I stumbled on the post below by MakeItUltra here and I'm reblogging it because we all deal with some negative people, and we usually find it more difficult to distance ourselves from them than we do to keep accepting their negativity.

So how do we best deal with an overly negative person when it isn't a temporary problem and they aren't about to change? We need to change how we handle them...
