How do you run away from negative people when they seem all around you?

Answer 1

I don't believe running away from anything works. All you can do is set your own attitude, stay firm to it, and project what you want to experience. More often than not that Law of Attraction that is so popular again lately will happen, (but is a basic truth that usually works) and bet you will find that if you stay firm in being positive and friendly and treating folks that way regardless of how they treat you, you will begin getting that back.

And if a negative one slips through, the good thing about deciding how YOU want to be is you can walk away with your positive mood. Think of it like a positive raincoat....their bs will roll off. Try it...it will work! And thanks for reminding me...sometimes life gets hard and we forget and get caught up in it. Change your thoughts and that will change everything....no running needed!

Answer 2

some people are afraid of confrontation, some are afraid of debating, some are merely telling events, some are socializing and think that negative joking is fine, but whatever the reason they do things, it's you who is supposed to learn how to deal with it. An adult never "runs away" from anything. You should be learning how to deal with it by either changing the negative to a positive, starting a conversation better suited to you if you feel you are positive, excusing yourself and walking away to get some food or drink, or just learning to compete, debate, converse and be part of the group. When you say "all around you" it seems like you feel overwhelmed, and if so then the problem is within you and you need to learn more coping skills, and learn that they aren't all negative, or maybe aren't even negative at all. Everyone has an opinion, and everyone isn't negative all the time. You can get coping skills by reading self-help books or going to a psychologist and describing just why you see so many people as being negative. Good luck to you.

Negative people threaten me because I sometimes feel I am very suseptable to their woefilled attitudes. I am an Upbeat person! I am!... I really am an Upbeat person. AW why do I let negative people even get a tiny toenail into the Bliss that is ME? The answers from the people here have been inspiring to me.
First to run away from them in your mind is accomplished if you are predetermined such as tell yourself a good deed you have done , a joke that always makes you laugh , imagine them with great balloon filled antlers on their heads and every time you feel them dragging you into a self pitying state imagine the balloons popping and the confetti inside exploding all over their silly faces.
second count your blessings i know its the usual thing but it does work...GEt serious about it and list them so you can see them written on their foreheads and they flash like neon I am alive I am healthy I am not on the street I have someone who cares for me. I had tapioca for dessert today and the baby is going to sleep through the night tonight because he did last night. short of being dead You do have blessings to count.
Have a mantra or phrase that you can say or sing that will cheer you up
floogledee floog or messa messy mean old snouts. anything that works for you. just be careful not to explode in lAUGHTER in their faces Or they will march you down to the place where the shirts have long long sleeves and fasten in the back. But you can fool them by marching along with them and singing "Im going crazy crazy would you like to go along ?"
Or keep a Piglet in your pocket and pet him whenever you need a pal a buddy or someone who understands. Christopher Robin did!

Answer 4

I am answering this question because I am basically in the same situation as you. Sometimes some people become more positive and more enlightened about their lives because of things that they go through or the journeys that they take.

And then there are others who either just havent gone through that- making their views negative and shallow, or they are just really super negative... like after they go through all the dramas in their lives, they come out of that, thinking "Life is crap"..

But the best thing you and I can do is that we must be positive ourselves.. and if we are strong enough on our own, others' negativity shouldnt affect us at all. At the same time, hopefully, your positivity will be contagious! yeay!

Answer 5

I actually do have a problem with my friends that are negative and I tell them about it on a regular basis. They just tell me that is the way they are. I am a positive person and sometimes it is difficult to deal with negative people because they always say but if...., heck with what if, just do it!! I hope this answers your question!♥
