- Demean Your Value - A simple nudge of bad words or cruel names will be dished out by those who want to put someone else down. If you're someone who sees you have value in yourself, do yourself a favor and keep it to yourself. Don't let anyone, not the government, not your neighbors, not the people around you control the value you might possibly have. Only you hold the key to your own value
- Destroy Your Image - A common method is by spreading false rumors about you. A negative person will attempt to spread misinformation about you, your words, your way of life, the way you talk, the way you act, and even about your friends because they want to put down your image. They don't want you to have a great image, and the truth is that you don't have to be perfect but you have to be near perfect.
- Drive You Crazy - This is very true, they'll drive you crazy because they think differently than you do. You might want to do better for yourself or you might see it differently than they do, and sadly they might actually have an agenda behind it. They might not want to see you win because it benefits them for you to be stuck in neutral.
- Dispose Your Dreams - Scientists and the modern world is still fascinated by why we still have dreams. And what is a dream really? When you are dreaming, your conscious mind is turned off but your subconscious mind is turned on.
- Discredit Your Imagination - I have faced this obstacle many times, not through people around me but by myself. I have faced people trying to discredit my imagination by bringing up the past and saying that I was smarter when I was a kid. Since they don't actually have any imagination themselves, they bring up that you lack imagination! How ironic.
- Deframe Your Abilities - Negative people are always on the constant mood train. This mood train has many people sitting in it, always complaining about the weather, about the length of the ride, about the overpriced drinks and food, and about the friends.
- Disbelieve Your Opinions - Some may not like your favorite brand, whereas you do and that's completely normal. Not everyone will share the same opinion as you, but where they don't share the same opinion, a negative person will discredit and flag your opinions. So for example, if you think that a brand of motor oil is the best, you will opt to go for that brand instead. And friends are supposed to disagree on it, but a totally negative person will try to drown you out on that motor oil.
They may bring up falsified info about that motor oil or flag you for it.
