeated thought patterns. Most people would be shocked if they actually audited their thoughts (I still am surprised at my thoughts sometimes and have been auditing them for ages). People that think they are super positive may see how many negitive/nasty thoughts they really have. Its a good question about it being cultural or environmental. I suppose within peer groups where a lot of gossip, negative/petty talk goes on it is defintely environmental. If people within that peer group want to change that, they'd need to step right back or try and get the group on board with being nicer and more positive.
P.S. I cringe to think how much bad grammar you found in my piece - I'm writing for 'love' though, not correctness!
