In our daily life quite often we come across some negative people who tries people to lower their self esteem. Such people always tend to generalise what they say. I think the easiest thing to do is feel negative alongwith with such pessimist. What do you think?

Fortunately, I'm not very sensitive so negative people around me don't influence me quite easily. Though, when I was shown by a behavior indicating that they don't like something that I've done (or it seems like it was it they're talking about), I am easily bothered and my mood will be affected and eventually will be ruined. Well, I don't go near pessimists. If so, I'm pretty frank and tell them that they're ruining my mood because of their negative thinking. I won't sacrifice my good day for a pessimist like him/her.

dont absorb the negativity... repell it and replace it with positivity from your end. we can meet different kinds of people and different personality types... sadly some are wayy to pessimistic that they dont only let themselves down, but others who are close to them...
i have know one who's been having her sickness treated. She;s gone weak recently but i told her not to be sooo overworked and not to worry much... she would just give me negaitve comments but i hever did stop telling her how lucky she is to afford whatever she has right now... so im like an everyday reminder for her to take her medicine etc etc.
