No matter where we go, we will face people who are negative, people who oppose our ideas, people who piss us off or people who simply do not like us. There are 6.4 billion people out there and conflict is a fact of life. This fact isn’t the cause of conflict but it is the trigger to our emotions and our emotions are what drive us back to our most basic survival instinct; react and attack back to defend ourselves.

In these instinctual moments, we may lose track of our higher selves and become the human animal with an urge to protect ourselves when attacked. This too is natural. However, we are the only animal blessed with intelligence and having the ability to control our responses. So how can we do that?

I regularly get asked “How do you deal with the negative comments about your articles? They are brutal. I don’t think I could handle them.” My answer is simple, “I don’t let it bother me to begin with.” It wasn’t always this simple, and took me some time before overcoming this natural urgency to protect myself and attack back.

I know it’s not easy, if it was easy, there wouldn’t be difficult or negative people to begin with.


Why Bother Controlling Our Responses?

Hurting Ourselves - One of my favorite sayings is “Holding a grudge against someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” The only person we hurt is ourselves. When we react to negativity, we are disturbing our inner space and mentally creating pain within ourselves.

It’s Not About You, It’s About Them - I’ve learned that when people initiate negativity, it is a reflection of their inner state expressed externally and you just happen to be in front of that expression. It’s not personal, so why do we take it personally? In short: Because our ego likes problems and conflict. People are often so bored and unhappy with their own lives that they want to take others down with them. There have been many times when a random person has left a purposefully hurtful comment , and regularly checked back to see if anyone else responded to their comment, waiting eagerly to respond with more negativity.

Battle of the Ego - When we respond impulsively, it is a natural and honest response. However, is it the smart thing to do? What can be resolved by doing so? The answer: Nothing. It does however feed our ego’s need for conflict. Have you noticed that when we fight back, it feels really satisfying in our heads? But it doesn’t feel very good in our soul? Our stomach becomes tight, and we start having violent thoughts? When we do respond irrationally, it turns the conversation from a one-sided negative expression into a battle of two egos. It becomes an unnecessary and unproductive battle for Who is Right?

Anger Feeds Anger. Negativity Feeds Negativity. - Rarely can any good come out of reacting against someone who is in a negative state. It will only trigger anger and an additional reactive response from that person. If we do respond impulsively, we’ll have invested energy in the defending of ourselves and we’ll feel more psychologically compelled to defend ourselves going forward. Have you noticed that the angrier our thoughts become, the angrier we become? It’s a negative downward spiral.

Waste of Energy - Where attention goes, energy flows. What we focus on tends to expand itself. Since we can only focus on one thing at a time, energy spent on negativity is energy that could have been spent on our personal wellbeing.

Negativity Spreads - I’ve found that once I allow negativity in one area of my life, it starts to subtly bleed into other areas as well. When we are in a negative state or holding a grudge against someone, we don’t feel very good. We carry that energy with us as we go about our day. When we don’t feel very good, we lose sight of clarity and may react unconsciously to matters in other areas of our lives, unnecessarily.

Freedom of Speech - People are as entitled to their opinions as you are. Allow them to express how they feel and let it be. Remember that it’s all relative and a matter of perspective. What we consider positive can be perceived by another as negative. When we react, it becomes me-versus-you, who is right? Some people may have a less than eloquent way of expressing themselves - it may even be offensive, but they are still entitled to do so. They have the right to express their own opinions and we have the right and will power to choose our responses. We can choose peace or we can choose conflict.
Since you're surfing the web- why not post a link to this? That allows the author to get credit for his or her words.

Otherwise are you claiming them as your own? (Answer carefully here).

And Darrell, indeed practice what you preach- Go back to your first thread, read it and then provide an apology to Mr. Miller- For all the negativity that you directed to him, the conflict you sought to create and that which you now feel is misguided.

In fact- use this forum to voice your apology- I am sure he will see it.

Here's the link, started by you, added to by you and full of your anger, your negativity and some good old fashioned ego- Of course there is no ego in your username right? NVMYVETTES (Envy My Vettes); is there?

