Being surrounded by negative people can really eat up your positive spirit and energy. I can completely relate to it. There’s always that one person or a group of individuals who do nothing with their lives other than spreading their negative spirit to other people.

What’s even worse is when some try to play this nasty act in the form of ‘jokes’. I don’t know about you but for me, if someone did or said something that made me go “err was that even a joke”, then it simply isn’t one because it certainly didn’t make me laugh out loud.

So how do you deal with these negative people in your life?

Well firstly write down the answers to the following 4 questions:

How important is this person or people in your life?
Are you aware of any health conditions or life-altering circumstances that they are going through?
Were they always like this or did something happen that changed them?
Would you feel happy from within your heart if this person or people never existed in your life?
It’s important that you write down the answers to the above questions so we can figure out the right way to deal with them according to where they stand in your life.

I say this because if the negative person or people are your own siblings or people who have meant so much for you in your life, getting rid of them or completely losing contact with them might not be the right solution. Answering those questions will let you know where these ‘negative people’ stand in your life and how much their presence means to you.

Done?

Good. We’ll start off with the person or people who mean something to you in your life. If these individuals are always being negative to you, how can you deal with them?

These are people who used to make you happy and meant so much to you at some point in your life, how did they become so negative all of a sudden? Did you do something that could have upset them in some way? If yes, have you tried apologizing and making some effort to make peace?

If you haven’t, don’t delay any further. If they mean something to you, make peace with them if that would solve their negativity around you. If someone is worth keeping in your life, do whatever possible to make peace with them because the peace and happiness you get after solving the issues out will be priceless for you.

Dealing with negative people who have health issues and/ or are suffering from major life events.

These people absolutely do not have the right to take out their stress on you just because they’re suffering from an illness or a terrible life event BUT, if that’s the case then it’s good for you to be a little empathetic towards them right?

This means you sort of put yourself in their shoe and learn to ignore them for as long as you could simply because you can understand whatever issue that this person is dealing with in their life.

If you’re feeling a little nobler towards this person, you could try talking to them to see if that would help because sometimes we all need someone to just listen and be there for us right? Sometimes you can just look at people and tell that they’re not being themselves. If you feel the same way, try to talk to him or her to see if you can help make them feel any better.

The point here is that in some cases, being nice to negative people makes them become nice eventually. Go for it if you’re willing because who knows you could just end up making a good friend after all their negative spirit is gone.

Now the negative people who mean nothing to you, how do you deal with them?

The first best thing to do is to ignore them and don’t let them know that their negative energy is getting to you. Keep your head up, smile and go on about your daily routine as if these people were invisible.

If ignoring is only boosting them up to keep bugging you more, it’s about time you let them know how annoying they are. It’s quite unbelievable but some people fail to realize that they’re always being negative until someone sits them down and explains it to them. It’s your turn, just do it.

Find a moment to talk to them face to face or by any other way of contact (Phone, email, Fb etc) and let them know how they have been upsetting you. If they didn’t really mean to be getting on your nerves all the time, they will apologize and avoid doing it again.
Is it time to wave goodbye?

If this person or people are purposely being negative to you all the time, their only aim is to see you upset. If ignoring and explaining simply doesn’t work with them, this is when it’s time to wave goodbye to these people in your life.

You’ve tried ignoring, you’ve tried explaining but they simply don’t have any intention to change so it’s not your problem anymore. Delete and block them from all your social networks and remove them from your life as much as possible.

If they don’t mean anything to you, you don’t have to deal with such negativity every day in your life. You can make use of your energy and effort for better uses.
Pursue whatever you’re doing or planning to do and keep yourself happy because these negative people just don’t want to see you smile.
SMILE! Just smile and don’t give them your attention if they do not deserve it.
