You wake up in the morning , the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time . Then the telephone rings , you say hello , and the drama starts . The person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮丧的)tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to . Are you still in a wonderful mood ?Impossible !
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness . It may not change what you think , but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time .
Life brings ups and downs , but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer . They only feel glad when they make others feel bad . No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect .
When you communicate with positive people , your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted . When the dagger of a negative person is put in you , you have the heavy feeling that all in all , brings you down .
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people . This could be a co-worker , or a relative . In this case , say what needs to be said as little as possible , Some times it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person , but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that .
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized . The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to you throughout the rest of your day ,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness . Life is too short to feel negative . Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible .
