Protect Yourself From Negativity

in philosophy •  7 years ago 

Antagonistic individuals who flounder in their issues and neglect to concentrate on arrangements are difficult to manage. They need individuals to join their day in and day out pity party so they can feel better about themselves. What's more, you may feel forced to tune in to their grievances basically on the grounds that you would prefer not to be viewed as hard or inconsiderate, however there's a scarce difference between listening carefully and getting sucked into their negative enthusiastic show.

You can keep away from this dramatization by setting limits and separating yourself when vital. Consider it along these lines: if a pessimistic individual were chain-smoking cigarettes, would you sit adjacent to them throughout the day breathing in their second-hand smoke? No, you wouldn't – you'd separate yourself. So simply ahead and give yourself some breathing room when you should.

In the event that separating yourself is unthinkable in the close term, another incredible approach as far as possible is to ask a pessimistic individual how they expect to settle the issue they're whining about. Regularly they will either calm down or divert the discussion a more concordant way, at any rate briefly.

Where and how you center your consideration decides your passionate state. When you focus in on the issues you're confronting, you make and draw out negative feelings and stress. When you move your concentration toward activities that can enhance your conditions, you make a feeling of self-viability that yields positive feelings and diminishes stretch.

The same correct rule applies when managing adverse individuals – focusing on how upsetting and troublesome they are just escalates your affliction by giving them control over you. Quit pondering how alarming this individual is, and concentrate rather on how you will approach dealing with their conduct emphatically. This makes you more powerful by placing you in the driver's seat, and it will significantly diminish the measure of stress you encounter when you're associating with them.

Generally however, you can't change individuals and you shouldn't attempt. It is possible that you acknowledge their identity or you live without them. It may sound somewhat cruel, however it's most certainly not. When you attempt to change individuals, they regularly oppose and continue as before… however when you don't endeavor to transform them – when you bolster them and permit them the self-sufficiency to be as they are – they bit by bit change in the most supernatural way. Since what truly changes is the way you see them.

You don't need to disregard yourself since others do. Truly, in case you're compelled to live or work with a contrary individual, at that point ensure you get enough alone time to rest and recover. Playing the part of an 'engaged, sane grown-up' despite diligent cynicism can debilitate, and in case you're not cautious, the pessimism can expend you.

Great post g

Negativity is a termite feeding the good soul
My example can go far but I feel we must never let negativity get us because bad souls also love negativity, they feed on negativity
:)

Negative minds only destroy us

Thank you for sharing @journeyoflife.

I really liked your suggested technique of inquiring with such individuals as how they aim to solve the issues that they complain about. It is effective and might even yield positive results from them.

While I am less amenable to the idea that one should not consider changing them - I understand the self-preserving purpose such a stance serves. I also understand that seeking to change another's outlook can seem a little... nosy... and there should certainly be boundaries defined.

An individual could be seen as the sum of his or her circumstances. Some individuals are more entrenched in their ways than others because humans make for an incredibly diverse set of individuals.
