Three steps for dealing with negative people?
Have you met someone who keeps nagging? Have you seen someone who plays the victim role and blames others all the time? I am sure you have. People with negative behaviors are every where. People with negative attitude usually have low self-esteem and are attention seekers. They try to concentrate on negative things most of the time and ignore all the positive things.
If you have to deal with negative people, do the following killer ways:
1. Try to limit your contact with the negative person. If the negative person is your colleague at work, for example, try not to deal with him unless you have to. If it is somebody you can avoid seeing and talking to, then by all means cut your contact with that person at all. No one needs negative person around them.
2. If someone is being negative and argumentative about a subject such as politics, religion, sports among other things, then don’t argue or fight back. Simply switch the subject and don’t pay attention to what the person says. Tell them that each one has different opinion and you don’t want to keep arguing. In other words, agree to disagree.
3. Tell them that you don’t want to spend time talking about negative things and you would rather talk about something more beneficial and positive. Usually, after you ask them to stop being negative, they start avoiding being negative and negative subjects around you. They will know that you can’t get manipulated by them and you will not be negative.
I once knew somebody who loved to spend his time complaining and talking about negative issues. Whatever someone does, he starts gossiping and complaining, hence people stopped liking to spend time with him. Once he knew people kept avoiding him because of his negative behavior, he started to change. Therefore, telling people with negative behavior that you don’t like to take any part in their negative discussions has powerful effects.

Dia,
I liked your article. It was very informative. I totally agree the best way to handle negative people is to not be around them!
Thank you for this great post.
Hi Angela,
Exactly, the best is to avoid such people at all costs. Thanks for your comment and pleasure to have you on this site
I’m sorry, butI cannot believe it is this simplistic. I have met thousands of desperate fellows who would pay tens of thousands to a psychiatrist and result with a large total. I hate challenging you with thisblog, but can you defend your “laws” or at the very least provide a decent explanation of your main argument?
Hi Kelsi,
No one said it is simple to deal with negative people, but if you follow the 3 points I mentioned above, you will learn how to deal with someone who is negative. This is how I personally deal with them. Whenever someone is being negative, I lessen my contact with them. This is one of the most effective methods. I don’t deal with them unless I have to. And if I have to deal with them, I make sure that they know that I don’t want negativity. Of course, you will have to deal with each person separately as each person is different, but in general, these steps work like a charm. If they pay tens of thousands to a psychiatrist and result with a large total as you say, then that means they are not applying what their psychiatrist is telling them.
