How to Deal with Negative People?

You should accept the fact that you cannot ignore every negative person on this planet, there will be times when you will have to deal with them having no alternative. With this attitude in mind, you should approach negative people and then only you will be able to handle them in the right way. Here are few handy tips which will help you in dealing with negative people more effectively.

  • Incline towards positivity – one of the most common things found in negative people is that they tend to ignore positive aspects and get more inclined towards negativity. They seem to exaggerate pity issues and make predicament look a lot more worse then what actually it is. The first time you converse with a negative individual, offer a listening ear and provide help if needed. Try to provide support but if the person keeps on nagging on the same problem over and over again without any improvement then it is the indication for you to disengage. You can even try to switch topics if possible. Do not engage yourself in the negativity, you can give simple replies like “okay” or “I see”. On the other side if you listen something positive then reply must be done with enthusiasm and with affirmation. He/she will realize it very soon what you are trying to do.
  • Spend time in groups – it is better to have someone around with you when dealing with negative person because then the negative energy will be divided between you and other members. The more people you have around the less effect negativity will have upon you. You will not be burnt with the negative fire wholly. Another positive effect of having people around is that they will be able to show the negative person a different side of the world which is less pessimistic. This can bring a lot of positive light in the individual.
  • Time spent with them – according to Jim Rohn, you have the most effect on yourself of the person you spend your most time with, which is what you actually become. You yourself would get to know about this phenomenon as you must have felt a lot of pessimism as soon as converse with a negative person.

Keep these tips in mind and dealing with negative people will be a lot easier.
