My advice to anyone out there that is in a relationship with a negative person is too limit the time you spend with those people. Negative people are usually around and they are easy to spot. They are grumpy, complain about their day every day and love to spread negative gossip. I have had many years experience with this type of personality and they can be a burden on your life if not handled the proper way.

When you encounter a negative person or group of negative people it is best to try to avoid those relationships all together. Although we see, sometimes those people can still fly under your radar and you get caught up in their negative lives. They can be anywhere as well, at your job, a neighbor or a friend that you may have had for a long time that turned into a negative person. I have had a recent experience with someone that will remain nameless that complained about everything. She complained about her job, her boyfriend and anything that kept her negative. She was brought up with an equally negative mother so I think that might have contributed to her behavior. She always felt the world was out for her and she was bitter toward anyone that had a little happiness.

Another example I had was when I was a little younger I would hang out with a group of negative people and this can be even more detrimental if you decide to do nothing about it. You become what you hang with in my mind and that was what happened to me until my future wife pointed it out to me. I was living in a group that was negative towards females and anyone that did not see the same way they did. This completely became aware to me when I started to try to phase them out a little. Of course, I was trying to be nice about it trying to create a peaceful outcome but because I broke one the groups bond, that was being held against me. I had been with this group of friends for about a good three to four years while in high-school and in college and they were upset that a woman had interrupted their relationship with me. However, I was a good friend always dealing with their woman problems and I really did not have a lot of serious relationships until I met my future wife. Once I decided to change they almost felt threatened and was almost vengeful towards my wife. I finally made a difficult decision that I would break away from the group and I have been with my wife ever since then and I have not talked to any of them because they wanted to ruin my life when I had some positive things going
