Lesson learned with time
People who choose to act and think negatively actively push away those who don't. Positive people subconsciously annoy them because they don't share their negative interpretation which creates cognitive dissonance.
Eg. If you are calm and the other is stressed, you're "not taking it seriously". They externalise their stress onto you.
Choosing how we respond takes mastery of ourselves, I used to be very reactive until I learned that I don't have to be, and learned that i don't want others to feel that negativity either.
It could be that person in work who complains and brings down the mood, a friend of a friend who is insecure, a family member who always sees the bad and has to tell you about it.
