Both positive and negative energy is contagious, but it always seems as though negative energy spreads more.

Where Does Negative Energy Come From?
You are probably not surprised but it has many sources. The world around us (as with recent events) can assault us with negativity.
Almost always you’ll find negative energy surrounding you through a traumatic experience.
Heck even a trip to the store to try and find sanitizer, only to find out they’re sold out can unleash a wave of negative energy.
In short most energy (good and bad) is a result of strong emotions. These can directly impact our environment, particularly our homes and can be oh so hard to let go of. And our home, a place that is supposed to be a sanctuary, often takes on the negative energy we feel.
Some Signs You Might Be Surrounded By Negative Energy
Sadness and anger doesn’t always equate to negative energy, but if they stay with you too long this should be looked at.
