Negative Peoples In Your Life:
5 Tips to Deal With Them..!
- Sharanya Cr
There are friends, colleagues & well-wishers
who always desire the best for you. But there are few others, who would seize
upon an opportunity to put you down, no matter what.
Be it their negative talks about their lives or / generally their pessimistic outlook, looking at an opportunity to bog your
energy levels down, whining endlessly, feeling insecure or always giving
negative feedback about your achievement dreams -being around negative people
certainly isn't the best feeling.
This might influence you and probably affect your
personal life as well. So, here are some tips to deal with negative people...
1. KEEP THEM INVISIBLE..!
People with negative energy can be your colleague
or even your friend.So, it might be impossible to avoid them completely .
During these times, picture them as invisible
people. For instance, if you have people at work who bog you down with negative
talks, try to keep the conversation short.
You can even put the earphones on & avoid
their presence. If heshe happens to be your friend, make sure you go with the
gang to avoid conversing on a one-on-one basis.
2. TRY ON TO PASS ON POSITIVITY TO THEM..!
So, their negativity influences you to a great
extent. But consider this: why don't you pass on some of your positivity to
them? Negative people, sometimes, can even cost the relationship.
But, if you really care about them, you can
always have a chat on how to see things in a positive manner. Identify the good
things about them and work on that to see a change in them.

May be, all they need right now is help.
Motivating them to think positively might have an impact on their thinking,
too.
3. DON'T TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY..!
They might make statements that spoil your mood.
Try not to take them seriously .
You need not be rude, but respond to them firmly
.
They will eventually get the point that you are least interested in giving
attention to them.
4. DON'T ARGUE WITH THEM..!
They might hurt you or initiate an argument to
lead you on, but don't get into an argument with them.
Negative people seldom tend to agree with you.
They might not even listen to your side of the story . So, there is no point
arguing and making them understand.
So, even if they pick up a fight, the best thing
to do is to reply with an indifferent `OK'.
5. AVOID THEM..!
If nothing works, the best way out is to avoid
them. It might be hard on you and on them as well.
After all, you guys would have shared a great
rapport at some point in life. But at the end of the day, you need to
concentrate on making your life better.
With the rat race and hectic lifestyle, taking
negative energy is the last thing you would want to do. Even after several
attempts, if people refuse to change, the best way is to avoid contact. But
make sure you don't cut them off all of a sudden.
Slowly avoid their calls messages meetings and
lastly, have a chat with them that this is the reason why you do not want to
pursue the relationship. If they are really true to the friendship, they will
eventually get back.
