negative energy
Draining emotional atmosphere
Negative energy describes a pessimistic, hostile, or draining atmosphere that someone brings to a situation or relationship.
The phrase comes from New Age and spiritual contexts where energy supposedly radiates from people and affects others: I had to leave—there was too much negative energy in that room.
It often serves as a polite way to say someone's attitude is bringing everyone down: She's always complaining and spreading negative energy.
In physics, negative energy has a technical meaning related to certain theoretical states, but everyday usage is almost entirely about vibes and mood.
