How to stay away from negative people

true that it is hard to stay away from negative people and it is harder not to get stress when you hear them. more stressful to stay on that crowd so if you can have a chance to stand up and go out for a while then thats much better. play music so you can sing with it rather than hearing them buzzing in your ears. my wife sings a soft song that other people can not hear so she can take of her ears on such person. hope this helps.

Well, just be a good example to them. Just do your work and not mind their gossips. Whenever they start wagging their tongues, just take a deep breath and momentarily plug your ears with cotton balls, or maybe plug some soothing music into your ears so they will pick up the message. They are only wasting company time, your superiors should know this.

I am surrounded by a lot of negative forces around me these days. I feel bad about it but there's nothing I can do. I hate the idea that I have to be influenced by this kind of thing. I cant stay away from them. They are just around me no matter where I go.

i Totally understand what you mean... i have lots of that in my work too.... they just know how to gossip and sometimes i even feel like they are watching all of my moves... but heres what I always do.. I never talk to those person who I doesnt like.... if i have to talk to them its all because of work... and i will never try to change myself just to please them... I always act confidently i dont care what will they say.. as long as I know im doing my job right, if i need to approach them because of work i also do it... i also say thank u... but no smile for those fake people.. I dont really wanna think that they even exist... and just dont mind them... you know its your life.. and dont get too much affected by those nonethless people who will make or bring your performance down

You should try to avoid situations where you come in contact with negative people. However, if you have to stand next to one, I suggest keeping the conversation light and not to let this person's negative perspective influence you too much. Nothing and no one is perfect. Negativity does not help anything. Try to focus on the positive side of the world and think about the real motivation behind this person's advice. Negativity comes from fear. Negative people are also often selfish, hypocritical, and self absorbed. They do not really care about you. They only give you this negative advice to serve their own egotistical needs.

Hi! I have the same experience in the organization I do volunteer with. Just stay true to your self. Surround your self with close friends you are happy with and stay clear of those backbiters. If you have to deal with them, just deal with them in a civil manner. Don't let them affect you or they win. Be true! ;)

Hi, aileen2008. For me personally, I will not talk to them. I would be quiet when I am around them, but I will have very few words with them. I do stay away from people that are like this though.

It's pretty hard to stay away from all of them, since unfortunatly u must meet with all kinds of people during a day, by accident, or through places like work or school etc. One way is to keep a zen mind about it, i mean to notice the stuff and be aware but not really process it. But I think also that takes alot of mental concentration. Its hard. If its possible, changing jobs would be good. People are happier at work when they have good workmates.

Just ignore them and concentrate on your work.if allowed,have an ipod with you and listen to your favorite songs while you do your work.That will save you from hearing those nasty people.Furthermore,shift your seat away from them.

The best way is to avoid them completely and you will see it is a better way. I had encountered such a person in the office where I was once working and she was completely berserk as she would backbite everyone the whole day so one day I came and when she started talking I said "I got to go in the other office to search for something" and every time I would avoid her till she understood that I do not like her attitudes which is so negative towards others.

I donnot like negative people too,So i will stay away it as soon as possible. With the development of our socity,more and more people change negative,because their think the socity is unfair,so i donnot need to negative ,i will do my best struggle in my life forever.

Me also had a lot of experiences with these negative people. They are bad influence to me and my family. When I encountered them and start talking to other people, I just keep my mouth shut up and later tell them, it's bad to other people negatively.

if im not mistaken, i think almost all company has that kind of a working environment. there are really negative people who tend to drain you out. when i was a call center agent, your situation is just the same with mine. and what i did was just ignore their negative acts if i have to, concentrate on my work and be with those people who are serious with their work.

Continue being nice to them while finding new people to hang around with. There may be some people in your workplace that you don't notice, but they might turn out to be good friends. If it's really not possible, don't think too much about work when you get home. Do other things that would make you happy, so that after all the stress that work causes, you can be sure to have a relaxing time after you leave your workplace everyday.

Thanks to my Allah in my around i don't have such a person. When i meet such a person then i just try to ignore them. I know it's really difficult to ignore them but not impossible. When they come to me then i try to tell them i am very very busy with my work and my life. I know they are just looking for a people who is weak or can not stop them.

Try to appear busy like writing something or use the phone or perhaps type something on the computer if you are not too busy with real work. This will allow you to avoid these busy by telling them you are a bit busy for now and can't talk or other similar things. Just don't be rude, smile to them and then appear to e busy.

Yup, staying away from negative people is not a literal thing. We still listen to them but never entertain their negative suggestions and critics. Few years ago I applied for a low cost housing, that was the one of the first low cost housing built in our place. Some of my friends discourage me to apply because the lot and house is very small besides the material is not too good. My mom said that it is my life and I will be the one to decide. Therefore, I took it and applied for it because that time that is the one that I can afford. Now, some of my friends has still no home and applying for that low cost housing which is much smaller than mine. You may listen to them but if you find out that it's not a constructive comment then don't entertain them.
