There is so much negativity around me,how can i protect myself from that?..Some people of my family with whom i have to interact regularly ,they are diplomatic,back-biters and always complaining..i don’t want to be like that but i am afraid that their company would make me so..i hate people sitting for long hours and back biting or discussing every small act of other family members..How can i NOT be like that?

Re: Negativity..
I hate when people are back bitting and then if you ask them why you said this about me..then they would be like..no i didnt said this
the same people will be nice to you if you are with them but behind your back, they will be back bitting...i hate such type of people.
Re: Negativity..
I just call the person out on their behavior if they are close to my age group.. if they are older... I just smile, say ji and try to get out of the situation as soon as possible.
Sometimes, when ppl like those who are older than me say something behind someones back and when tht person gets back into the group.. and they say something totally different to tht person.. I just innocently correct them so next time they dont even talk about stuff like tht around me

My Phupo (aunt) is like that. But my mother doesn't like this type of discussions and politely told her so. That I'm not interested in what anyone else is doing.

If you are sitting in the group and they start this sort of conversation, politely ask then to change the subject and talk about something good and positive.
If they carry on b-itching about others then just leave quietly without coming across as rude. They will soon understand that you're not interested and wont avoid starting these conversations infront of you.
HTH. :)
