How To Deal With Negative People
- By

Respond with only affirming words
Negative individuals typically live with this overwhelming sense that nobody believes them, or that people think they exaggerate. They fear they aren’t taken seriously. Make sure your facial expressions, tone, and words are affirming. Nod. Make sympathetic gestures. Make them feel heard – much of their negativity can come from a feeling that nobody listens to them.
