Once you have identified with some form of negativity, you do not want to let it go, and on a deeply unconscious level, you do not want positive change. It would threaten your identity as a depressed, angry or hard-done by person. You will then ignore, deny or sabotage the positive in your life. This is a common phenomenon. It is also insane.

Eckhart TolleYour unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.
Eckhart TolleThought alone cannot recognize spiritual truths no matter how highly developed thought is. It's impossible.
Eckhart TolleBut there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.
