Do you have any in your life? If so how do they make you feel.

I had to block someone on Facebook today as I was sick of her negative posts. Put all her life on there.

I felt like sending her a message to tell her she was draing but I didnt

No. I can't. It's good energy vampirism.

I have a few! Including one who advised me that I shouldn’t be spending money on nice things and that I should be living in poverty whilst saving money.

I move away from negative people until I’m far enough away not to hear them.

Life’s pretty challenging. I want to focus on the bright side

I just "hide" people like that. It's exhausting when all they do is moan/wallow/look on the dark side. Sure we all have problems, but there's always some positives in life!

There seems to be more negative people than ever that I come across

It's hard to be around because all I want to do is laugh and take the piss

I like to balance it all out. Bring people back down to neutral.

Too much positivity is sickening and more often than not forced and overcompensation. It's also far more damaging than negativity in a lot of ways.

Yes I work opposite one. He moans all day about everything and it really is draining, as you say.

He's 29 going on 90!

Some people emit negative energy. They try to project their negativity and problems onto others. Don't let it happen. Keep detached and emotionally independent. Don't own other people's problems.

Pretend to be a woman and play scammers (not quite) at their own game

There was this poor guy who only wanted $500 dollars for a kindle for his special needs son. His kindle got broken by a bully.... Diddums

I told the guy that if his American bank account was suspended he should sell his wedding ring. It's what his dead wife would have wanted

I don’t. But I definitely wouldn’t message them to tell them they’re draining. That feels mean.

It was one of the many reasons I put myself forward for voluntary redundancy. I couldn't stand the negativity from the majority of my colleagues

It’s kind of my job….

It’s circumstancial negativity. And in most cases justified. My job is to give people the tools to overcome & deal with it…

It can be draining. But rewarding.

Being a bully and mean is quite negative.

It's not for all, but certain comments just...

I rather deal with some negative thoughts (mine or others) and try to help/turn things around, than being a horrible human being.

As a genuinely positive person I have no space for deliberate negative nellies. Everyone gets the odd down day here and there but being negative constantly is draining
