What is a sour grapes attitude?

If you ate a sour grape, your face would get all squishy and you would say ew, eh, blah. If some one suggests something to you and your face gets all squishy and you say ew, eh, blah, you have a sour grape attitude.

Or...

The Aesop's fable where the fox said that the grapes that he couldn't reach were sour, just because he couldn't reach them might be related to a sour grape attitude.

Answer:

A sour grapes attitude is when there is nothing sweet about you at that moment. You are bitter and no matter what anyone else does or says, you remain bitter. If someone tries to show you the positive side of whatever situation is ailing you, and you rebut everything that they say with a negative comment; that is a sour grape attitude. ~ KOREAN1
