the drama starts The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to You are still in a wonderful mood Impossible Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness It may not change what you think but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time Life brings ups and downs but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer They only feel glad when they make others feel bad No wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect When you communicate with positive people your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted When the dagger 匕首 of a negative person is put in you you feel the heavy feeling that all in all brings you down Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people This could be a co worker or a relative In this case say what needs to be said as little as possible Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won t feel ashamed of themselves about that Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to 附着 you throughout the rest of your day which
