My friend is always negative towards me. What do I do?

You should always let go of negativity. If one is continuously negative towards you, they may have issues in regards to themselves and the only way to express is to take it out on the closest people around

It's best to be open and honest in how you feel. If you feel your friend is always being negative towards you try to just openly and honestly speak with them about it. It is possible they may not realize that is how they are coming off. Remain calm and explain your feelings to them. Let them know what and why you feel this way. In my experience if they are a friend who cares and a friend who is worth your friendship and time they will listen and take what you have to say and how you feel into consideration and try to fix it. Also remember be fair let it be a conversation you both take part in let them express their feelings as well and try to understand their side. You cannot expect your friend to do something you won't yourself do.

If someone, especially a friends, is being rude to you or treating you not like how you want to be treated, you should remove yourself from that relationship immediately. If you do feel like the friendship could work out and you want it to, then talk to him/her about this. If they continue to reflect negativity, you can make the choice to remove yourself. If they are willing to make a change, you can give the friendship another try.

Talk to you friend clearly. Ask him why he is always negative towards you and tell him that it hurts you.

It doesn't sound like your friend is very supportive. If you feel able to, it may be a good idea to talk to your friend and explain that you find her very negative towards you.

Speak with them alone. Express how they make you feel. If they cannot accept that they are negatively affecting you, then they are not a true friend. Friends protect and guide each other. Friends don’t go around belittling and disrespecting others. They stand up for each other and if they can’t do that, I’d suggest you find a new friend who is true and positive.

It depends how long it's been going on for, I'd say. If that just is sort-of her personality and it's dragging you down, perhaps it's time to cut off ties. You could always talk to your friend and tell them how you feel. Maybe they don't even realize how they are coming across! If they are a good friend, they will be able to reach some sort of conclusion that you both feel good about. If they deny being negative towards you, or if you think they would have an even more negative reaction if you confronted them about their behavior, maybe it's time to just let the relationship fade away.

I have experienced something similar, although I don't really know your friend. In my case my friend started with being negative, then got more and more rude to me, I think the best thing to do is to weigh of the fun and and pain you get from your friendship. If the fun wins you have you answer, if the bad wins maybe taking a bit emotional distance will save you. This is only my personal experience in a short answer, I don't know your situation, but please consider it :) Good luck hope it all turns out well.

My friends also have a history of being negative to me. I tried to stick it out, but things got to tough so I had to distance myself from them, this got us all to realize how important our friendship is to each other so we stayed friends, but aren't as close. Maybe you could pull them individually to the side and talk to them about it. However, if this friendship becomes to toxic you should probably end it.

I will show that they are no help with my problems or that i yalk abot and tell them the honest truth that they are negative towards me even though they are my friend they should help me instead of hurting me in any way and if they stay negative they are no friend towards me in any way even though we help eachother negativity is not the way to go no matter if i care for them they cant show that negativity towards me or others and i will also tell then that every negative thought will hurt me in everyway

I take it in a positive way and make him positive towards me. I will also make him known of it precisely how mean it is, after that if he changes its a good thing, If he doesn't changes then its time to change him I guess.

I would confront them about and tell them exactly how I feel. You should be honest as you don't want this to carry on. It's not good for your mental health. It could really impact the way you feel and put your mood down. If they don't listen then I would stop talking to this friend. You should have positive vibes around you and someone who will be there for you during hard times. Don't be saddened if this was your very close friend, you will make many more who will treat you better. It's so important to have a positive support system.

You have to retire making this friend happy around you. Make your self-happy and tell her to make herself happy too then rekindle the friendship...

nobody has the right to be negative towards you, no matter what. try and look at your boundaries and work towards communicating with your friend as to how it is hurting you. if they stop (for good), they have empathy and are listening to you. if not, i'd suggest you find a way to make another friend. while i understand it's a hard hitting answer, it would be the best possible method for you until you rebuild your boundaries :-)

If anyone in your life is being constantly negative towards you, they are most likely not good for you to be around. If you have talked to them about how they act around you and they continue to do so, it might be time to say goodbye to them, despite how hard it is to do. You'll feel better in the end not being around such negative feedback.

It sounds like this person isn't acting as a friend toward you. In a situation like this, I would ask myself what it is I value about this person and our relationship. Is it just companionship, or something specific about this person? Is it something that still exists between us, or is that gone? If the things you value aren't specific to this person, or aren't a result of who that person is, sometimes the answer is that you aren't really friends. Sometimes people behave poorly under strenuous personal circumstances, so consider whether they're going through something difficult. It's not okay for them to take it out on you, but it can help you understand the situation a little better. Always ask yourself, 'what could be causing this person to act this way if it isn't about me?' It can help you get a better idea of how to manage what's happening, because we often take things personally that really aren't about us at all. It is always okay to take a step back from a friendship if you need to. This can often help a lot because then you'll be able to work things out when the person is able to interact ith you kindly again. If a person's presence in your life is only negative, it is time to seriously consider moving on.

