Limit contact if you have to, I've had to do that with terribly negative family members, unfortunately. Their attitude and beliefs are so cancerous on certain issues, I can't be exposed to it for too long without it billowing over to me and affecting me. You need to make sure you limit those kinds of influences, one way or another, basically.
Yeah I've already done this with my entire family and extended family to various degrees.
Pattern interrupts are a good idea. What are they though and do you have any examples of ones I can use?

Fulfilling a need, simple as that. Especially since many companies DON'T do that, and only see short term profits so they exploit people. As a result, people get defensive and jaded when dealing with companies. As long as it's abundantly clear to them they are getting good solid value, they will love dealing with you and treasure it. My customers go NUTS for my company, because I've fostered good quality long term connections, giving them true real value, solving a need/want, they know what they're getting with me.
Hmmm, I guess you don't work door-to-door.
Yeah most people I come across are negative as f*ck. I, of course, know my product is solid but they don't, so it's not like they can tell right from the get-go.
Maybe I could use pattern interrupts with them?
