Sometimes I don't know why I can't just accept good things. It's like my mind can't possibly just accept something at face value - it has to think of the worst possible outcome and then muck up the original good deed. Why am I such a Doubting Pinky (or Doubting Thomas, whichever you prefer)? Why can't I just be happy-go-lucky and excited for whatever comes my way? In general I think I'm a somewhat positive person, yet in specific areas (read: relationships), I'm the most Negative Nelly around. Any suggestions?

I have to tell ya that something I had to learn was that when you expect things to be a certain way and they aren't that's when you get upset. Go into it (anything) with no pre-set expectations and enjoy whatever is the outcome. You may be pleasantly suprised. :)
