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 seemed to dealt with and still is my whole life. Ppl just being jealous of my so Honest and pure godly natural good hurted loved for life in a whole ways. What's crazy mitch, is I'm not even close to rich. But, my heart and soul. My truths and loyal honesty I still stand for and have so fearlessly for life and this "PRESENT"/🎁 Moment is "priceless". And, that's so why, through all the negative ppl, plc's and things I know and prepared to still come. I can just imagen how king and godly of a person I'll feel like mitch. I do☝

@@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.

[@velfcookie4734]

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.

[@charliechase7390]

+Shalea Shaw Hi beautiful. 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 Peace

I am sorry to hear about your abuse and how hard that it is. You have to understand u are bigger then that selfish person and that experience doesnt lessen who are you.

[@Holistik777]

Excellent presentation! This is the first time I see that a speaker seeks the reasons for people's negativity...usually, authors tell you to run away from them, keep silent or confront them. I find this new tactic very human!

[@alanbourbeau24]

Back in high school, i knew a teacher aid who was negative with me. Whenever i brought the subject of religion or history. And she would angrily tell me to stop. And i was emotionally hurt. So i turned to positive people like my mom, a catholic priest and members of a catholic church. So with them around me, i felt more confident and filled with joy.

[@shaunakelly-ward2676]

Isn't there a time when it is best to set a boundary and say, "Enough, I've listened to you and heard as much as I can handle"! By this time I tell them I don't want them to tell me any more negative thoughts. 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.

[@hayaq9991]

my father is so negative and ironically he is a motivational speaker..i just got off he phone with him and he spent 30 mins on why I should leave my business...after i told him how I am growing

[@NebulaIncandescence]

I see a some people here dislike or hate positive people. I just wanna say not to confuse positivity with blantant ignorance. 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.

[@jmobrawler]

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.

[@Joeladgra]

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.

My roommate constantly looks at and shares everything negative. He is a retired 65 year old gay man. Not only is he negative, but, he's a narcissist. 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? His negativity is now bleeding into my conversations with people and holding me back from getting a job.

[@minervaloves]

People can be negative in life from serious situations. Other than calling them names and bitching about them yourself, maybe helping them is the right solution.

[@leahcrossley9810]

You're right, Victor. Let me rephrase what I meant. There are people out there who are negative and want help, whereas there are the minority, I would like to believe, who do not. And I was slightly disappointed this video didn't include the ones who wish to change, but the ones who crave the attention of the negativity or are just plain miserable.

+Leah Crossley my roommate is that way. Always has to bring negativity. Everything about his life is negative, and whenever positivity is introduced he scurries away. I don't get it. Do they not one the side effects? He does. I preach about how it's killing him, and he doesn't budge. I try and try and in that time he has brought me. So it's time to move on. I'm only 21, so I'm moving in with my mother and stepdad to get a help with a new positive, prosperous life. Lol

In high school, there was this teacher aid who was negative and mean spirited. One time I was discussing religion. Catholicism. And the negative teacher aid was angry. 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.

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?

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.

[@somethingyousaid5059]

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.

[@karenbustamante9369]

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).

Should be a link for this book, great points. This situation I experience is with my mom and times she can be good help and wants the best but it's usually from fearful angle. How can I tell her to keep that away negative twist from me. 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.

Some people are negative, because they are deeply traumatized.Because they suffer from learned helplessness. Because they have depression, bipolar, PTSD, GAD. Before you judge anyone, express your care, offer your support and understanding. Don't jump into conclusions which base on your perceptions. If you don't do that - you are not positive, you're very judgemental and injust.

What if it's your 43 year old roommate who listens to gangster rap, watches gangster movies, and does drugs and think it's cool? I'm peaceful, I meditate consistently, I'm all about peace. I stand up for myself in this situation and it always effects me worse, because he is irrational. Sociopathical behavior is displayed by this individual. I don't care what he thinks about me, but I believe that the things he does will bring me harm so I have to pay attention to it. It's literally to the point where I hear him telling a story about how he punched a dude in the face for a dumb reason, and how he wants to make more money doing illegal activities, and I can't block it out, because he has to be heard. He loves when people think negatively about him, and literally sucks in ALL negativity, and naturally spreads it all around. What do you do in that situation?

