I used to have an issue with them too but I think of them as ice cubes now and understand them. It takes one regular number to melt an ice cube. As long as I remember that, I don't have a problem.
Negative 12 is like 12 ice cubes
Negative 3 is like 3 ice cubes
Which one is greater? Well 12 ice cubes is more then 3 ice cubes so if you subtract you have 9 ice cubes or a negative 9. Adding would get you 15 ice cubes or a negative 15.
A regular 12 plus a negative 12 results in what?
The answer is 0 because a regular number melts an ice cube - they zap each other so 12 plus negative 12 = 0
Like wise if it is negative 12 plus 3 you would get negative 9. Because only 3 ice cubes get zapped leaving 9 ice cubes left over .
Understand?
Hopefully this helps 
Yes, or just remember that the larger the negative, the smaller the number.
