Try to change their attitude. I know it's not easy and could be a total waste of time. Sometimes negative people are looking for attention. Those who are constantly complaining, might be looking for emphaty. I can understand that but this however can be very tiering and energy consuming for others. Maybe if you can make them understand that this is bad for both parties, you can change them. But they have to see the benefits of being positive. </p><p>2. Avoid and ignore them. Ignorance hurts the most. This can be a wake up call for them. Some might realize what they are loosing, others might get stubborn and continue to be negative because winning feels great and they can't give up. In this case I usually walk away and cut them out of my like if i can.</p><p>Positivity will always win over negativity, I'm pretty confident about that. Positivity has way more benefits than negativity. </p><p>Positive people will always be popular and gather a lot of people around them. Negative people will not. </p><p>Everyone deserves to be helped but I'm not going to waste my time on negative people, especially when I see they enjoy being negative and have no intention of changing. We only live once and life is short. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p37t6v7lx","appParentAuthor":"asiwajupe","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
