Ep 129 | Your Inner Circle - a podcast by Amer Abu Shakra, Austin Trudeau, & John Morgan III

Why is it that positive people get sucked into the darkness of negative people?

“I don’t know whether I should be limiting my time or eliminating it. I can think of people whom I genuinely love, who’s life trajectory just isn’t optimized. Isn’t it naïve to think I’m above their influence despite my confidence in myself?”

In this week’s episode, Amer shares his concerns around having personal relationships that he feels the need to compartmentalize to certain areas of his life, so that he does not get weighed down by negative influence.

It is possible that this phenomenon depends on how bright the lightness is and how dark the darkness is.

Listeners, let’s think about the last time you had a great day. Just kidding. Think about the last time you had a bad day.

Then try and think a little further: was it really all bad, from the moment you got out of bed? Probably not; one bad thing happened, and then the good lunch you had with your friends and the job interview you aced just didn’t seem so important anymore. Or maybe you were at work, and your boss is gave you some well-deserved praise. Then she told you there was one line on your paperwork that needed to be tweaked, and before you knew it, you were beating yourself up for that one mistake for the rest of the week. Or maybe you went home after work and turned on the news. The coverage never surprises you: war, crime, disaster.

Maybe you wonder why this is. Your answer? Negative news attracts more consumers (Nguyen & Claus, 2013). Slide in our DMs to tell us about your story!
