I disagree about people only dealing with their negative energy on their own. I am a generally negative person because I've had things happen to me in life, but I don't hate other people and I have no interest in upsetting other people. I just keep going and it is hard to deal with it, but if I had someone giving an uplifting message to me regularly I'm sure I would be a positive person because I enjoy being happy. I haven't been truly happy in a while, and since I've dealt with it so long I'm strong enough to deal with it. It would be better to have positive people to help encourage me, though.
