Emotionally "draining" people

My glass is always half full, not half empty. I find I have to avoid people who are naturally "dour". Not because they wind me up or annoy me, but because they make me feel physically tired, as if they are sucking the energy out of me. I'm not talking about people who are ill, just people whose natural outlook is to see the negative in everything. I feel physically tired in their presence. Does anybody else experience this?

Aren't perpetually cheerful people a little irritating, too, though?

My job involves working with these type of people on a daily basis. I believe this is why my annual leave is so good!

That reminded me of the character Alec Baldwin played in Friends

He was an annoying pain in the arse

Some of the mums at school are draining with their 'perfect' lives and forever grins, sounds weird but no one can be that happy the whole time!!

And yeah people that are so down all the time really had any effect on me, life drainers, so I try not to surround my self with them!

there's a happy medium I think! probably skewed more towards the cheerful people but not right at the edge of the scale! Ranting can be cathartic too

It's known as the drains and radiators effect. Or as I prefer to call them, dementors

Yep, worked with three people like that and I avoided contact if I could. I would hate to be like that but I guess they can't help it.

I have been called insufferably cheerful before I also try to avoid people that suck the life out of a room just by walking into it

Due to work I come across a few people that find faults in everyone and everything,

He is shit at his job,

I work harder then him and never get noticed/rewards,

My (millionaire) boss is thick and hasn't a clue how to run a company,

That fat bastard needs to lose some weight, And on and on it bores the shit out of me,

I usually just nod my head but if I have to work with them all day I go home in a foul mood

the answer lies in how the glass acquired its current level. if the glass is filled to the top then drained to the half way point, its half empty. if on the other hand its only filled to the half way point. then its half full.
