11 Traits Of Negative People You Should Stay Away From
Every day in your life, whether you’re a student or an employee, or even an employer, there will be people who you feel terrible being around. These people are not to be confused with those who just joke around with you with no harm, as they don’t really mean it. They might just be trying to create conversations with you. However, there are people out there that you should know you have to get away from before they try to make your life even worse. Here are some of the traits of these negative people that you should completely get rid of from your life.
1. People who constantly compare themselves with you.
If someone in your life is constantly comparing themselves to you, whether it be wealth, social status, studies, or anything, just know that they are not worth your time and you should stay far away from them. Everyone is different, so as long as you are trying your best, you shouldn’t have the need to be better than others.
2. People who gossip about other people.
People gossip, that’s in our nature. That’s how some friendships begin, that’s how people start conversations. But if someone gossips about every little detail about everyone they dislike, then you know where this person should be in your life. If they can talk bad about others to you, then they are most likely talking bad about you to others. Don’t let their negative energy get to you.
3. People who complain about almost everything.
Life is not a smooth path, there will be many ups and downs throughout your life, and if someone around you has to complain to you every time they reach a “down” part, then you know where they stand. Only mature people know the right way of handling life.
4. People who play the victim.
People like that are always trying to get others to sympathize with them. They gain power through sympathy, and with the power, they will be able to tackle the person who “made” them a “victim.” A smart person will not try to gain sympathy from others when dealing with a problem, they will use their wisdom to do it themselves.
5. People who love talking about problems from the past.
People who talk about mistakes, usually things that you did in the past, just to sabotage you now, are the kind of people that you need to get away from immediately. These people are vengeful and will do what it takes to get back at you for what you did to them back then.
6. People who argue about everything.
There are people who always try to make unnecessary arguments with you for whatever reason there is. These people are trying to make you look lower than them, perhaps because they are envious of you, but in actual they are the ones lower than you. You do not need to lower yourself to be at the same level as them.
7, People who act as if they know best for you.
No one knows best for you aside from yourself, well, aside from your true friends and family, so if anyone is asking you to do something or listen to whatever they have to say, just because they said “it’s good for you,” don’t listen to them. Just go with whatever you yourself feel right.
8. People who love attention and want people to hear them out.
Not everyone has the ability to grab attention naturally. Some people do because they are physically attractive, some do because they are humorous. But when someone intentionally do it just because they want people to hear out about them, mostly about their sorrows, then don’t bother even being around them. No one wants to hear about what other people are suffering.
9. People who act like they know everything.
It can be frustrating when some people behave like know-it-alls, acting like they know everything about you, know every answer to every question, and know every method to success. They are probably not that smart, truth be told, and just want people to think that they are.
10. People who focus on the downsides of life.
People who always look at things the bad way will drain your energy quickly. Being around them will make you feel less energetic, less motivated, and might even make you more depressed. Don’t let such unhealthy energy bring you down and know that you should step away from them.
11. People who boast about things just to get admiration.
If someone wants the whole world to know how rich and successful they are, just let them be. Chances are they are not even all that rich and successful, and is just looking for ways for people to look up to them. People who are really successful don’t tell people about their success, they show them.
These are the 11 negative traits that you might find in people around you, and that you should stay away as keeping such people are just not worth it.
