Dear Krachel: How do I detach from negative people?

<p>Welcome to another episode of Dear Krachel, our monthly advice segment where we answer listener questions about life, career, relationships, existential angst, and anything that helps you become a more whole, fulfilled version of yourself.</p> <p>This month we answered questions from:</p> <ul> <li>Ready to Move Forward, a highly sensitive person who’s been deeply affected by the meanness and negativity of people around her.