Communication is everything. Try talking to your friend, find out why, ask questions. Negative or ‘toxic’ friends can be mentally draining, and no one deserves that. Judge by your friends answer; ask yourself “is this a valid reason that I should try to empathize with, or is it time to cut ties?”

i suppose they're not really going to be aware of their own behaviour until someone brings it up to them. might be worth flagging it up with them as politely as possible to see if they might start to watch the things they say a little more. if they react negatively to that, then maybe consider whether or not this is the type of friend you'd like to have around. not that i'm saying to go around cutting people out ruthlessly! just maybe make a good attempt to reason with them first, and if it seems like actually, they're just a negative or mean-spirited person, then there's not a whole lot you can do to change that other than to ask them to work on themselves

You tell them how you feel. If they still don't get you, maybe you should get new friends. They can be toxic to you and affect your mental health. It's always better to surround yourself with positive people who care about you. they should motivate you in life and support you whenever you do not feel at your best. Identifying a toxic relationship is very important and necessary. If you feel that you're friends are always negative towards you, then you have to see if your friendship is what it used to be... Finding the right people in your life shouldn't be taken for granted. :)

You shouldn't be friends with that person because it is a form of bullying. Bullying means harassing. There is 6 types of bullying and they are verbal, cyber, prejuducial, physical, sexual, and relational bullying. Your friend was being a verbal bully which means talking about someone. Some examples are rumors, name calling, teasing, threatening, taunting, and inappropriate sexual comments. Make sure you tell their parents and tell the principal, because it can happen over and over again until you tell their parents and the principle. If it keeps happening tell the same people until it stops. Also tell the counselor and the teachers.

One obvious solution is to walk away from them. But this is easier said than done; while we could always walk away from the bartender with a bad attitude or the airline agent with an anger-management problem, we can’t walk away from a parent, sibling, spouse, colleague, or friend with a negative attitude. A practical approach to dealing with them is to start by understanding the reasons for their negativity. In brief, almost all negativity has its roots in one of three deep-seated fears: the fear of being disrespected by others, the fear of not being loved by others, and the fear that “bad things” are going to happen. These fears feed off each other to fuel the belief that “the world is a dangerous place and people are generally mean."

First, told her that I can do well and next, I'm going to try improving myself so I can show her that I really can. I think this will change her perspective towards me and I think this will makes her see me as a positive person. I can also told her that no one is perfect and I am a human that sometimes can make mistakes and actually people have their own gifts.

This could be interpreted two ways: ~Your friend is negative about everything when speaking to you: in this situation you should try your best to make your friend see optimistically rather than pessimistically. If your friend is still negative after some time, and shows sign of depression or such mental health issues you should refer them to or suggest they see a professional. ~Your friend is negative about you towards you: you should tell your friend how you feel about how they are towards you. This kind of friendship is toxic and will make you very unhappy. If nothing changes, although it may be difficult the best thing to do is rid yourself of this toxic friendship.

That is no friend. If that “friend” is constantly bringing you down then they aren’t a true one. Your friends should bring you up and bring out the best in you. You deserve so much better. ❤️ I had a friend who did that and took me forever to realize that but I realized it a moment too late. I always put her before myself and I considered myself to be loyal and a great friend. I did not get it in return but I felt I wouldn’t get another friend like her. Well, I should of learned because she crushed me by doing the unspeakable to me. Just know that you can find other friends that will raise you up and show you who you can become. You deserve the world and find friends who can prove that to you. ❤️

Friends should be supportive and kind to you. If your friend is being negative it may be time to assess whether cutting them off is a valid possibility. Cutting out toxicity can be very difficult but is also extremely important to do. If it's a sudden change in your friend's personality, though, something may be going on at home or elsewhere. While it does not excuse their mistreatment towards you, it may be something to investigate before just cutting them out. While it's never easy to do, try and read the situation, you know them and the situation best, what do you think has happened? Has something changed? Have they always been negative towards you?

If your friends are sending you negative energy or are making you doubt your self in any way then, I am sorry to say but you should find different friends. Real friends don't make you feel bad about yourself.

if your friend is always negative towards you, they really aren’t your friend. you should try looking for other people to surround yourself with. it is not good to have negativity in your life. it is best to keep yourself as positive as possible in order for you to enjoy life. tell this certain friend how you feel as well. if is important for them to understand how you feel in order for them to realize it and stop. this will also allow them to see how what they are doing is not good and it could possibly make them change the way they act.

It never hurts to have a conversation with your friend and tell them how you are feeling and how their comments affect you. Asking them why can help both of you realise if there are any other underlying issues and will help you both to move forward. It is really important to be calm and rational because at the moment you don't know the whole story, it wouldn't be useful for any of you go raging at each other. If your friend continues after you talk to them a couple times you Cana lways ask an adult or another friend to help.

Make sure that you did not deprived them of the respect they deserved as a friend.If you think that you have behaved well with them,remained with them in their time of needs then you have nothing to do more for them.If they still thinks negative of you, just let them behave negatively.You will surely find a better friend for yourself.Life has to go on you cannot be stuck on someone for ever and also self care and self respect is the most important thing.You cannot control anyone's thought but you can surely control your actions and live a happy life.

Ask if you did something bad to your friend that would make them act so negative. If your friend is acting bad for a reason you don’t know you could always ask them why or maybe consult with a mutual friend. Sometimes it can be scary to ask for help but if you are in a situation where you don’t know what to do I suggest you ask someone you trust for help, that’s what I do. I might have something to do with your friend’s personal life usch as family or friends, keep in mind that it can be a touchy subject so be careful when you ask them.
