Life's too short to spend it surrounded by grumpy people. If you find that dinners with a certain friend lead to diatribes about her bitchy boss, her loudmouthed neighbor, or her cheating ex-boyfriend, then it may be time to stop accepting (and extending) dinner invitations. Put on headphones or shut the door to discourage that co-worker from stopping by to share her latest dating drama. Send an e-mail to your client so you won't have to deal with her any more, or better yet, ask to be assigned to a different account. That will keep you at a safe distance, and they'll eventually get the hint.







HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wholeheartedly agree.

hope you're having a great weekend as well

agreed 100% frank..noone wants to be around negative, angry, sad people...i want happy!!!!

Negativity is the worst!!!

Had to deal with it not to long ago

It brings darkness into my otherwise bright world

I am so positive it made me really see ugliness that scared me

It feels like your in a horror movie!!

But being positive and good hearted always wins!!

Always......and that's a good thing!

you too!

I agree! My last 2 relationships were negative people. I want positive people in my life , not anyone that will bring me down.

I am anchored to the ground, my backpack drags at me
Pinned down by fear and loneliness, by work and gravity
So much to choose, to win, to lose, so much to try to be
I drag my feet. Who am I now? What will become of me?
Then a spring breeze dances through the trees
Whips leaves about in thoughtless delight
Before I can think it snatches me up
Breeze-borne, I vault into the sky
My body lugs my heavy cares to the bus stop
But I, far above, fly free in the wind

Godspeed!Cy

Alway good to encourage each other. Just a smile a laugh can brighten someones day

Negative people do not get me down cause I don't allow them too.
I either avoid them or tune them out. Either way I do not let their negativity influence me. Its their problem not mine!

I agree, if your positive and won't be influence then no matter how negative the person is it will just go over your head.

Have a good weekend yourself mate

People are like emotional vampires, they feed off of your feelings and use them as if they were their own because they have no real personality of their own. Beware of these types. These are the types that enjoy seeing people miserable because they are themselves..

That is one option, yet if they are a friend one could mention that they are grumpy and show them a different alternative of how to live life without being negative and grumpy.

In the end it does require effort, yet if you find your friendship valuable then it is worth it. Will it change the person automatically, well everyone is different, yet you don't know until you try. You might just turn a negative person into a self-awared person who will take a different perspective on life.

Good luck everyone on how you deal with negative people.

I work at a huge Hospital,, Hundreds of staff. very rare to see someone smile, As I walk in to go to work, the people leaving for home look as if they are walking into their death.
I smile most of the time.. won't let them turn me into one of them.

Is great when people glance my way.. flash them a smile and they smile back.

I agree. I have a tendency to be a bit harsh with these people. I know I can handle it better, by I just let my emotions get the best of me. Especially the ones that try turn something wonderful and beautiful, into something ugly.
I will continue to practice tactfulness.

Hey, Negative people are easier to irritate




Don't Panic!

It might be the "flashing" they're smiling at.

Impishly!
