The purpose of this week’s post is to give you the
encouragement to clean up your inner circle so that you can live a more
positive life of achievements, success, peace, and harmony each day. I am not
saying that you will never have a day without negative feelings or
moods, but you shouldn’t surround yourself with people who are constantly
lacking any form of confidence. Not to mention them being totally filled with
gloom and doom. These are the people who you should distrust because they are
toxic to your well-being. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize just how
negative they are or can be to others’ well-being. Their warning signs are
clear and should be understood so that you can avoid their toxic nature pulling
you into a black hole of doubt and negativity in your own life. Here is a list
of negative signs to look out for so you don’t allow people like this to overshadow
you and help you decide who should be removed from your life.
1) They
complain a lot.
Those who are negative people have a habit
of complaining or whining a lot. They believe that the world is
against them and conspiring to destroy everything they do in life. They complain
about their work, coworkers, the weather, their siblings, or even just the
weather. They refuse to work hard, and they have no creativity to help you
succeed.
2) They
are underachievers.
Due to their lack of success, they
cause negativity in those around them and condemn any effort to be successful. They
believe they are the smartest thing since peanut butter at everything,
business, sports, politics, etc. Not one else is as good as they are in many
subjects. Never willing to learn new things and are emotionally critical about
everything. They have no intelligence to speak of, yet they feel they are the
most intelligent in the room and are very confrontational.
3) They
worry all the time.
Those who worry about everything all
the time are worried about their health, and their mindset, and have a need to be
protected all the time. If only they were mindful of reality, they could squash
their worrying thoughts, but alas they won’t give up that necessity to worry
about the slightest little thing.
4) Pessimist
Negative people never seem to see happiness
in anything, especially what is around them. These types of people always seem
to see that everything they plan to do or are about to do is going to come out
wrong or a mess.
5) Thin
Skinned
Negative people have the thinnest skin
and are so skeptical about comments that they trigger negative emotions within
them that cause conflict, even if the comment is a compliment. Innocent remarks
are considered condescending remarks or absolutely rude remarks.
6) Always
adding negative comments to any good news given to them
Think about this, you have good news,
and you want to share it with your friends, you always have that one person in
the group who when you’re sharing your great news, will also want to make
it sound like a negative. They will not only give you negative feedback on the
news but also caution you to be careful and warn you of dangers should you
accept the promotion or offer to which you have been given.
7) Energy
Vampires
Negative people are not only divas in
their own minds, but they are also energy vampires who will suck out every bit
of positive energy you have in your body. No matter what you do as a positive
person, you will never get them to be positive in their actions, minds, or
efforts. They will suck every bit of time, attention, and positive energy from
your body to satisfy their ugliness.
8) Missing
out on the good things in life
Negative people are emotionless
individuals who are devoid of any positive sensation in their bodies. They will
never recognize any joy, contentment, or excitement and have no passion for
anything. Remember they are fixated on the negative in everything, their jobs,
their relationships, and most importantly their social status in life.
9) They
love the word But
A negative person will compliment you and then say “but” making their positive remark into a negative. For example, you invite them to dinner, and they complement your tablescape and then follow it with “But, you didn’t light the candles before I arrived?” making their compliment into an absolutely negative remark. They can’t help themselves to be negative. They might also comment on a restaurant choice as “but I would have chosen a different setting arrangement over this one. Never happy to be just included, they must always turn every compliment into a negative choice of remark.
10)They hate future projects and never get excited about them
Have you ever had a conversation with someone who could never attempt to talk about the future? That is a negative person, never interested in planning a project or trip positively. Why don’t they want to talk about the future, probably because they’re so wrapped up in their own misery today that they can’t see past tomorrow. A positive person knows how to dream, and how to plan and envision the future because you are a positive person with the energy to make things happen. So whatever you do, don’t let the negative people into your life and suck all the positive energy out of you so that you fail in this life.
