NaBloPoMo/30 Days of Truth – Day 10 – Someone I Wish I Didn't Know

Day 10 – Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know

I haaaaaaatttttteeeeeeeeeee negative people.  Haaaaaaaaatttttttteeeeeeeeeeee thhhhheeeeeeeeemmmmmmmmmmm.

You know what I’m talking about, right?  The ones that are never happy with anything in their lives, and that means they need to destroy yours also.  Even though you know that everything in your life is going rather splendidly, they have this way of wheedling into your brain and getting you to believe otherwise.

I’ve known a few people like that, and even though I know they are bad news, they get to me still.  A guy I worked with used to be that way.  He sat behind me and just spewed out all of these negative things all day long.  He teased me for “becoming best friends” with everyone I ever talked to on the phone (which was honestly a good thing because we would get discounts. My boss was pleased.)  He told me I shouldn’t date my then-boyfriend because I was going to get knocked up and have to have a shotgun wedding.  When he wasn’t busy badgering me about my life, he went into self-bashing mode where he would talk about how he would never amount to anything or he couldn’t get a girlfriend or everyone hated him.  I ended up quitting that job, and he was a large reason why.

I wish I didn’t and had never known all of the negative-nancy’s that have made their way into my life.  They are such a drag.
