Zapped
Some people are so negative that speaking with them sucks all the energy right out of you!!! That is how I feel right now. My life is not at all where I want it to be but I try to stay positive and to enjoy my life the way it is, whether it is what I expected or not. If I try to provide others with the courtesy of positivity why should I have to listen to the negativity of people around me? I definitely do not surround myself by friends who have this oh-so-attractive personality flaw. There are times though when you really don't have this option to make (work, family etc).
My latest approach is to take the cynical spewing and lead them to a more positive perspective or a solution focused mind frame. This is also draining because people with this issue really TRY their hardest to be hopeless. They want you to feel their plight with life and the less you allow it the harder they fight. If they have the fight in them...fight to be positive people!!!
