Save your time from getting consumed

Negative people can be someone close to you but it does not make them eligible to take control of your time. They drain you mentally and after talking to them you left off with nothing productive to do. To save your valuable time you have to watch your actions strictly and when start overthinking, try to convert them into something meaningful.

Catch the negative thoughts

The only way to stop yourself from getting affected by the negative person and their behaviors are to watch over your thoughts. Let positive and productive thoughts pass by and catch negative ones. Stop or turn them away. 

Be confident and trust your decisions

The worst thing about negative people is they can easily spoil someone's mood with their objections. For example, if you are with them at a party and if they find (sure they will) something disappointing, you are going to catch the fire too. They will keep complaining knowing nothing is going to change and ruin your party. So, decide if you are going with them, you won't let them spoil everything for you.

React only where they listen to you

When you will react less and respond calculatively, the negative person will weaken their strength of dragging you in. When they will see that you don't care about their rants and you don't have enough room for their complaints, they may stop sharing with you but stay aware they come back too.
