I try not to. But it depends on what it is. As some people just keep it up all day. And by the end of the day my gosh just can't take it anymore. I vent and then vent somemore if they keep it up. LOL as they just make me unhappy. Your friend onlydia

No I don't let others negativity bother me. Make me mad I vent and move on. If they want to stay in the negative mood but they'll have to do it without me. Vent and go.

same with me... i dont let it happen now a days especially i need a positive look into my day by day routine... because if we have to let it affect us, nothing will happen for good. and surely it will simply ruin our whole day transaction and mood... so why not be positive and look forward what is needed to do and find a solutions for every problem that we encounter...

I try not to let other's negativity affect me. Moods are contagious, though. So I just try to work on myself.

Well basically especially when I wake up in the morning I wanna make my day good and pleasant. I just avoid negative vibrations it doesn't make me a better person. Well I could listen for a while but I just keep myself on the go and face my day. I also have my own problems to face and to solve add more I rather not. Have a nice day!

I have been around negativity all of my life and you'd think I'd be used to it by now but I'm not and hate it with such a passion that I could explode!! My dad, oldest brother and husband are all negative and constantly think on the negative side of things. With my dad and brother, I just walk away at the first chance but my husband, I'll try my best to get him to think of the positive side of things and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The only way it gets me down is if it's back to back like one thing after another but I try hard for it to not bother me.

I try not to. I mean, negative vibes tend to darken the mood of everyone, and this is the last thing that I would want to have. I would just think of happy thoughts and go on with what I am doing.

Hi there mattcassethan I don't let other's problems effect me. I will do my best to help them in any way that I can but I certainly don't carry it around with me, at the end of the day it is their problem and not mine!

I can't be near with people with negativity because I know I am easily influenced with things like that. I would be easily affected with things near me, so if I know that someone has a negativity, I try to keep myself far away. Negativity is something contagious. Even the most positive person with a good attitude would somehow get affected with negative people. It is easier to make people become negative than to make them positive. So if your environment is negative, and you still in the same environment in the long term, sooner or later you would get affected by that

I am the kind of person that the negative energy would be inherited it as quick as they can with me because I knew on how to handle this people but if the person is inside of the house and even though I do not let my wife inherit me with the energy is that I am still affected for i do not like her to be upset and sad on anything....

No I don't. I let it pour right off my back. I don't care what attitude someone else has - that is the best way to deal with it. Don't let it affect you. That's their problem, it shouldn't be yours.
