I gave this list a lot of thought. I was surprised on how many people I know that have a few of these traits. One I know has them all. How do we deal with people like this when you are the total opposite????? I feel sad for people like this who are so unhappy they love making the lives of others miserable.

Funny you mention this, I was just thinking about someone who has most of those traits. She is my sister-in-law and one of the most negative, spiteful and hateful people I have ever known. I have always tried to stay on her "good-side" so as not to get cut off from my neice and nephews. It's so tiring to talk to her...she does not become animated until something stupid that somebody else has done comes up, she thinks all her neighbors stare at her and watch what she is doing, she can do everybody else's job better than them (even though she's only worked 2 years her entire adult life.) Nobody walks, talks or drives right. BLAH BLAH BLAH....IT'S SO BORING!
I usually ignore her and just place the "ah, hmm, wow" in the appropriate places until I can get to the others in the family. Right now she's mad at me, but it doesn't really matter anymore cz all the kids and my brother have their own cell phones!! YEAH!!!!

Isn't is just draining? I had a friend like that....HAD. They tend to get mad because you don't listen to their crapola and get the negative attention they crave!

Hello Pink,I think the world today is swarming with people who have one or more of such traits. At first it was difficult to deal with such persons because I got hurt by their behavoiur rather easily.But now ,through experience,I have learned to take things in their stride .I always anticipate hwo such people will react in various situations,and deal with things in such a manner that I always get the upper hand,no matter what...

I'm trying to do that because these sort of people are very draining.

Yes, one comes across people having some or many of these traits. Not all, though. The one you mentioned seems to be an exception. Many a times it is difficult to get along with such people. But sometimes you cannot avoid. So, perhaps, the answer is to learn to live with such people.It is also important to know that at times our own negative attitude towards someone, even if formed accidentally, tends to accentuate our coloured perceptions about him/her. As a result we live in a vicious circle and it is never resolved. Can we avoid it to make this world more positive?

I am learning to avoid these types of people. We are all guilty of sometimes being negative. If I feel myself thinking about someone in a negative sense I try to turn it around and think of something good. After all there is goodness in each and everyone of us.
Thank you for your response.
