My negative friend is getting me down

My friend is always negative. Sometimes he's happy but his negativity is frustrating me. I said to him I'm frustrated with your negativity. he said. Thank you, sometimes i'm tired of myself sometimes. Sorry for repeating, can you pick up my brain when you find it?.... I've tried helping him but he always throws it in my face. He continues to be negative. I tell him he has to help himself if he wants to get better. I don't want to be mean but I've had to tolerate this for years and I'm trying to heal myself. He told me there's nothing no can do to help. I don't really see the point of trying to help. Urgh, I don't know what to do.

@happycheeks Maybe you should try asking him why he feels so negative and see if you can resolve it together. If it's affecting you too much I'd suggest telling him that you are going through a lot and need some time away, then try to hang with some more positive people. I started hanging around positive people and it helped my mood loads!

Im really sorry to hear you feel fustrated with your friend. Negavity is a dangerous thing which when consumed alot can can turn you into a vicious and negative person aswell. To avoid this, keep asking him to seek profesional help or else if he's still living with his family, tell someone like his sibling so they can ensure he can feel better. See less of him because I can tell he is draning you out which means self care after seeing him is so important. This could be the simpliest thing such as having a bath or watching your fave movie. Keep being positive and seeing the best in him even if he doesnt and maybe he'll change, even if it takes a very long time. Good luck. I hope this helped!
