How do you a handle a negative person?

Do you call them out on it?

Just act cheerful and maybe they will get the hint?

Stoop to their level and complain right along with them?

  • Ignore them and talk behind their back. Lol

    I guess it depends who it is. My coworker is always negative and I always tell her she's being negative, but telling her doesn't make her any less negative at all.  I told my other co worker that she's very cynical and she laughed it off. I'd just ignore them if you're not relatively close.

     I'm with Rosie on this.

    Most of the time it's this but mainly because of who that person is and I don't feel like arguing with them or starting family drama.  I've gotten a little snappy back a few times and said something but even then she didn't get the hint.

  • Depends on the person and the mood I am in!

    Often this. I also often try to avoid them. I avoid confrontation.

  • Same as Rosie. Negative people are hard to handle.

    Sometimes I try to find out more about  them, because the negativity stems from stress they don't think you could understand or they are unaware they are projecting onto you.

  • I just smile and ignore them. Unless its family, then I go home and complain about them. Lol.

  • It's really tough to say and it depends on who it is/what my relationship to them is.

    If it was a good friend who suddenly became really negative, I'd likely call them out on it.

    Someone who I'm kind of stuck with (like family I couldn't just write off) that is just a negative person and always has been-I'd just nod, smile, and be glad I'm not as miserable as they are.
