Its very difficult to maintain composure in these types of circumstances, we may also be experiencing some turbulent moments in our own lives to be having to deal with other people's issues however, its inevitable, we will have to face them anyway. Listen to the solution behind the issue, but most of all feel compassion. Energetically, the feeling of compassion is very powerful, it can deflect negativity and allow you to think positively, it allows you to think of the other person and not yourself. When you need to be a listening ear or control a situation, being compassionate is the key to a successful outcome with negativity.

It creates a stronger side of your character and allows you to deflect negativity as well. Use compassion and patience to your advantage to strengthen your virtues and discipline your temperament, you will thank yourself and get to know a calmer you.
