How can I stay positive around negative people?!


Question: How can I stay positive around negative people!?
Answers:
Its a sad fact that most folks today are gripers, complainers, grousers, and bitchers!. People prefer to be negative in the workplace, home, and generally anytime when things arent going perfect for them!. Hey, its easy to be upbeat when everything is going alright!. Folks with character make the best out of anything they face and its much more pleasant for those who are around them!. If you cant remove yourself from their presence, then the best thing is not to add to their comlpaining and negativity!. If you can say something positive and change the direction of the conversation, it is good!. If they wont allow it, just be quiet until you can remove yourself from the situation!. You cant make folks change unless they want to, you can only take yourself out of the environment!. Thanks for the question and good luck to you!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a tough one! Try to keep your visits short!. One thing that helps me is every time I hear a negative comment, I try to make 2 positive comments to change the mood in the room!. If it seems like the person is getting irritated with your positive commenting, you can make the positive comment in your head!. It helps even if you can only make the comment to yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!. Grin and bare it
2!. Laugh at their cruelty
3!. Try not to hang around them much if possible
4!. Bring up positive things but make sure to argue your point
5!. Totally avoid the negative people or just act uninterested in their negative qualities

Eventually you'll become negative because you may adapt to their ways!. So if you can, leave them alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't let other people's negativity get to you and put you in a negative mood!. If ever anyone says something negative just make a joke about it or mention the lighter side of it!. If you take everything lightly and smile (not in a rude way but in a nice way) then chances are others will fall into the same good mood!. Be strong!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I try very hard to shake my head and realize that their outlook does not have to be mine, and that they are missing all the good bits!.

Filter it out, make your own path, and smile right through it!. In the end, you'll have had the better experience, and come out much higher in the pack mentally than anyone else who doesn't see life in such a positive way!Www@Answer-Health@Com

if possible, tell the negative people right out that they are causing you a migrane and you really love them but for the loveofgod could you stop telling me how bad things are because I just can't take it anymore and if you don't stop I'm likely to commit great bodily injury to youWww@Answer-Health@Com
