How to Deal with Negativity in Your Life
Negativity affects us all and sometimes we can’t identify it right from the start. Sometimes we tend to be pessimistic about situations, outcomes, people and sometimes other people around us seem to surround us with negativity. We feel sad, drained of energy and hopeless but we can’t find the reasons why.

Once you identify or admit to yourself that you only see the empty half of the glass, you can start making some changes. Nobody deserves to feel miserable most of the time and there are many things to be happy and grateful about.

The Distance

Some friendships can be toxic. There are some negative people out there who seem to enjoy dragging other people with them in a world filled with misery and hopelessness. A negative person is full of rage and hate and it will also aggravate your mood, make you feel tired because this kind of negativity can drain all of your energy. What you have to do is distance yourself from these people, even if it seems hard. True friends would never do something to cause you harm, no matter what.

They Highlight Your Flaws

A true friend will always tell you the truth or give you a constructive feedback. A person who is filled with negativity will only emphasis your flaws and your mistakes, but he or she will never offer you a piece of advice or a useful solution to the problem you are facing. Do you need this bad vibe in your life? Better stick with your true friends, they will always be there for you and bring out the best in you.

The Work Environment

So you are a manager or a leader. But you are dealing with a negative employee. Negativity tends to spread so easily. Your other employees used to be satisfied with their jobs and tasks and they were so productive. Now, since this negative person arrived, things aren’t running so smoothly. Talk with the person that’s so pessimistic about everything. Try to find out the root of the problem and see if this is a temporary thing or a prevailing attitude. Then you can either help that person out or fire her or him if the behavior doesn’t improve a bit. As harsh as it may sound if this person is constantly displeased with everything even if you and your employees are doing their best, the negative person should look for a better job.

You Can Identify Negativity

Our instincts never fail us. If you feel uncomfortable, uneasy and tensed when you’re next to a person, those are signs that the company is toxic for you. Negativity can easily be spotted, just pay more attention to the feelings and moods that you have.

It Doesn’t Concern You

You are not a bad person if you just leave. If you decide not to have negative persons around you. It’s highly unlikely that you can do something about it or help these persons out. Only a therapist can solve these things out. You don’t need to complicate your existence with all this negativity. Leave it all behind and be happy and grateful for the friends that love you and for the life you have. The rest doesn’t concern you.
