Well that was an interesting reply, rings true for me too. just to let you know i did read your post too.negative people to me are so aggressive, especially when they don't catch me in their trap. am i different in the fact that i don't like agressive people,? i mean, i know sometimes i could use an aggressive person to help me out, for the better, but i feel safer with a non aggressive person, someone who i wish i could be, by being polite, nice, friendly and are not arrogant. then in my case there would be no negative emotions to deal with. i realise this is idealistic, but it is what i prefer to strive for.
