I have to deal with negative people at some point in my lives. Encounters with such people are stressful and emotionally draining and most of the times, lives me feeling very unhappy...
It can be really tough. Tough because I may not find it easy to remain loving and compassionate towards them, without being dragged into their negativity. Sadly, there comes a time when I have to detach from them. This is especially true when I feel emotionally drained and all my efforts to change them have backfired. It may seem selfish at first but I'm responsible for my own happiness...
