Negativity is contagious - whether in the form of anger, hate, jealously it can have a really bad effect upon you. The best thing to do when someone is directing negative energy at you is just to get away, don't get angry, don't fight back, just leave - because if you fight back this negativity will just spread like a wildfire - from one person to the other. Don't add fuel to that negativity. This is a really interesting topic - hear me talk a bit more about it and my own experience with negative people in the Podcast. Topics: negative energy, negative people, positivity, optimism, happiness, joy
