I Am Annoyed By Negative People
An old school friend contacted me to arrange meeting up. She keeps on pushing back dates saying she is busy, which is fine as i am busy too.
The thing is...I am not interested in talking about her past over and over again and get the impression with her that maybe she needs to seek professional help. I always felt it important to allow people to feel listened to but it gets to a point that she is repeating herself over and over again. I can't stand it and I try to direct her to a more positive conversation and then she will do the opposite to be overly positive it's fake.
She thinks she is ok but everytime it ends up discussing her ex, why she must have this and that and everything is just bad....how do i tell her i am not interested in hearing her moan? diplomacy hasn't worked. Ignoring her doesn't work she keeps contacting me...i'm thinking to just let this go and not respond.
Why do negative people have to spread their negativity?
