    I noticed that people are negative around me because they are jealous about me. They see me exceeding and they want to bring me down to them. Remember, misery enjoys company.

      @@osirisomar5605 I don't mean to sound judgmental but I'm going to come off as judgmental, but you seem to have a "God Complex" going on with the way you speak about yourself. It makes you seem arrogant and self-absorbed and that's probably why you attract so much negativity. Nobody's jealous of your successes, I certainly am happy for any and all success someone achieves, but I find it annoying when people think of themselves way too highly as if their own shit doesn't stink. That's not honesty, friend, that's just pure arrogance and it never sits well with anybody.

    I try my very best to be positive and I am currently working on ignoring my past abuse as a young girl. Its difficult. I really am trying so that when I come in contact with people I know and friends, I try to be genuinely happy and cheerful around them and promote good energy. I listen to them and talk to them. But then I go back home and realize I have no one to talk to. But I also understand that if I complain about it I will just bring more negativity so I disregard it. Before I knew it I was showing signs of depression. I had no motivation to exercise and I had no confidence in my appearance so I only wear jeans and shirts with a jacket. Then people question me "You have such a nice figure why don't you wear dresses or straighten your hair?' And all I can say is, I feel more comfortable this way. But really, I realized I am living in a self-sustained bubble of low self esteem. I will continue to be positive around others, but I eagerly await the day I can be positive towards myself.

      I just wanted to write something and tell you that YOU are the love YOU desire. Love yourself even when you cannot love yourself by simply being quiet. Feeling your breath. Letting go of the past. Watching your thoughts as they come up. And simply accepting yourself as you are.
      Now.
      Noone can love you like you love yourself. Please believe me. But that is ok. Because you do not need their love. You already have the love you wish for inside. You are that Love

    One friend in particular, even after I've listened, tried to understand the underlying issues, and empathized and they still continue to be negative...possibly even increase their negativity because now they have someone who pays attention. It is a delicate balance. I obviously don't know what to do.

    Ha! I’ve tried to challenge them in a positive way by showing an example but it backfired. Because I love them dearly, naturally I tried. It’s exhausting. Like you said “what if it’s in their nature?.” You can’t change people. Most of the negative people I know if not all have some kind of self esteem issue and this is something that can’t be taught or given to you. It comes from within you and only you can curve or change it.

    I thought disengaging might work, but it can come off either rude ,or like he said in the video it can also be passive because you allow more negativity by not speaking up. A more direct approach may be necessary. Ive had this habit of turning their negativity into a joke or something positive, but Ive grown exhausted with this approach. If calling out someone out will actually get the behavior to stop, Im all for it now.

    Most positive people do express emotions, understand others, and recognize what reality is. Ignorant folk don't.
    To me, being negative is okay to an extent, such as expressing yourself or recognizing a downfall of a situation. I'd just rather not carry myself in a miserable fashion literally everyday nor be around such of it.
    I'd love to help someone who's in negative state, except my only downfall is I absorb others emotions really well.

She said, "That's enough Alan. No more taking about religion. Shut up!!" I was outraged and angry. And almost wanted to say, "Robin Bourey, just because you have a miserable and negative life doesn't mean you can shut me out. I have rights to speak my mind. And you can't make my life miserable."

    I love your style and I think you speak a lot of common sense. Obviously the video is short and can only deal with a few topics but I'd like to add in some people are negative to attempt to gain power over other people.
    I have a neighbour like this and there's only one solution with her and that is to let her bully you. Clearly there's no communication or friendship to be had and just sometimes with negative people you need to steer clear.
    Of course, this still has consequences because I have excluded her from just walking into my house whenever she feels like it (and her husband just 'borrowing' and breaking my stuff) now she bitches about me to the other people who don't know how to handle her. Cest la vie!

    My daily life has been harrassed by soo many negative people in college. They are my social circle and I cant really get out of it. There is this one kid who says I am ugly and calls others fat while being short and fat himself. The irony is he struggles through classes with Ds and I feel so sorry for him I help him. He absolutely pisses me off. To make up for his insecurity, he buys a shit ton of designer clothing and wears them. What is messed up is he looks so stupid because hes walking around like hes some thug on a private college campus known for professional, smart, people. Then there is this other kid who calls me stupid and belittles me all the time. He has a bunch of cronies that laugh at me to whatever he says. This kid is has not even been in the country for 3 months and he talks shit about the US, my school, politics, people, and even his roomate. I asked him a question: Why are you here if you hate this place so much? It shut him up and ever since then he has belittled me. This kid has a balding head, a pot belly, and he wears a faded old polo every day. He looks like a dad at 18 years old and he is ridiculous. No one likes him because of his personality and I only associate with him because, unfortunately, he is from my nationality and I have to look after him for his sake. The school set this up as a coupling program for international students... I am an extremely positive person and I found my passions in music, neuriscience(BS) and working out. I also like to dress sharp and be the best I can be every day. I see that these people are projecting their insecurities and are jealous of me. That is the only way they can feel good is to belittle me since I seem to loom over them. They dont see that I had their insecurities once and I overcame them. They dont realise that they can too and I am happy to help them. I was once fat. I once had a terrible haircut. I once was terrible at school. I once hated my environment. I once had a shitty roomate. I can and want to help them but they are focused on tearing me down instead of raising themselves up. I will try these things ive learned here on listening and asking their opinion on bettering the issues they are so negative about and see what happens..... but I have little hope. I might have to restructure my social circle. Any advice?