I don't give him the will to do it, and I don't care, but his lifestyle is.. Very negative and very destructive. That's what kills me. I'm more scared for my safety than destroyed by his negativity.

+Alex Terrel When he's deep on drugs, call the cops on him. He probably has more than the legal amount of drugs.

+Alex Terrel My Friend, in this situation there is only one thing to do; Get The Fuck Out Of There NOW!!! Good luck

[@smartcatcollarproject5699]

+Ralph Romero Same here, find a better place ASAP ! It happened to me a few times, I tried to be patient, to do like in the video (well that was years ago, before the video was published) I tried to listen to them, to support them, so that they become better... and it worked ! only problem was that once they suceeded, they just killed me in my back ! Don't even hang out with people when you feel something suspect that you can't define, even if they play nice, invite you and insist how cool is it !

[@sunnyt4493]

+Smart Cat Collar Project I totally agree . Sociopaths etc WILL NEVER CHANGE . Cut all contact , or as much as possible, at least don't engage with them if u physically can't get away . They will never ' see the light ' , and like u said, they will utilise anything inorder to stab u in the back

[@Ridwan_Ali2]

[@Ponk_80]

[@csagan-bh2qy]

Can I find that book for free??

[@thisisbob1001]

Do not waste your time trying to help them. You must completely ignore them. They are losers!

[@ruthiekumar8770]

omg...when i try to support the ones who have it rough, the ones that can do something about it will avoid me because they are fine with it, it makes me so frustrated.

[@EarlGuyton425]

Since when is it necessary to fix negative people? Why would anyone expend the effort to waste learning about negative people? If we do this it would hold us back from interacting with positive people and positive things/pursuits. One fact about positive and negative with people is this. The longer you deal with negative people the more it will drag you down to their level and separate you from what can be positive in life. Why would a person keep fixing an old car engine when they can either change the engine or the car? Why would a man or a woman involve time trying to understand a negative person in a relationship when they can go for someone that is positive about things? I do not understand the mans concept in the video of why he is to understand negative people and supposedly offer them his time unless he was a mental doctor making money trying to help drama trauma persons. If you play in the negative pool you will have negative results. Its as simple as that

just be grateful youre perfect and just stfu.

Most of them are self-centered narcissists that in most cases have to admit they have a problem and seek professional help. I recently lost my job because she's also a manipulator who manipulated my old boss.

[@keepdafaithinyou2429]

I need this as I have to deal with negative people everyday and it’s causing me to nearly commit suicide because of the way I am I can’t be my self I can’t live my life I can’t do or be myself without negative people around me this is why I prefer to be an introvert for the rest of my days on this evil planet 🌍 thanks for the video

[@tomaszdabrowski7779]

funny thing is that a high % on here that commented about other people being negative are being negative =p haha classic

[@Misana]

Tomasz Dabrowski I noticed that too. As though they'd never find themselves in a rut.

[@UnusualPete]

Humans are curious... 😂

[@NIOAdmirer]

+MsPardaillan tell a lie.. it nearly bothered me yesterday, luckily i dealt with it but it was hard, you just have to keep strong, maybe listen to some uplifting/meditation music to help go through the day. i've been reading a lot of law of attraction books lately, if you follow it carefully, it really does help, your minds become more clearer. the more positivity you put into your mind, the better the outcome, it may take a while but its worth it, trust me!

[@crpwifey2562]

this is why I am here listening.. but Sometime people will get you to the point of frustration...or we allow them to get us there. BE BLESSED

[@lorddaveed]

whats reason number 4? because i have friends who just wont give up at all on this negativity... and yeah i do use humor and all that good stuff but it just persists and its just not cool at all.

[@beans9019]

[@kunalchaudhari7870]

How to deal with negative people who intentionally forcefully interfere in our life.. & spreads negative rumours about us which affects our life, businesses n all..????

[@simonj1971]

My ex is a miserable conniving person constantly bitching and moaning when she's not being paranoid and jealous that people like me cos i try to be pleasant and friendly! Especially the friends i made cos she introduced me to them??!! So i told her so! She's still NOT happy! But i felt better.

[@shimonzet3409]
