I identified so many of them in myself and I now have a term for it when I use it in my characters. I tend to be incredibly positive and optimistic in real life and it comes through sickeningly sweet in my characters all too often. I look forward to experimenting with more of the "dark side." :D Thank you SO much!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00950934503254500613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-12396695528329694482011-05-01T10:59:21.612-06:002011-05-01T10:59:21.612-06:00Just passing through my blogroll when this one cau...Just passing through my blogroll when this one caught my eye!

I was completely unaware of the schemas, but I clearly recognize two people I am close to in the Negativity/Pessimism and one of my characters exhibits traits much like you described in the Punitiveness schema. I am glad to learn the name for this behavior.<br /><br />Thanks for all the information.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-67209220492631220502011-04-28T22:54:48.469-06:002011-04-28T22:54:48.469-06:00I grew up with a negative/pessimism person, so can...I grew up with a negative/pessimism person, so can totally relate - maybe their extremity on pessimism is why I just always think everything will work out fine (sinking tin boat in the middle of the ocean with sharks circling? - I'm sure it'll turn out just fine).<br /><br />These schemas have been great for applying to characters - I'm sure I will get to use them many times, thanks for all the effort you've put into these posts. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://clancytales.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Wagging Tales - Blog for Writers</a>Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-13964873824730795222011-04-28T20:42:44.879-06:002011-04-28T20:42:44.879-06:00I totally see a little of myself in all the schema...I totally see a little of myself in all the schema's you've mentioned- maybe that's why I feel so crazy inside! :)Whitney and Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903056174548031101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-25177622404102595842011-04-28T20:19:21.375-06:002011-04-28T20:19:21.375-06:00Pam I think that is a great idea.

I was always trying to come up with a character that fit into them. I noticed that some of the shcemas are more widely used than others.
