That saying use to bother the heck outta me but you know what? It's true! There are some people who are always going to find the bad in whatever you do or say. There is nothing you can do to change their mind. Face it, these kinda folks can be toxic and you should try to steer clear of them whenever possible. Please don't confuse this with friends giving you honest advice either.
Good friends will and should let you know if you are doing something dumb however naysayers will find fault in EVERYTHING you do. Do not try to placate them...just slowly move away. I read some where not to shoot down anyone's dream, it may be the only thing that keeps them going. Be supportive when you can, make sure all criticism is followed up with something constructive, and if you can't say anything nice...shut the hell up :).
