Being around people who tend to be more negative can be challenging. Let's face it - it can be downright annoying. But there is something we can do about it that doesn't involve cutting them off completely. I'm going to teach you empowering ways to deal with negative people - or at least those people who tend to be more negative than we'd prefer.

Hi friends - what was your biggest takeaway from this video?

[lisaduff]

negative people don't upset orr drain me; i upset or drain me by focusing on them/believing they should be different &/or trying to change them

[AleciaLott]

"Why am I working harder to help this person solve their problem than they are?" YESSSS I wish I could like this 10, 000 times!

I’m just tired of listening to them complain. It affects me because I catch myself being negative when I was a really positive person before.

Never engage in aggressive arguments, you won't accomplish anything.
It only results in bruised egos.

My life is more peaceful when I'm not around contemptuous people. From life experience, negative people are lazy, don't take responsibility for their actions, abusive, untruthful, and unfaithful.

My mother was very negative. She drained me to no end. I was 34 when I moved away from her in 1991.

My biggest takeaway was the reminder that you don’t HAVE to say anything in response to someone who is trying to bait you into an argument. I imagine if I’d done that many other times in my life, it would have prevented a lot of heartache especially dealing with difficult people, or even strangers online.

I have written this one down as a must remember “why, if they always do it, are you surprised when they DO do

[russellheyns]

Very refreshing to hear someone say something other than “cut them out of your life”. Hard to say someone else plays the victim or is afraid to face things when your only solution is avoid and disconnect. Bravo

The main thing that I am taking with me from this video is that I am not responsible for solving other people’s worries and fears and disappointments and ultimately their vibration even if they are taking it out on me in that moment. And even if it directly involves me, I can remain neutral and non reactive! Non affected. What a blessing it is to know and embrace that fact.

[MeanEileen]

I’m in agreement that we allow ourselves to be drained, however protecting personal peace is imperative and walking away is just the better choice.

[cindymadrigal]

I have the right to be quiet. Simply as that. This is a gem.

[twocentswithdeb]

Toxic people are everywhere! We have to take care of ourselves and be safe :)

[JenniferMarieUSA]

I sing songs in my head around negative people. I avoid or reject these people as much as possible. When I am in a situation that I have to sit in. I again sing songs in my head and smile. They will not knock me out of my bubble of Joy 🥰

[sherriam]

One thing that stood out: sometimes all I have to do is say “Ok.” And keep it moving! Thanks Julia, this entire video was extremely helpful!

[barrymichlowitz]

I watched this video to pick up hints when I am being negative. I often say negative things without realizing it.

[crystalbeattie]

I lived the way she recommends for 8 years with someone and it was miserable. Finally left and now I'm happy.

[ghostfella]

@1:50 Thank you for saying that. Cutting negative people out of your life is not always a solution to our own negative emotions. Positivity and standing up for yourself and others in the face of negativity is the only way to counter it. Its not easy but it is more powerful than giving in to narcissistic dynamics.

My father always says he's in a crisis, to use me for his personal business. I was emotionally invested in him too much to the point where I couldn't focus on my own career and life. Now I deflect these fake family drama and focus on me, and sometimes how to use them to my benefit.
