We become like the people who surround us.
If we were raised in a can-do, uplifting family, that positivity becomes our DNA.
Around negative people, friends with unending problems, co-workers obsessed with how they hate their jobs and their lives – that, too becomes contagious.
Just as people can make others laugh, they can also make them see the dark side.
Some workarounds:
Those who learn to identify the negativity have a chance to counteract it
Deflect it and move on
Avoid fights, arguments or critical words to “downers”, it just paves the way for more negativity.
You always have a choice to see the upside or the downside.
