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

It can be hard when the people we consider friends are negative towards us. Since we feel close to them, it is natural for us to want them to feel warmly towards us, too. If your friend is consistently negative towards you, you have a few options that you might consider. Option 1: You could ask them why they are acting the way they are acting towards you. (It's best to ask in private, in a space that's not noisy or chaotic, and to have a kind and gentle demeanor when doing so.) Option 2: You could let them know the way they are acting is upsetting to you using an "I feel" statement. For example, "I feel like you don't value our friendship when you are consistently negative towards me." Option 3: You don't have to spend as much time with them. Sometimes, we have to be our own gatekeepers, and recognize that not everyone deserves to be our friend, and that's okay. It's okay to have standards when those standards are in place to protect us and surround us with good, caring people.

A friend is someone who loves and support you, and if they're being negative everytime, they're not your friend. Try asking them if anything is bothering them (there might be something bad happened to them). And if they remain being negative, I'd suggest you to break up the friendship. Don't hesitate or feel like there's something wrong in you, you always deserve to be around people who love you, and if they don't, they have to be let go. In life we'll have to be a strong person, who tack stand for themselves and believe in them. I hope it helped u

You talk them and ask them why are they having such an attitude towards you, and if they can't give you a proper explanation you cut them off eventually. You need to remove toxic people from your life in order to stay healthy and happy! You deserve better, remind yourself how much you worth. Those who don't make you feel good about yourself aren't good and loyal friends. Would you ever treat a loved one like they're treating you? I bet you wouldn't. That's all you need to know. You wouldn't do what they purposely do. They don't deserve you.

That's definitely not a good way to act towards your friend! I am sorry that your friend's attitude towards you has been negative. I can understand that at your place, it might even feel a bit wrong to bring it up because you might not want to come on too strong or say something that hurts your friend. Even so, I want you to know that you deserve respect, care and support from those close to you. There's nothing wrong with wanting basic respect from a friend and for asking support/positive comments from them. Communication goes a long way - communicating how something the other person does/is doing affects you and what you'd like them to do instead. I'd also say you might benefit from seeing if establishing some boundaries with this person would help. Know that you matter and whatever you have to share, deserves to be taken and listened to, not always criticized. We are here to support you!

If my friend is always being negative towards me, I try to address the issue by talking to them. First, I go to my friend and tell them how I am feeling using I-statements. By not making them feel defensive, the conversation is more likely to be successful. After sharing my feelings, we can hopefully discuss changes in behavior that can make the relationship feel more positive (maybe giving more compliments, keeping negative thoughts to ourselves). If behavior doesn’t change after our discussion, I would gently point it out in the moment: “Linda, your words feel very negative and I’m hurt. Can you try rephrasing that please?” If that doesn’t work, then it may be time to reevaluate the friendship.
