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.

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.
