Critical people

Critical people can be real downers; Critical people are emotionally stingy, because they are so bent on harping on” flaws” and what’s not there.

We all have some naysayer in our lives – people who discourage us from dreaming big, cracking jokes, having fun or even saying a simple thing like breaking a bad habit or a good relationship, they are wet blankets always floundering in their little pools of misery.
It is not something that will last. Talk about a wet blanket! Before you know it, your mood is switched 180 degrees, from a happy state to one of annoyance and irritation.

Such people can tend to have a draining effect on our self-confidence. Most of the times, naysayers have little to add to the conversation, serving only to extinguish your hopes and dreams. Most of the times, their criticisms reflect more about themselves than about you. Rather than give praise, they can only criticize. Rather than face negativity, surround yourself with positivity instead.

History shows us that the people who end up changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – have always been, happy go lucky, unconventional, contrarians, appear crazy/ nuts, until they are right, and then they are hailed as geniuses.
