Some people glow with cheerfulness, radiating positive. At the same time, there are individuals from whom negative emotions emanate. Not only is it uncomfortable to communicate with them. They can infect you with their pessimism.
Protect from negative influences
If there is a person in your environment who is constantly out of sorts, always dissatisfied with something, complains about life and criticizes everything and everyone, this can greatly poison the communication in the team. Try to avoid frequent contact with such a gloomy person, do not spoil your mood. Try to literally ignore the caustic remarks and boorish actions of this person. The less you pay attention to such a person, the less negativity comes to you from the outside.
Treat with some condescension to the person who does not see anything good in life. If you feel sorry for the poor fellow, this will already help you not to take the negative emotions that come from him seriously. Some negative personalities may be hostile. Their rudeness is a kind of provocation, and it's up to you whether to succumb to it or not to react to such a person.
Do not waste time and energy trying to prove to everyone who is always dissatisfied that everything is not so bad. Don't argue, don't argue for an optimistic view of the world. Let everyone remain unconvinced. Understand that this person is just comfortable in a position of offended and deprived.
Resist the negativity
It happens that a pessimistic person tries to influence you, imposes his negativity on you. You shouldn't share your plans with such skeptics, lest they destroy your enthusiasm. Believe in your own strengths, trust your dreams, and don't listen to gloomy people who criticize your goals.
Don't take other people's opinions to heart. Then someone's sarcastic remarks will not deeply hurt you. In order not to get upset because of the negative statements of others, oppose them with your positive. Try to always smile and carelessly dismiss doubts, unfavorable forecasts of various skeptical personalities. Think with your head and don't let others influence your mood.
If you need to communicate with a negative person, for example, due to a debt of work, try to distract from the emotions that this person causes in you. Focus exclusively on the professional issues you are discussing. Don't let the conversation drift away. Express yourself clearly and clearly. If you can't do this, and the person still pours out his negativity on you, think about something of your own.