You amuse me.

Time to stand behind your words- Up to it?

Scorp
Scorp the first line in that post : There are 1000s of articles like this one.

I would think that would be interpeted as something writtten somewhere.

As far as things said in the posts to John. Nowhwere did I see him called Arrogant or Ignorant.I did call him a liar, because he lied.I did post the google link for the reason I stated. The thread did get a little ugly when other people made accusations that werent true. But like I said in that post, we are humans and not perfect.(I did write the 1st paragraph in my own words) I did play their negative game. And for that part I was wrong. But Im only sorry that I lowered myself to their standards.
I still think as origianally stated, they would get better results in some of thier persuits if they played a little nicer and took other peoples feeling into concideration. Look at it this way. If you were in a court forum, televised debate, or anything simular, would you win using the abusive tactics that are used on here a lot of times. More than likely you would be held in contempt , kicked out, or both.

Im sorry I dont see it that way. My intentions were as stated. To let him know he could easily be found if I decided to persue him leagally. It was not intended for any other reason.Its public info and on the net. So is my house and maybe even yours.

Now thats my excuse. Whats your excuse for being, the abusive, name calling person you are? Your quick to set in front of computer screen and point out other peoples flaws, while at the same time exposing your own. Do you think it makes you look like a big man? It really shows how little you are. If you took out the childish abusive parts of your post, there would'nt be anything left to read

As you say, that is YOUR opinion. Fact is I stuck up for you privately to some and ended up eating my words. You are a classic antagonizer, yet you wonder why people are upset??? You had some legitimate points (why I stuck up for you) that I clearly understood. Now you are grandstanding, insulting the "Forum Sharks", who have helped many and will continue to do so with or without your or my help. You however seem to think you are above EVERYONE on here and demean their accomplishments as well as their way of acheiving it. You call people more names (in your "POLITE" way") than anyone, but it is ok because you have somehow rationalized your own actions while condemning everyone else. In case you can't read, EVERYONE is against you on this. And why you ask???????? ARROGANCE on your part. You pick the fight and then wonder why there is one????? Well, add this name to the list I have called you................ DELUSIONAL.... You have missed every point and summarily dismissed them simply because you believe otherwise. As I stated many times, practice what you preach and you would possibly get a diffenen't result.

LOL I expected resistence when I commented on this post that someone else started. I also expected it when I brought it back to the top. I knew there would be crude comments name calling and the rest of the BS that goes along with posting on here. But as you openly admit I have tried to respond in a polite way. I really try my best to be nice to everyone. Does it work all the time? NO. Im human and emotions take over from time to time. Nobodys perfect. Even though some have not played so nice,I would still help them anyway I can if ask. Like I stated in my post about John, I dont dislike anybody on here. But Im not the kind of guy thats takes it lying down either. Not a quiter in other words. I worked in direct sales for 25 years. Ive had over 300 people working under me at one time. Early on in my career my nick name was prick,because I always used what I called the 2x4 approach. That means I would rudley try to beat things into peoples heads. And it worked to a certain extent. But it only had a short term effect. Then I attended a motivational seminar and realized that there was a better way that had long term effects. Get people to want to do the right thing was better than making them do the right thing. Since then I have spent thousands of $$$ on motivation books ,tapes, and seminars.It has allowed me to have more control over my emotions therefor making most of decissions with my mind instead of my emotions. Which seems to get a better result most of the time. Does it work all the time ? NO. Do I always think with my mind instead reacting with my emotions? NO. But the more I'm aware that there is a problem, the more I work on trying to get better at it.

Now you may say that this has nothing to with this thread. But I believe it does. If you can figure out a way to get these people to want to do the right thing instead of beating them into it, then I believe it will yield a better result. And yes there may be times, you have to beat them into it.But I would use it as a last resort. And Im certianly not taking anything away from the success that you've had so far. My hats off to you. But again theres always room for improvement. When your green your growing, when your ripe your rotten. Its what you learn after you think you know it all that counts the most now.

Again JMO.
