Hello dear Mylotters. I have an interesting question to ask you all! I have been facing this problem from a friend of mine, who tries to prove that all that he says and thinks are the only right things in the world. If we say anything, something like, this company ice cream is better than the other, then there is something that he has to tell that you do not know about these ice cream people and he will start speaking something negative about the company. There is always a negative version of everything on the world which he knows. He never looks into life positively, or infact, he will never say that someone is good. According to him, everyone in this world are bad, everybody are cheaters and everybody are trying to fool you. I always end up with an argument when we start speaking about anything. But most of the times, I juts give up because I do not like arguing with anyone that much. If you are friends with someone like this person, how will you manage to prove your point and make him realize that, we should not be the judges to speak about others goodness and badness.
help me friends.
Cheers:)

Yes. The world consists of positive people and negative people. Majority of us are sane majority occasions. A few are not sane all the time. Totally negative people--keep yourself away from him.
One need not have money but one has to have confidence and positive outlook. If that is not there is no life.

But would you give up on your friend just because he is not positive about anything in this world?! If so, then what is the meaning of the friendship that we had for so many years. Isn't it friendship to show the right path to your friend when he is not on the right path!?
Would you stay away from your friend?!

yes. it depends on the importance we give for such friendship. If the person is correctable then it is ok. From what you have written, I perceive the person to be negative. If you consider the friendship a must-- then you can try to influence change or be influenced by him.

We are created unique.So what good to others maybe bad for you. Comparing is not helpful. What he said is just his opinion. It is not the same with what we have on our mind. Maybe the problem with him is that he view life negatively, that's why he is blinded by negativity.Tell him or try to explain that you don't think the same way and we are all different. Don't argue with him . Speak in a low manner.

hi 5mahi I had a friend here like that. She latched onto me and just filled my ears with all the stuff she disliked. the med. person
is unfair, the care givers are mean, the food is too cold,or too hot,or too tough or too greasy. I tried to instill some positive thinking in like but"the beef stew is great, and the spaghetti was really good, the eggplant Parmesan is one of my favorite. she wo ld acknowledge this . then right back, " the cereal is too thin, the bread is mostly white bread and on and on. I finally would hide when I saw her coming as she made me feel depressed before she was
through with me.With her proving your point was like trying to keep a snowball from melting in hell, it could not be done.
