Impact of Negative People on Mental Health

Negative people ruin your life. There was a study that was done in two thousand

and six called the Bad Apple Effect, where they took a group of five people and

randomly added a negative person to some of the groups to see

how it would affect the groups while working on tasks.

Groups with one negative person did forty percent worse

on all of their tasks, and the quality of their work decreased by

twenty-five percent. They also found that the groups with a negative person had

fifty percent more conflicts, which led to more disagreements and

less collaboration. The crazy part though, like the real crazy part,

is these sessions were only about thirty to sixty minutes.

Some of you have had a negative person in your life your entire life.

Imagine what they are doing to you mentally.

You have to be okay with letting them go because your mental health is so

important that you need to prioritize that over everything else in your

life.
