Negative energy doesn't really exist. Psychics don't either; they're just lying for money. You'd be a lot better off if you stopped believing in things that aren't there and stopped caring what other people think about you.

Don't stare at strangers or hear what they say about you. Present dogs with a happy & smiley face and have love for them in heart.

And you are mediating means you're thinking it over & over again which is one of the reasons you're being paranoid.

Remember: to feel the difference you don't need a new world, you just need new eyes :)

Hope your problem goes away soon.

You'll get different interpretations, depending on how you chose to perceive the world. The point of view of New Age thought would say, you're drawing negative energy. Secular POV would say it's all in your head and coincidences. However, I'm going to give you a POV from a Christian perspective.

The negative forces are demonic in nature. Demons are fallen angels who hate God and humans. Evil spirits can gain access to your body if you're engaged in habitual sinful thoughts (lusting, jealously, bitterness, idol worship, etc) or sinful actions (stealing, gossiping, lying, getting involved fortune telling, palm readings, etc). These sins weaken your spiritual defenses and make you vulnerable to attacks. Once inside, demons will wreak havoc to your mind and soul, by filling you with fear and suspicion. Now, these evil spirits work together with other evil spirits, who are in other people, even animals such as dogs, to do whatever they can to torment you. Not just because they hate humans, but their goal is to draw you away from God.

In order to get rid of these evil spirits, you have to turn away from a sinful lifestyle and live a holy life through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is our connection to God the Father. Commit your life to Jesus Christ and ask God for forgiveness, to cleanse your life of everything negative and evil. In the power and authority of Christ cast out these demon, and live a righteous life so demons don't come back or follow you around.

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

You wrote, random strangers say horrible things about you. I do not understand how that can happen. You must be interpreting looks as bad when they do not even care who you are.

Get your mind on something constructive, even if it is just watching nature.

Well, I'd just try to work on mentally dispelling it. Visualise grinding it up into love (or if it seems less cheesy, positive energy--same thing, though, really). It also might help to keep a positive attitude.
