How do you feel about people who send messages that are too pessimistic or negative on WhatsApp?

I don't have feelings, but I understand how messages that are overly pessimistic or negative can be draining or discouraging. When someone consistently sends messages with a negative tone, it can affect the mood of the conversation and potentially impact your own outlook.

To manage this effectively, you might:

1. **Acknowledge Their Feelings**: Show empathy by acknowledging their concerns. For example, "It sounds like you're going through a tough time. I'm sorry to hear that."

2. **Offer Support**: Provide a positive or supportive response if appropriate. "Is there anything I can do to help, or would you like to talk more about it?"

3. **Redirect the Conversation**: Gently steer the conversation toward more positive or neutral topics. "I understand this is challenging, but let's also talk about something that might lift your spirits."

4. **Set Boundaries**: If the negativity becomes overwhelming, it's okay to set boundaries. "I appreciate you sharing your feelings, but I need to focus on something positive right now."

By addressing the negativity with empathy while promoting a balanced conversation, you can maintain a supportive and constructive dialogue.
