If you have a family member or friend who is always negative, try to understand why he interprets everything in the worst possible light. Show him a more positive way of viewing the world. For example, maybe your husband is complaining that his daughter wrote on his Father’s Day card that she loved him, but also asked why was he always so negative. Empathize with his hurt feelings first, and then try to discuss (without judging) how his personal views are affecting his relationships with her (and maybe everyone else). Work out a plan that you can implement together to help him develop a more positive take on things.
