Signs You Are A Negative Nancy

Frequently Judge Others

Negative individuals tend to frequently judge others. It's normal to have thoughts and opinions about others, but constantly engaging in gossip and judgments of those around you isn't a healthy behavior. Negative individuals have very high standards for both themselves and others. They have trouble seeing the good in others and may instead only see the flaws. By focusing heavily on flaws, they trap themselves in an endless cycle of negativity. Rather than judging what others do, it helps to practice empathy and try to understand where they're coming from. It also helps to look for the good in others so you can have a fair opinion of them that weighs both the good and the bad, rather than just focusing on the bad.
