Meetings are so negative !!

I was listening in to the meeting this morning and realised that the majority of meetings are SO negative. I can’t recall a time where someone doesn’t mention something bad going on in the world. Today the doomsday clock was mentioned. A war is always mentioned. So is some kind of natural disaster that’s happened somewhere…. I learn more about what’s going on in the news when attending a meeting than I do via the actual news! They all thrive off it. I don’t know how people don’t leave a meeting feeling more anxious and depressed than before! I’m always triggered. More fool me for still listening (I know). But I do what I have to, to keep the peace in my family.
