A few years ago I started making a really conscientious effort to eliminate negative people from my life.

Just started cutting contact altogether.

And sure, I found a bunch of good positive people to replace them with too. But it doesn’t rule out negativity coming your way over the internet, or when you need to deal with customer service reps over some item or service you’ve bought.

So, my thinking has undergone a bit of shift since then — To focusing more on how I RESPOND to negativity, rather than trying to rule it out completely.

I’d recommend “re-interpreting” negative comments as being someone’s best effort to feel good about themselves — they just lack the communication skills to feel better more easily. Make a game of it and have fun with it.

It puts a powerful and positive spin on the less desirable attitudes of others.

Wow, this site is awesome.. I just got here by accident and incidentally, I’ve read some of the Hicks’ books. In the last year, I had to drop my best friend b/c she was just that – a major toxic energy in my life, who always put herself first and when I wanted to go to grad. school and she didn’t want to support my goals.. it hit me like a ton of bricks.. “Why do I have this person in my life?” It’s been very difficult b/c she was my best friend for 10 yrs.. but I guess I was just blind.

I always felt like I looked at the world with a cup half-full.. and there are so many ppl around me who look at it half-empty, or “what’s best for me.” Sorry Don, but being cynical is just the same as being negative.

Since breaking up with her, I also have broken other negative ties and I realize I don’t have (as much) drama in my life now (other than family ). Makes things much more positive. Some have given me grief on breaking up with her – but after reading your posts above, I’m certain I made the right choice.

Thank you!

Hi Evelyn – you’re welcome. The book is brilliant. I’m working my way through all the exercises and today it helped me do a job I’ve been putting off for ages.

I like the idea of sending a message to attract the right readers before you hit the publish button. I’ll give that a try.

Hi Sara – That’s interesting that different folk are toxic for different people. So we needn’t feel so bad about avoiding them, as there will be others who don’t find them toxic.

I have a friend who once told me that some people are toxic. They may not be toxic for someone else, but they can be for you. Once a toxic person is in your life, you really do need to either remove them or stay clear of the person. I liked what Evelyn Lim said in her comment about inviting positive people into your life. I write affirmations and leave them places where I'll see them every day to remind me to find the positive! Great post! Sara Healy's last blog post..Severe Weather Warning: The Stress of Impact

I’m glad to find out that you bought the book. Thanks for the link to my site!

I’d also focus on attracting more positive people to my site. I sometimes send out the intention of attracting the right readers to my post before I hit the publish button. I’d hold the little wish in my open palms, and then imagine letting it go and it taking flight into the sky – the Universe.

You made me laugh when you said “At the same time – we should ignore the idiots. Just put them in the spam folder, where they belong”…yeah…that’s right!!
