I think everyone can relate to this:
You are talking to someone (on the phone or in real life) who just can´t help themselves but spread misery around. This can be either a marketing call or an annoying family member. They will use negative bait to draw you in and make you agree that indeed, you are quite the nuisance.
Now you can let them talk and stop listening, but often their negative attitudes find a way into your head anyway. So I want to suggest we take a bit of time and see if we can find responses to these people that will throw them off - while at the same time, staying away from their negativity.
For example:
- Did you just have surgery on your fun bone (I know, terrible)
- Are you enjoying the weather as well, I think I´ll go on a great walk
- I had an amazing lasagna yesterday!
Let´s see if we can make a change here and turn things around :D
