Excessive Seriousness Decreases Our Quality Of Lives
I have sometimes been told that I am too serious.
I've already noticed that, and sometimes, this character suffered me. Whether I couldn't enjoy dinner with my friends during the time before exams. There was no mental space to enjoy situations due to too much seriousness.
It's necessary to face at this character and handle it.
Be Optimistic As Usual, Be Serious Sometimes.
Some people stigmatize optimism as irresponsibility, but I believe it is necessary to enjoy our lives.
The balance between optimism and seriousness matters. As it depends on characteristics of each person, it is good for me to be usually optimistic and be sometimes serious.
Being optimistic at any difficult situation is one of the good skills, while being too much optimistic deteriorates themselves as well.
I hope to find a good balance for me and live a better life mentally.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate the original English level of this blog post as a 6. The meaning was clear overall, but there were several grammatical issues, awkward phrasing, and some expressions that weren’t idiomatic. However, with a few adjustments, the post reads much more smoothly and naturally.
