How do you stay positive around negative people,?
Kind of hard to stop being around them when they are your parents isn't it? I have a friend who is very negative about almost everything - finds the negative in almost any situation - and like someone else suggested, for everything negative I try to counter it with something positive - I've know him for a little over a year I can't always do it - but try to most of the time - but I don't think he's caught on yet - it at least helps me feel better to counter with a positive thing. Parents sometimes without really meaning to make our kids feel like the bad stuff going on in families is the kids fault - when it's really the parents fault. However, at some point you do have to start taking responsibility for your life and do things that you should be doing - so you can do the things you want. Sometimes things may be going on that the kids aren't always aware of too - and how old is your mom? is she having problems with her hormones or getting ready to go through menopause??? You're not the parent - you don't need to take care of your parents but - a lttle joking can sometimes help lighten up the situation. Not everything is your fault. I like to put positive sayings and funny comics on my door and will often stop and read one or two on my way out the door - or if I'm just up pacing around the house. They help. maybe you could find a comic about a constant grouch and put it on the frig. but something that's funny. or maybe just go up and give your mom a hug and tell her you love her. good luck with this - stay positive, believe in yourself.
How to deal with negative people?
My mom is very negative. She just gives off this negative energy. She is very unhappy because of her marriage. She likes to make everybody around her unhappy. My sister and I are very positive people and when we are around her, we get depressed and unhappy. My parents are always fighting. It's honestly nothing new. I thought it was normal to be in this type of environment but after doing research and being around other families, I noticed it's not. I am a college student and it's hard for me to study and focus with all of the negative energy in my house. I wish my parents would divorce but my dad doesn't have a backbone and my mom didn't graduate from high school so she is only with him financially. I would move out but I have no where to go. The economy is hard and I don't have a job. I'm saving up money from my financial aid but that's pretty much it. My parents are fighting right now . When ever you feel sad is how I feel all the time. But my birthday is in 8 days atleast.
Why is everything around me so negative?
Im just trying to gain some perspective on all the negative things that seem to always surround me. Im a good person, I treat people the way i expect to be treated and yet I dont seem to recieve what I give. Am I too nice to people? Is there such a thing? I try to live my life free of the drama and bull **** but it always seems to find me. In the last year of my life I have gone to great lengths to rid myself of all the negativity. But no matter who is in my life they always seem to disappoint me. At times I would rather just pick up and leave everything behind me. Friends, family, all of it. Its a constant struggle to trust people and to get anything real from people. I think the majority of pepple in this world are fake and have an agenda. To exploit for their own personal gain leaving whomever in their wake. Why i cant I ever find peace of mind?
Why are virgos such negative people...?
My gf of 4 yrs is a Virgo and she is not negative. Me, an Aries, on the other had am pretty negative about things. If it wasnt for her positivity I'd probably be a super negative person with a lot of situations. Maybe its just those persons personalitys.
Why do I always think negative about myself?
Every day I constantly put myself down, telling myself that I'm ugly, that I screw up everything and that no one likes me, and stuff like that. I have very few friends, and only one that I really get to see. I mainly have no friends because I keep to myself most of the time. When he goes out with friends or talks to people I start thinking that he likes all his other friends better then he does me that i'm just worthless, which in the end makes me feel depressed and he sees that I'm sad and starts feeling bad because he thinks its his fault, and I don't want to tell him its just me being stupid making myself feel bad again.. Is this a type of depression or is there a way to make this stop? I have tried to think positive but I rarely can.
Do You Get Drained By Negative People?
My husband is the most negative person I know. If one of the children do well on a test, a report card, or complete their chores without being reminded he ignores them, but the very second that one forgets to empty the garbage, comes home late, etc. then he is all over them. He focuses all of his attention on what goes wrong instead on what goes right. He works and conives to avoid what might go wrong instead of working to make something go right. He wears me out. I mean, I am so tired after talking to him that I just want to go to bed and forget his existence.
