Advice to avoid negative energy?
My partner and I keep having these weird, negative interactions when we’re out dancing, and I’m wondering what we can do to diffuse things. We both dance pretty free-spiritedly, but sometimes when people see my boyfriend dancing, they’ll come up and comment specifically on how he’s dancing or copy his movements. Some times it seems in good fun, other times there is definitely a feel of negative energy to it. I love to see him dancing happy and free, but it seems like his expression of himself just draws people’s attention. I’m wondering if there’s something I can do or say to peacefully remind people to focus on themselves and not worry about other people. I definitely don’t want to be confrontational, but it’s not like we’re asking people to come up to us. We’re just there, vibing, enjoying everything, and then bam, someone enters into our little area and points out his dancing. I just don’t get it. There is absolutely no scenario where I would walk up to a complete stranger and make fun of or copy their dancing. Have you guys ever had something like this happen? If so, what’s a good way to shift the focus and keep things positive? Very much appreciate any advice!
