1. Those of us (NO, not cult-like, thank you very much) who just keep positive energy going because to us, it's the only logical choice to make. Negativity does nothing but breed negativity and raise stress, which is a killer.
2. Those who can never just take a sentence at face value, as it stands - always digging for more answers, more info.
3. The smug ones. No matter what Bryan says, they know better, they knew it sooner, and they'd do better, in his shoes. AKA, Monday-morning quarterbackers.
4. The destroyers. I like to refer to J.K.Rowling's description of Dementors in the Harry Potter series. "Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them. Get too near a dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself...soul-less and evil. You will be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life."
