How do you deal with someone who sees everything as a negative, not a thing is positive. The glass is half empty. The world is out to get me. My life sucks. Negativity is contagious, but I am trying my damnest to counter act this toxic attitude! It even trickles down to projects. She sees what the issues are and what needs to be fixed, but many times misses the value.
The world is what you make it so make it positive! I told this person, the only person who can make her happy is herself. Who has worked with someone who complains and what did you do?
What caught my attention is that she see issues and problems to be fixed in projects and you see this as a bad thing. I'm the same way, I notice issues and try to prevent them before they come up but have been told I shouldn't be so negative. I don't see it as a negative but rather proactive. If a problem is prevented in the beginning, its something you don't have to
waste time fixing at the end. And I hate having my time wasted on rework.
