have found them at the workplace. I have found them in social clubs and organizations. I have even found them in my family. They seem to be everywhere from every walk of life.
I am referring to negative people. Why are some people negative? How are they able to cause problems in our lives? Can we change them? These are just some of the questions that surface in my mind when I think of or start discussing negative people. 
I will address the above questions and share some simple solutions that will help you deal with negative people if applied.
Why are some people negative? Well, there are various reasons. I believe it is simply due to a lack of happiness they have for themselves and their life. There is an old saying, "Misery loves company." It is an old saying, but a very true one!
Another main reason people are negative is due to the old green eyed monster. That monster happens to be jealously. Jealously can blind a persons view on the truth and consume their hearts to the point where they feel nothing but hatred for someone else. It's sad, but it's a true fact.
Negative people make the mistake of comparing their lives to the lives of others. This is an error because each individual is entirely unique and responds differently to their experiences in life. Each of us have a life to live and play a commanding role as to how our lives turn out. Negative people feel that no one should experience any happiness at a time when they are experiencing grief. This is a selfish and ignorant perspective to have about life!
Here are some factors that I have found that can cause people to be negative:
*Employment situation-You have many people that have jobs that they are not happy with and they do not have the skill or employment to find something better for themselves. This can cause them to feel indifferent to those that have a better job in their eyesight.
*Financial situation-You should have know that I was going to mention this one. Some negative people blame financially secure people for their plight. They have a selfish inner voice that will state, "How does he or she has all of that money while I am struggling to pay my bills?"
