How To Deal With Negative People

Masterfully change the subject
Become an expert at changing the subject. When a negative individual, like a neighbor, wants to get in your ear about all of the construction happening in the neighborhood, about how it’s creating trash and traffic, and how the neighborhood is going to sh*t, you can change the subject. You can say, “Oh, yes, I did notice the new construction. It actually reminded me of this architecture I saw in Europe. You were in Europe last year weren’t you? Remind me where you went?” See how you just steered it away from negative to positive?
