Anytime someone says anything negative my heart skips a beat whether it has anything to so with me or not and I can't talk to that person and it throws off my mood and makes me anxious for hours. Has anyone else felt that way?

Hi Weownthesky, I have experienced this before. Do you have someone you can talk to about it, a therapist maybe?

I know what you mean, negative people tend to make us feel bad with their negative way of being, talking, they simply send out a bad vibe.

The best weapon against negative thoughts are positive thoughts. Fight back by saying something positive and nice and don't take into consideration bad people with bad intentions.

Surround yourself with positive people and they will make you happy when you feel down and boost your mood every time.

I think this really comes from our fear of rejection and that's why it makes us anxious. I get it, too. I criticize myself enough, I don't need others helping.

Really, is there anything worse for anxious people than negativity? From ourselves, others, or the world around us, it's truly toxic to our psyches.

Yep, I can relate. I am overly sensitive and I give others the power over my moods. Gayleggg mentioned fear of rejection and that is another big one.

Who cares what other people think of us. That is their problem, not ours. We need to love and take care of ourselves. Don't waste anymore of your precious time concerned about negative people.

It isn't even related to fear of rejection- which I do have. It's more it makes me feel negative even if it has nothing to do with me. I have Stay Positive tattooed on me, lol.
I can't reply to friends if they're too negative because it brings my whole mood down before I even think of anything to say.
