Black cloud of death syndrome. That's exactly the problem I have with my roommate right now. Try to avoid miserable people at all costs. They will drag you down.
Whenever someone is miserable make a point of intentially ignoring them. Make sure it is obvious that you are snubbing them. But reward them with friendliness when they are in a good mood, this will train them to be in a good mood in your presence. Punish them for miserable behavior , reward them for happy behavior. You have a special gift in that you have the power to make people feel good. Make use of it.
Bet you didn't know you can train people like dogs:footballreferee:, did you?
It is possible to avoid one people but it's very difficult to have an affect on the atmosphere of a workplace where several hundred people are working not to mention the whole organization which is much bigger. It's very hard in the organization because the source of the bad atmosphere is invisible.
When dealing with people outside of office
I basically avoid people who pull me down mentally or who take advantage of my energies or friendliness. In some cases I just have to deal some people for the sake of others (some relatives) and in those cases I completely withdraw. In those situations nobody would recognize me as ENFP.
