staying away from tooo negative people

This is a really smart choice. It seems that whatever we concentrate on is what increases in our life. By making positive choices and not complaining you are going to have increased happiness and prosperity. If there is a problem then instead of complaining about it, they should brainstorm a solution

Hello Jazel, I hope that you are fine. Negative people is sick people, get away from them you can get ill too. It´s contagious. Blessings Jazel... dainy

a pleasant day jazel_juan, what you have posted is really right, thus, staying away from negative people will help you to think and be more positive in things. aside from that, staying away from those negative people will helps you to eliminate bad vibes.

Well, nowadays, dear friend, you should know that unfortunately, some more, some a little less all complain about their money! This we do in our own family. However, I believe that define "negative people" those who complain that they have problems, and perhaps a somewhat little "orthodox." Let's say that the people you described, perhaps a bit too live in the pessimism and they do not believe in the fact that to be a bit better, in this life, sometimes you have to strive a little and begin to "see in a positive way." The world nowadays is not a good situation. We must all pray and hope that the situation global, improve in a not too distant future!

If you stay away from them, how will they know there is a positive approach to their problems? This might be the cause why we have too many pessimistic people. Optimistic ones are too afraid of them while on the other hand they are not. Thus, pessimistic ones are converting more negative people. Maybe we could try to approach them and convert them into optimistic individuals. Then the world will be a better place to live.

In life, it is overly important to make sure that you surround yourself with positive things and people. Because, in life, you will encounter many hardships, and sometimes it will be unbearable. If you have a support system of people that constantly cheer you on, or help as much as they can; then what you face won't seem so bad. No one wants to be constantly bashed about how they will never make it in life or amount to anything. Those are the type of people that are going to fall and fast. So steer clear of negative people and negative things. Keep yourself surrounded by positive people, and life will work better in your favor.

I know what you mean! Luckily my inner circle of close friends is made up of people like me, who realize that just sitting around and complaining about things doesn't help any situations at all. We're all really positive, optimistic thinkers who do lend an ear if one of us needs to vent but if I start complaining too much, my friends will literally stop me and tell me to chill out and point out all the positive things I have going in my life. And I do the same for them, when they start to feel overwhelmed or bummed out, so I'm really thankful for having such a great, strong support system! But I definitely don't like to dwell on conversations revolving around complaints or angsty rants. I try and be nice and respectful but honestly I don't like being around people who always seem to have something negative to say or talk about, or try and get attention by ranting about every bad thing that happened to them recently. It just kills your mood and dampens your day, even if you had a great day and a positive attitude.

I wonder what is the environment at your workplace... seems you guys chit chat all day long and do no work...... poor boss

I too feel the same way as you do. Constantly complaining only exudes a negative aura. Negativity affects other people's moods. When people around me say negative things, I always end up feeling drained and down. Staying away completely from complaining people might not be possible. But at least we can influence them a little bit by trying to shift the conversation when it starts to become negative.

With a lot of problem in life that we are facing now.. I think the only thing that we can do is to be positive...Being positive will help us to stay calm , and being calm would help us to think efficiently to come up with the solutions with our problem in life... But sometimes we cannot blame other people who releases their frustrations by being vocal or being expressive of their emotions... so maybe that is their way to be relieved from their emotional problems..

Hi, You are right. We should stay away from the people who are negative. The always talk negatively and discourage the other people also. When we are in problem and someone talks negatively at that time we also have some bad effect on our thinking. So I also try to neglect these people. We should always have hope of good or a positive approach towards our life.

I am actually surrounded with too many negative people. people who never seem to realize the blessings they have and always talk about negatively towards others. I usually stay away from them as much as possible because they drain my energy. I feel bad whenever i am around them so I need a place to stay away from them.

I have relatives who love complaining. I do complain at times, too. But the difference is I complain and do something about it, while all they do is talk. Times are hard these days, they would say. I agree, that'w why even if I stay home with my kids, I still look for alternative ways to earn even a few bucks, rather than to stay home, complain and bum around. My point is, if you are not doing anything to improve the situation you're in, don't complain. You don't have the right to.

I know the feelings. One time I entered a room smiling and feeling great. Then one started to complain about anything under the sun. And another person followed and another person followed until I feel sad and angry and started complaining about my job. It is really contagious. Times like this, I walk out of the room and get some fresh and positive air somewhere. On the other hand, it is worth trying to be a positive influence to other by starting a conversation with how blessed I am with a friend or how thankful I am that good things do happen, etc. Maintaining my positive outlook and sharing this to people might help create a happy community.

I'm trying to be more positive, but lately I think I have been the complaining one. I think I'll try to be more positive in my speech and if I have a problem, to just state it for what it is instead of whining.

Hi Juan, There is no such too negative people. The attitude itself matters. Normally when people dont have much to do they start complain. They are lazy and dumb idiots who does not like to work at all. So always keep away from them and dont help them in any ways

hi jazel juan oh yes there was one resident here whom I got friendly with only to find she was on e of themost negative people i had ever known. She ocmplained from morning to evening and talkled about t he food oh she would talk my ear off with how bad everything was til I foundd ways of n t having to talk to her then my son got my monitor and my computer out of storage and I stasyed here in myh room and mylotted so I did not have to feel down all day byh listening to her b.i.t.c.h. all day. WE have a few foods not so much f un bu t most are edible. Also ehat good did it do to find fault unless there was something you could do to solve the problem.

Yes true. If you really want to have positive outlook in your life, you should avoid joining negative people.

Just ignore them. And always think positive. Never listens to them. When they are talking negative, just think of your good sweet memories and don't care for them.

Through them son sunshine girl! Perhaps they don't a proper outlet for their rants that's why they exhaust their vocal cords and mouth to let the negativity out. And I feel you. So annoying how bothering their every-day-ranting-time-only-to-you. Luckily, I can manage to escape those situations without being rude. Hehe :D But whenever I can't escape the NVs, I make sure I joke about it then change topic. Hehe! So we can move one and have positive ones. However, when I can't control being irritated. I sometimes give a serious advice then change topic again. LOL! :D
