Do you have an exit strategy when you encounter negative people?
Would you like to surround yourself with positive folks?
Here ya go. Great article from Hack Spirit. Nine ways to protect yourself from negativity.
If you’ve ever spent some time with a negative person, you know how quickly you can start to take on that negative mentality. Have you ever felt that you wish you had known how to protect yourself from negative energy?
Sometimes, it happens that people don’t even realize they have become negative as a result of being around negative people. And negative people are the worst.
If you are feeling overwhelmed from taking on the negative energy of others, there is a way to stop it from happening.
Here is how to protect yourself from absorbing other people’s negative energy so you can get on with living a more positive and productive life.

1) Identify Whose Emotion is Present

When negative emotion takes over, it’s important to identify the source. Is it your own negative emotion or did you pick it up from someone else? If it is yours, then you can deal with it and work through those emotions, but if it is someone else’s, you need to recognize that it’s not your burden to carry and let it go.

2) Put Some Distance Between You and the Negativity

Go outside, take a walk, eat lunch in your car: whatever you have to do to give yourself some space away from the negativity and the negative people, do it. Sometimes, all you need is a few minutes to regroup your thoughts and remind yourself that their negativity is not your negativity.

3) Know Your Limits

When it comes to dealing with negativity and negative energy, it’s important to know what triggers that feeling in you. When you can identify a feeling associated with negativity, you can identify it sooner and deal with it faster. If that negativity is associated with a person, you can see it coming from a mile away and start walking in the other direction.
