Negative people need drama like it’s oxygen. Stay positive and take their breath away. – Unknown.
Wow – how much do I LOVE this quote – it’s such AWESOME advise. I never really thought about it this way, but it’s sooo true. I have a sign in my classroom that says Drama Free Zone, and compared to a lot of rooms, mine is pretty peaceful. Why? Because I work to keep the drama away. They’re not allowed to talk about one another or complain about each other, and for the most part it works. The negative nancys know that if they start, they’re going to be shut down right away. I am, in a sense, depriving them of their oxygen. So when you come in contact with your own negative nancy, shut them down, don’t buy into their need for drama and watch how quickly they wither away and “die.”
