This is a helpful article about how to deal with negative people.
Here’s an excerpt:
If the know-it-all in your life is someone you can’t get away from, like your boss, give up trying to get a word in edgewise — this is a battle you can’t win. Let her blather on and try to keep wildly divergent opinions to yourself, if only to be spared the inevitable razzing you’ll get for dissenting. This doesn’t mean you should roll over and play dead, but there’s no point challenging someone whose sole satisfaction comes from arguing and complaining. After all, isn’t it better to be happy than to be “right?” Let us answer this one for you: Yes!
Did you know there was a database of world happiness? Neither did I. But evidently there is and they’ve ranked 95 nations on a happiness scale.
Turns out there isn’t a correlation between how happy a nation is and the conditions of the nation. It has more to do with how people view the circumstances they’re in, rather than the circumstances themselves. The articles says, “So far, the data reveal national happiness doesn’t predictably track average income, type of government — democracy versus dictatorship —or even warm climate.”
