Avoid Negative People Relationships that Eat Away Your Soul Alive

They never taught you this in school but let’s face it; it is quite simple to slip into a relationship with negative people who are not positive. They start smelling of roses and somewhere down the line things seem to go dramatically wrong.

This is a good time to decide whether the positives and negatives are balanced.

You know after a break up if you are emotionally tired and unhappy, you really might not feel too ‘gung-ho’ about getting back into the dating game. However, this is a faster way to recovery and getting back on to the track of happiness.

The cold hard truth is it’s a learning experience as to what to avoid.

Try using these precautionary methods not to attract negative relationships; negative people in general:

Remember that loneliness is like a trap that makes many people go back to the person who was not the right person for them. In your soul you know but the emotional craving makes you go back thinking that things might change this time round. Reality is that they won’t.

Familiarize yourself with your partner: This will enable you to get to know the person before jumping into an emotionally serious relationship. Having healthy conversations could be one of the keys. If you hit a speed breaker you can decide if you want to break up or work on it.

Try and unravel the person’s past before getting too involved: people who show indications of having a violent or addictive pasts don’t usually make good relationship material but check it out.

Manipulative people are the ones who are the real charmers. They know how to charm their way and it’s very difficult to recognize them. But if it happens too often it can put a serious dent into the relationship and your self esteem. People who are manipulative tend to be dominating and self-centered. These are the little instances and snags that you should look out for. Don’t get attached to these charmers.

Create a tick-list. What are you really seeking in your partner? The qualities that you would not like to have versus the qualities you would like your partner to have. Remember these should be fundamental qualities as the rest will all be transitional. Relationships are never easy and you need a constant reality check. Do not lose hope by looking at the ones that fail. There are a huge number of people out there with success stories.

So it is okay to avoid relationships that drain you.

Don’t go for the outwardly appearance like a fast car or posh home as these are deceptive. Don’t go for looks or similar tastes but what you should look for are the basic principles and values and morals that make a person. Look for the way the person will handle a crisis, how do they react when angry, how they solve conflicts?

Ensure that you keep in mind that you don’t get stuck in these negative relationships. There are always options and no dead ends in life. Search for the right partner and you will find them.
