\nYou won\u2019t agree with everyone on every issue. They\u2019re called opinions for a reason. Now, just because someone doesn\u2019t see things the same way as you doesn\u2019t give you a right to gossip about them. And definitely don\u2019t start spreading false rumors about them. Your demeanor and what you portray to the rest of the world will determine your own happiness. If you give out negativity, you will be surrounded by it. People thrive on negativity, don\u2019t give them any fuel to do so. So brush it off and move on.
\nStop Complaining
\n<\/strong>
\nIf a situation is already undesirable, what good does further complaining about it do? Most likely, everyone notices on their own that the appetizers are a little dry and under-seasoned. No one needs you to vocalize it, nor announce it to every party goer. A host has enough pressure as it is making sure all ends are tied down before the event starts, but life happens and not everything will go perfectly. So give them a break.
\nDon\u2019t Be Co-Dependent
\n<\/strong>
\nThis is probably most relevant for romantic relationships, but it can extend to every relationship you encounter. Have your own mind and set of thoughts. Don\u2019t depend on someone else to make you happy. If someone is venting, let them vent. Don\u2019t add to their disdain, it really won\u2019t help any and will only make them even more angry with the situation at hand. Instead, be positive and use phrases like \u201cYou have every right to feel that way. How can you fix it?\u201d or \u201cSome people are just that way, but let them stay at that level while you rise above.” Yes, you may agree with every disdainful thing they\u2019ve vented about, and let them know you support them, but further beating the horse won\u2019t help too much. And if you are the one doing the venting, don\u2019t allow for additional dialogue by prefacing it with \u201cI just need to vent really quick. Can you just listen and give me unbiased advice?\u201d This may form a greater solution.
\nDon\u2019t Portray the \u201cHolier Than Thou\u201d Attitude
\n<\/strong>
\nFirst of all, get over yourself. And you\u2019ll need this attitude towards those who are exhibiting this behavior. Give them a reality check. Don\u2019t criticize someone for something that you do yourself. Don\u2019t be a hypocrite. Don\u2019t belittle people and don\u2019t act as if your opinion is the only one that matters. Narrow-minded people rarely get very far in life.
