Guys there are folks/people out there that for some reason feed on "Negative" energy. They are only happy if you and others are unhappy. They do not ever contribute anything positive to anyones life (unless they absolutely have to be nice, and then if they have to (are forced), then all owe them a significant dept and they will have their pound of flesh, so to speak).

Guys I really have no idea how to handle these kind of people. I do not mind constructive criticism (I may wiggle abit but I do understand these things are good for one).  But these folks are only happy because your are destroyed so that they can feed off of your unhappiness. My only answer at this point is to go to war with them, "and I don't care if you starve to death."

On the off chance that others/somebody might have a better way of handling these "Negative Feeding" people, I am throwing this topic out into the "Psychic" pool for suggestions.

Love,

First of all, not directed at you, I don't believe there is any such thing as "constructive" criticism.  I believe there is feed back.  We can be told that we have made a mistake or are making one.  Criticism is not on the list of being constructive for me.  I believe it is  opinion, which I can take as an opinion.  

As far as dealing with people who tend to feed on "Negative" energy.  I think it's how they learned to get attention.  I watch kids growing up.  There are some kids who get attention when they do positive things.  The people around them acknowledge the child and enjoy them doing "positive" things, saying "positive" things and they get the attention they need. Other kids don't get parents to notice them any other way than to be negative.  So, the learned to feed off that energy.
Sometimes.  I ignore the negative stuff and then when they are positive, I pay attention to them. I worked for someone who was a therapist using behavior therapy.  With my granddaughter I do my best to ignore the negative and pay attention to the positive.  
You might want to throw a bubble of pink light around you and fill it with things that are positive for you.  You can be filled with positive and they will only get positive to feed from.
Like, put smiley faces in the bubble.  Put beautiful flowers, then you smell the flowers too.
An idea.  With this group, I bet you get tons more. Some happy smilies to put in your bubble.

1st off Tourbi, you are exaxtlly right. I may re-say what you did. Please take it as a compliment.

2nd, but not least, you just get my long-winded novel.

I have 4 + kids, drive a school bus, volunteer with a lot of youth orginizations. Tourbi is almost right.
All actions are first related with a negative interaction. My kids, ( and almost all others that will admit it), the first word to their kids is no. This comes before Mama & Dada. when the kids start moving around, and they try to put their finger in the electrical socket, we all YELL NO. when they try to put what ever is on the ground into their mouths, we all YELL NO. ECT. ECT. ECT............

This is generally the 1st response any of them get. " I'M VERY GUILTY".

Almost all of us, ( because of how we were raised ), only got imidtaite attention from doing wrong.
( this is because parents want to keep us safe). But it is automatic.

I am with Tourbi here, kids rarely ever get attention from doing good, because that's whats expected from them. If we accept it, we don't praise.

I have always tried to praise my kids, because I rarely got it, but when I did, that's what I remember.

I want them to strive for exelence. But that will never happen with negative energy.

To get back to the subject: You are very correct. Most people are raised on negative energy. That's all (unfortunatly) they know. To get attention, you have to be negative.

I have taught my kids,(hopefully), to be positive.

It is a very hard thing to train yourself to be positive. Unfortionatly, that's all we know.

The one thing I have told all of my kids, is to try to put yourself in their shoes. You don't know what they are going through. Maybe their perents tell them they won't amount to anything, but what if they think they can.

Cave, Whenever anyone is negative to you, I always tell my kids to put a positive answer.
I hate my life! I love mine, I want to help.
I don't care about anythig. How can I help you. I want to.

Take what ever neg. thing you get, think about it, and turn it around to what you want to hear, a pos.

If you are the positive person, you can help anyone turn

This is your call. Not easy. But it is still your call.

Lots of love to you.

What is negative?  So much talk about 'negative energy' Is there really such a thing I wonder?

A while ago we discussed this in the Occult and Magick forum

I think it all bound it what you define as negative energies.

I would say that when you feel sad, when you are angry, yea all those situation where you feel your body is tapped for energies, then you have been exposed for negative energy.
Not all of them are equal bad, because we need those feelings too, but as we can see, those feelings consume your positivity, and if you are in them for too long, they will start to consume your health.

The same I also will say, when you meet a person, who are so negative, then when you leave the conversation then you feel quiet empty. the encounter have given you nothing, and the whole conversation has consumed lots of your own positive energies, you might feel down, and feel the urge to meet someone that can give you positive impulses back.

All this might have been said above too, I just responded to the question about "negative energies" and if they are found
