Hi All, I would like to know how you get along with negetive people. People that make a problem from everything. People that are good people, but always need someone to complain about . It is always someone elses fault never theirs. When they talk it is in detail , and I am like, please come to the point. How do you, get along with these kind of people without hurting their feelings??
It is hard enough to stay positive in this day and age, but I rather try and stay positive than complain the whole day about things I cannot influence.

i always try to find reasons and understanding behind "negative" behavior/talk. i try to influence them in changing of perspective and looking at life more positively. i don't always succeed
and if nothing changes - just leave that energy. it's better to be alone if that kind of people burden you.

@Margajoe the person needs to be ready to hear different perspectives and be open minded. if he/she's "fixed" in one way of thinking - no amount of your effort will help them

@aureategloom ,yes I believe you are right. I use to think I could help people to be more positive. But I realize this is not always possible ,unless the person understands that they act this way and want to change.
But how can you still be around these kind of people and just not let it in? Not let it bother me. Should I maybe set more bounderies? Or be more direct?

That is the best thing to do, I agree. Problem is I have change during the last years. But, my friends are not changing with me. hahaha!
I did turn away from lots of negative people that I use to hang out with. I heard they have been saying that I am pycho. hahaha! But, I feel alot beter without them.

My mother is always fussing that I am always negative. But I don't complain about everything.

Oh, they are always everywhere, whom "I see" with empathy.

@Margajoe I believe you do brighten up somebody's countenance once they get to know you better. :-)
