It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a positive post on social media will make you feel good. And if you post something negative, it will affect you negatively. But how long does that feeling last?

According to a new study, positive posts last for just a few seconds, but negative rants produce a stream of negativity that goes on for many minutes. Then there is this little bit of info…..

The study says this:

“It’s not just that this negative chat has a long life, but it has a longer effect on the original speaker. Negative people are really hurting themselves”

Think about that. People who speak negatively about others will be affected even more themselves. So the next time you decide to rip on someone, think how much you are putting yourself down.
