This blows me away as SO MANY are such negative names and they live with negative input on C-D daily?

I see a lot of negative comments in general.

What we see/repeat in our brains day in and day out keeps that cemented in our brains. I know life isn't all positive, BUT For Most, more positive than negative.

No I don't want everything sugarcoated, but psychology tells us this about how smart our brains are and listen to what they see.

I totally agree. I am amazed when I see user names that are so negative, like, "IH8MiLife" or whatever (no offense if anyone out there actually has that name).

Our reality adjusts itself according to our thoughts on a daily basis and the more positive energy we can put out there, in whatever form, IMO the better. In fact, if someone was in a challenging period, I would suggest choosing an uplifting user name in order to get some positive energy going in their life.

Usernames? I agree - few members had those. And as long they are not offending, we can't do anything about it.
However, I am not sure if those names actually reflect the person's state of mind. I think they are more likely seeking attention.
I am more curious about very long user names. I would have no patience to type a long username every time I log in, or write a comment.

What goes on in one's mind when they make up username?

Not much...

I originally had my email address username as my CD name but after a while, I wanted to change it to something that was more catchier and not connected to my personal email address.