He always has to be right even when he's negative. He always wants to hold me back by trying to get me to get a "REALITY CHECK." I like to remain positive and always look at the bright side. I challenged his behavior today and it turned into an argument. He had to get his negativity out, but, I couldn't speak, he wouldn't let me. How do I deal with him? Should I move out?

    Miserable in nature. YES. I mean there are a lot of ways to be happy but negative people really chooses not to.. Tho you tried to reach out and feel sorry of what you did unfairly to them, they just don't want to move on. I see it for myself. I just stay quiet and I really want to get out of this environment because it really sucks to be around with them. Negative people have kind of split and playing the victim personality. The best way to deal with them is really AVOID them even making eye to eye contact. That is to make them aware you CUT the ties. For family, this is I guess the worst part. Constant communication is key but if non-related people, don't bother. It's a waste of time talking to a non-existent ghost (i called them as such because i don't see em anymore).

I know at times her concerns are in the right place such as to tidy my space but then I have a resistance to her as on high average she will say something not needed and negative. My view of her as well is she never wanted to develop herself due to fears and giving up which I noticed growing up and so I push myself and have occasional set backs and Inbalances which she tries to highlight with no solutions and only criticism. It's a learning process for me I know what the basic good qualities of a person are but as I was told there are some qualities with greater benefits which automatically permits a base quality set in place naturally.

    I think that groups that specialize in tormenting others in workplaces and in other social environments necessarily ought to be confronted by other groups that specialize in non-violently intimidating them into submission. Shaming the bullies individually and collectively. Preemptively neutralizing the destructive potential before it becomes actualized. No one should have to be at the mercy of someone else's verbal or physical intimidation of them. Theoretically no one has to be. Not only is there strength in numbers: there's also raw brute physical power.

    its really impossible for me to socialize, work, live a normal life cause I am soo afraid of people at this point. I lost my job, my friends, everything its just not normal how mean they were

    Negative people are people too! They have problems, suffering, reasons to be themselves.
    If you manage to understand them, you will help them. When you help negative people, they become positive or at least neutral.
    After all, we are energy. And negative energy can be channeled to a better use. 😃

    In my experience unless the negative, or jealous, person doesn't come to their senses by their early thirties then it's too late. By then they can't change and are basically wired for negative energy. By then they are masters at destroying joy whenever they encounter it.

    Dear Paul,
    Thank you for this useful video.
    Do you have a video or an advice on how to deal with people who alomost regularly find faults with you and whatever you do, most often by falsley friendly remark, advice, or even "friendly" laughter at any little mistake or percieved mistake you make. These are the most negative people as far as I am concerned. What do you call this category of people and how to protect oneself from them?
    Best regards
    Bato

    He forgot the MOST important rule! Negative people CANNOT be reasoned with. My mother is "negative by nature," and all she sees is horrible, disgusting or...disgusting. I try to make her smile or laugh, but her face just hangs like melting clay. She also criticizes me and puts me down on a daily basis and I'm a very peaceful guy. Please god help these people. They suck the life out of us and make us feel horrible. I suffer with depression and everyday I struggle to stay positive but my mom's negative energy is so powerful, that I feel it strike my body like lightning as soon as I see her. I love her so much. I wish to God she would change before it is too late.

    • @swapnamenon

      I feel ur pain. My mom is the same. All my life I've heard her complain about her marriage, her in-laws, her life..... I don't think she ever realised how that effected my relationships with my dad or my grand parents.
      I finally moved out when I finished uni & got a job. I lov her to death. But I keep my distance from her. I call every day, but for 10 mins. I'm careful about what info I give her about my life. Coz she is v quick to catch on to something & then use that to make me miserable later.
      There's a saying that unless u want to help urself, even God can't help u. So don't waste ur energy trying to fix somebody else. Instead focus it on being the best of what u r. It's a slow process. But there's nothing more powerful than the mind.
      Believe me when I say there's a silver lining to every cloud, it just depends on where u look for it.
      Wish u all the luck & best for ur life. Stay strong.

    People with salty attitudes are easily my #1 pet peeve. I sometimes feel like beating the hell out of them to give them a much deserved rude awakening whenever they direct that shit toward me for whatever reason. But it certainly does not help that two of such people happen to be my very own brother and sister.

  • @tommychappell6359
    @tommychappell6359 6 років тому

    They could literally just be in overdrive mode without knowing it, like overcompensating for struggles or past pain/trauma. maybe they are exhibiting behaviours they didnt even realize are a problem. Like old bad habits kinda thing. Or perhaps they are being indirectly defensive towards everyone without actually realizing how they are impacting other people. Like their ego is about protecting themselves and they are projecting that unknowingly.
