Stay away from negative people!

Yes, I prefer to stay away from negative people, because I don't want to be contaminated with something negative. It is very bad to life in the negative situation.

It is better to stay away from such kind of people and surround yourself with positive people. But what if it happens to be your friends? Perhaps they became very negative due to some reasons. Would you leave them instead of helping them out because of this belief and fearing they might influence you? It is still in your hands if you let them. You have your brain to freely decide.

It's happening to me, tried to tolerate a co worker of mine who is very negative but she always do it no matter how I correct her! This time I will try my best to draw a line between our friendship...It's very influential which is not good!

Negative people consume the positive mind of the others,we have to be away of that kind of people,there are too much bad things happening in the world, to join to our life more problems with their negativity.

YOu are right. Staying with negative people will just influence you to be negative aswell. If you want to live a hapy life, choose the right people to go with. There are a lot of vices in this worl and once you get introduce to one, it is hard to get out of it. If you are with people with negative aura, beware.

The things that i have learned so far out of life (and from reading a few life books like The Secret) is that what you feel is what you get, being in company of a group or individual that is negative would surely affect you in one way or another, it could be the way you think, your emotions and feelings at that moment. So i guess i were in that situation i would surely stay away from that negative person. If i had to choose either to be with myself or to be with that kind of person. i would choose to be with myself, as it's hard to be positive about life if someone is clinging on you to be down about it. :D

Hello We should always stay from people who have negative thought because this could bring negativity in our minds too. I do not like be friendly with those person who appear to me of negative bend of mine and shun away these kind of persons. It is always better to be among those friends who are positive and always go for positive things. Positivity brings success in our life.

Let's say that the negative person(s) is a fire. Do you.. 1) Stand aside so it can burn as it will to, perhaps, damage and/or destroy what is important to you? or 2) Confront it and attempt to put it out to protect what is important to you? The people who do the most damage are the people who do nothing.. Enjoy!

The thoughts of negative people are oh-so-contagious. I'm really pissed when I am with negative people. I told myself that i will shun from this people because they won't do good in my life. As of this moment, There are no negative people in my side! I can feel the Good Energy that is flowing in my blood streams.

You are right. One bad apple does spoil the whole barrel. Negativity spreads and the only way to stop it tainting you is to walk away. It is no good arguing with a negative mind-set as not much will change it into a positive one. I keep away from people who pull me down and try to spoil my day. I live as positively as I can and try to see the good in everything and at least try to teach others to do the same.

Hello befrindwithme26, That's true we should stay away from the negative people as their negativity may effect us too and really its tough for us to always guide them and tell them not to be negative.I always remain positive in life and keep company of people who are positive towards life and who always take challenges with smile.

Yes, as much as possible, I stay away from negative people and negative thoughts. Of course, I do this because I want to maintain a positive outlook in life and negativity will never help on this principle of mine. But yes, we can't do away with the negativity after all. So what I do is to confront negativity with a positive note. I remember one time that I walked into the area of one of my colleagues at work. She had a bad temper and the moment I walked inside her door, she started talking out loudly and angrily at me. I just kept my cool and replied to all the things that she said in a polite and nice manner. Very soft spoken at that. It ended up that her bad tempered subside when I didn't bulged into being angry. Then she realized that her problem can be easily solved. I believe that not being caught too much by your emotions, like being bad tempered or angry, can make one see things in a clear and reasonable manner. Then we can be calm and think of great solutions without having to deal with the stress of the temper. Just my two cents in here!

It is okay to be with negative people as long as you know where you stand. You yourself should know what is right. As for that situation, you should tell that person nicely. You should try to weight things all the time.

i know a lot who are pessimistic. I agree, stay away from those people. Their responses would make you down. see the difference if you are with those positive ones, more good news would come to you.

I don't really like being around people with negative thoughts, as it seems that they just drag things down and such. It's just not really pleasant, when I find myself with this sort of person.

I think you're very right when you say that you should stay away from people who are negative all of the time. The reason for this is that they will make you feel as though you're down like they are if you spend too much time with them. I have some friends who are just like that, and I cannot tell you the amount of stress that I have been through during the course of my friendship because of the fact that they're just so negative. You have to learn to get people out of your life who are making it a misery, though.

It depends upon who you call negative people. To me negative people are those who are constantly trying to do some harm to others. Even those who are inconsiderate to others feelings qualify, but not those who are desperately trying to survive. Yes, people are often sad. Some may have more problems on hand at present, so we can listen to their problems. If we've been through those, may be we can offer solution. If not, we can keep our eyes and ears open to find some solution. Believe me we become more dynamic with such brain application. Someday in future, we our our dear ones may face similar problems. We can at that point of time pour our wisdom. So I am of the opinion that each problem that god gives to us or brings before us is like a puzzle which needs to be solved. It is not necessary that we solve every one of those puzzles. But we score. The more we score, the more we are ahead in the race. Yes, if the story is repeated too often it does get on nerves. But it has cathartic effect on the person. I think the person can be called depressed or in need of psychiatric help only if the person is unable to think of anything else. That happens very rarely. Such a person has truly magnified that pain to gigantic proporptions. You would realize that such a person is unwilling to take any help from you. So if you can steer him or her to right channels - psychiatrist, or steer clear otherwise, the person can encroach upon your time for your mental health.

it is not that the perosn is wrong or does want something or expects soemthing negative happen.These are people who are more experienced as they experience some thing in their own life,they try to suggest others from going in and getting a fall.Some fear for things so they say somethign negative,When a negative person is nearby the other perosn will become a positive one,As there is always no adjustment or agreeing to others statements.
