What business do negative people have in your life? Why are they there in the first place? Because you let them hang around. Could it be you hang around them?

What happens when you are surrounded by even just one negative Nellie? Your whole day, attitude, perspective, and direction changes - for the worse.

Before you know it there's a pattern that goes like this; "I know she's negative but she has some good qualities, too." Then; "I can fix her negativity." Next; "She really isn't THAT negative." Lastly; "What? She's negative? I didn't notice."

Karen, I never liked having to be around the types you've described, but in a work scenario where the boss is the Wicked Witch of the West, and one or more co-workers are incessantly complaining, the choice is put up with it, or leave - not much of a choice in a tough job market (which it always is, not just now). Still, I didn't hate any of them, I just didn't like being in their company. Is that what you meant, rather than truly hating them?
