If someone is exposed to negativity or constant criticism early on in their lives, they may mirror that behavior. Children raised in an environment where criticism, pessimism, doom and gloom, and negativity are common will end up having that mapped into their developing brains as typical behavior.

Here's what you can do to deal with the negative people in your life without losing your mind:

Hold back from casting judgment. ...
Set firm boundaries. ...
Respond, not react. ...
Don't take things personally. ...
Try to disarm their negativity. ...
Accept this person for who they are. ...
Find bright spots of positivity in your life.

Prompts to consider 
1. What's an example or examples of a time you prevented yourself from flying over the cuckoo's nest?
2. Are there things you're going to work on or working on to increase your health, wealth and happiness? What?
3. All ice cream is snared by aliens and you can eat one flavour forevermore...which one do you decide on?

There's not much I can do about my health except keep going as much as possible ❤ wealth, I have three current scams in place😎 happiness, now that's what I believe to be the meaning of life ❤ something I'm constantly working on. I find a lot of happiness in my day to day life, through art, my three little piggies (guinea pigs), talking to people here at the care home, 7 cups and lots of things😁❤

And I choose white flavour icecream please😋

My childhood was very toxic and negative. I have to work very hard to be positive and think of nice things to say. It seems like everyone else has a much easier time coming up with nice things to say…this is another reason why small talk is hard for me. 😊
