Egypt Section: If you have a friend that is a negative influence..?

Question

Would you:

a.) tell them that you cannot speak to them because they are a bad influence

OR

b.) little by little stay away from them until you don't have any more contact with the person

Why?

Answer 1

i dont tell them so as not to hurt their feelings or start a fight .

i try to keep away little by little saying im busy , or give whatever reason that comes to my mind .

moreover , i develop a negative feeling towards them so as not to be influenced by them or be tied to them.

Answer 2

Neither ...Deal them normally....even he or she needed help...Then am at his or her service....

Even those of negative influence.....we can push them to be positive....

At least you take "hasanat" for that

Answer 3

B is good :)

Answer 4

i agree with radical vampire  bec i believe that negative influence comes from stresses this person is having so it is better to help if u can

Answer 5

A.  because if you have recognized they are a bad influence and no longer want that in your life you need to do what is right for you and cut off contact.  

If you don't like confrontation and have no desire to change your friend or discuss the negativity then go with B and just say you have gotten too busy to spend time with them.  

Answer 6

b.) little by little stay away from them until you don't have any more contact with the person

Only if he/she didn't accept my advise coz it will be useless contacting this person.

Answer 8

B

but yaa b is the best!

Answer 9

Neither.

I try to show them there is another way, i try to be more up-beat around them & play with their spirits. Then if it really doesn't work, i tag them, its like when they say something negative, i state the positive. It stops them dead usually, & i only have to remind them occasionally.  

It worked with a really stubborn man at my work, he's a lot better, with me at least.
