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.

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.

People have told me, I do not have much empathy. I do not know. I think I have empathy. I have been through alot as have we all. Yes I can be distant. But I beleive I do have empathy when needed. Thanks for your comment.

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

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?

i might sometimes complain but not on a daily basis. i think it's the best to focus more on you and try not to engage so much emotionaly with these people. i know it's impossible perhaps now but go step by step.

yes, you are right. No emotional engagement. Hard, but yes, step by step. Thank you.
