Negative People

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Is it me or is the amount of negative / depressing people at forums on the rise?



You know the ones who totally suck the life out of any conversation with their constant negative and/or depressing contributions to conversations...



How do you deal with them? Are you one of them?

 

[Phazite]

I am not one of them as far as I know.



Well, you could either respond positively or ignore the person.

yeah ignoring them is what I usually do. By doing that Im saying You arent going to drag me down with you

I think you've been spending too much time on ZNB. lol



I try to ignore it when I can but sometimes I get sucked up into it mostly on ZNB where negativity rules the place. In fact that does sound quite sad when you think about it.

Makes me glad I never joined ZNB. It really sounds boring unlike here and the land where the chicken rules (Rapture).

Have a few but me and my members just deal and don't really let them end conversations.

I'm a very possitive person. When I run into a negative/depressing person on a forum I just keep posting possitive thoughts and it annoys the hell out of them. I'm not about to let them drag me down nor am I going to stoop to their level. They do it for attention and when they don't get any they either leave or turn themselves around.

Luckily, I don't have to deal with that at the place I run. No. Instead I get a bit of disrespect by two guys. Well used too. At one forum I used to be a part of. Negativity ran that place. Respect was barely even alive there as well. I also try not to be a negative person either.

More people are getting internet access so yes

I'm sure I've been a negative person before, but I try not to be one. If someone is really rude and acts like everyone is out to get them, I'll just ignore them, as long as they're not breaking any rules, besides sucking the life out of you. Giving them attention is exactly what they want, so don't give it to them.

We all have our moments. I can be more negative in private than I am on public forums.

Yeah, I'd say that negativity is increasing. In life, I'm a pretty negative person. I'm always looking at the negatives...just have to find a way to change that. I don't think I'm a discussion killer. I used to post whatever, wherever....yeah, I got some issues from that....but now I just try to join in wherever. It's nice once you're accepted by a community because then discussions won't be as easily killed if you post. IDK, just the feeling I've gotten.

 

[Corleone]

I can't stand this thread. It's so pointless. Who really cares if people are negative? Why should you care? Am I being negative right now?

On another note, I could care less if someone is negative, I only care if they true to bring others down to their level with them.

 

[Wingedkuri]

Give them a hug or rub them with tomatoes.

 

[Evil Eye]

How's the second going to cheer them up?

 

[Wingedkuri]

I'm not sure, but it should give them good luck.

 

[Evil Eye]

And make 'em pissed most likely

 

[Crys]

Ignore/block.

Go on my merry way.
