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

Confront your friend and tell them how you feel about their negative attitude and impact towards you. Don't feel afraid to talk about your problems.

If your friends arent supportive of you then they are not your friends. You should surround yourself with friends that support you.

You can confront your friend and ask then why they are so negative towards you. Friends should be supportive and understanding. If you feel uncomfortable or stressed around them, maybe look for another friend. Find positivity within yourself and try not to let other people's negativity get you down.

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.

Try and ask them if they are ok, maybe they are being negative because they are unhappy about something. Maybe they disagree with something you are doing and are trying to be supportive. If they are simply being rude and unfairly negative and you have checked if they are ok, ask them why they ar treating you this way.

Try and turn her negativity against her and turn it into something positive agree with her and turn whatever she/he said to a positive way

Set boundaries. Do not tolerate any disrespect or negativity from anyone regardless of whether it is your friend, family, boyfriend, colleague, etc. You need to be confident, sit down with them, and openly communicate about what is concerning you or what she or he is doing. If you think they they are being a bad friends towards you, I would take a step back from them or even cut them off. Yes, it will be painful and hard but you will have this rewarding feeling afterwards. You need to remember that they are supposed to be on your side, they are supposed to uplift you, not bring you down. Respect yourself enough to walk away from people that don't respect you. You deserve to be happy without having someone bring you down.

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.

Calmly talk to her and say you don’t want to be friends with her if she keeps acting like this. Try to stay calm while saying this so your friend stays calm. If they get mad just stop talking to them and give them their space.

Try writing a letter to them explaining how it makes you feel, that way you have complete control in what you say since it is pre-planned.

Nobody deserves to be treated in a negative way and when it comes to friends, they are the ones with whom you share some bond and their negative behavior could really affect you. The first step is always about acknowledging and though it's sad to find your own friend behaving in such a way, it's good that you at least recognized that something's wrong. There are a variety of steps you could take further. Maybe thinking about the situations again and acknowledging what exactly makes it seem negative could help? Maybe asking the person about the reasons that caused them to behave in that way and then taking steps further could be another thing? Maybe talking it out with the person could help you understand their behavior in a better way and maybe that could make it clear if it's a misunderstanding? Other than that a lot of people consider taking a step back and recognizing whom they need most, this could also be called ending the friendship if you find it toxic but in some cases you may not want to lose contact with the person and want to understand their side as well which is a good thing but if it's affecting you a bit much then there's nothing wrong in taking a break and talking to the person once you feel it's alright to do so. Also to add on, make sure that it's not your fault that they are behaving in such manner with you so please make sure to not to blame yourself for anything and to take care of yourself while marking your steps ahead!

Be Honest But Gentle, Tough but fair make a list of what good things this friend has done or been for you VS Bad Things

You should speak to your friend if she is being really negative towards you and tell her how you feel. You shouldnt have to put up with people who put you down. If she continues to be like this, you should seriously consider finding a new friend who supports you in all that you do!!

Sometimes people get themselves into a negative pattern and sometimes I think if things aren't going well for them they start to take it out on you. I do sometimes think that being positive can attract the negative in people and I am not really sure why. This day and age it feels that people thrive on negative things. One reason I think people can be negative all the time is, well it sounds funny but humans are naturally problem solvers and when everything is positive and going well, there is no problem to solve. But I do also think that people don't always realize they are being negative.

Sit down together and discuss how he or she is making you feel tell them that this is becoming an issue maybe bring it into conversation when you feel that the time is right. I am sorry that your going through this though. Maybe do something go out somewhere or even sit down and have a cup of tea and discuss how your feeling if there a good friend to you and you mean something to them then I do not think it will be a problem. I can understand how your friend being negative all the time could effect you it cant be easy I do hope that you get this issue sorted.

If he/she is your friend that means you share a good relation. There must be some reason they are acting negative towards you. You can talk to them about this matter. You can ask them "what makes them feel Negative about you?". There might be some misunderstanding, or you can explain things better to them. If there is something wrong on which you both can work together. Hope it helps, best of luck!

First, think of any reason as to why they would be mad at you. Still no clue? Confront them and ask.

Talk to your friend and ask them why. They may be going through some things at the moment. However, if things do not change and it’s making you feel horrible and unhappy, then you should end the friendship. It’s not a healthy friendship if it makes you miserable.

You can choose to confront them about it and ask if you did something wrong or if they're going through something in their life. Sometimes the problem may not be you, but perhaps they're projecting their negativity towards you because they're going through something that they're not comfortable sharing with you directly. This is an unhealthy method of channeling their negative energy, so maybe consider asking them about it.

setting boundaries is the best thing to learn when it comes to negative people. It can be hard at first and takes a couple tries but after you get it it is great. sometimes if the friend doesnt understand, They will be a little shocked unfortuantly if that is the case then they were more then likely never a friend to begin with. also telling them how you feel is a great way to overcome fear. fear can sometimes be driven when we dont want to hurt the other persons feelings. at the end of the day we want to make sure that we come first

We all have different personalities and therefore our perceptions of events and behaviours may vary. Your friend may not be aware of the effect of their behaviour on you. If this relationship is really important to you try explaining how you feel to them. If you notice an improvement then you can use that to decide where your friendship stands. If this person continues to treat you badly then you may have to consider if their presence in your life as a friend is offering you what you are really looking for. You can get some advice on how best to approach the situation by speaking to a professional.

I would not have a person that is negative in my friend circle. Even if that mean creating a new circle. No one has time for that. Live and let live. Agree to disagree if that the only option in keeping the peace. Two negatives can never be positive. But if you continue to focus your life on the positive. The negative is lees affective.

It sounds like this person is taking quite the toxic toll on your life, and that's never a good thing! Toxic people can be quite cruel and damaging, however this is your friend so perhaps they do not even know how damaging their comments/actions are towards you. Perhaps you could talk to them and let them know that their comments are not welcome and that you do not need negativity in your life but would rather focus on the positives (In a kind way). Sometimes people don't think before they speak so they do not even know of the damage they cause, always voice your mind when you need something done/changed for the betterment of yourself. Peaceful wishes xx

Try asking your friend what is causing her/him to be negative around you. Clarify the situation and ask if it can be fixed. Find a solution.

I’ve been through something exactly like this before. I would try to give your friend some space to start with and try to see what the cause of this is. Surround yourself with positive people in life and if this person isn’t doing this you need to change who you’re talking to. Give it time as it heals most things

Find out what your friend is feeling about themselves. People are often negative towards aspects they see in others and that they feel strongly about. This may be because they see themselves reflected in this and feely upset about what they are being reminded about. Bullies' behaviour works to a similar system - they attack those they see are weaker because they see something familiar and are embarrassed of that aspect of their own personality. Compassion for your friend will allow you to ask what is wrong in your friend's life. You can support them through whatever difficulty they are experiencing and build a stronger bond with them.

You can talk to him/her about it. Maybe he/she doesn’t want to offend you or push you away. If you are at school or at work maybe they’re stressed.

People can project their negativity onto you, and make you feel as if you do not matter. Their attitudes towards you is a reflection of their character rather than your worth. We all need to protect your energy from the negativity and communicate our needs and feelings to those around us. No one truly knows you better than you know yourself. They may not realize how their words can negatively affect you. In loving friendships, both parties should be able to express their needs, concerns, and feelings without judgment. Please take care of your well-being first and foremost. You're loved.

You may have two options here: 1) If you like him/her, try to advice him/her about being more positive and knowing their mistakes. 2) if you don't really care about losing him/her, gradually stay away from them, it's for your own good.

If they're bringing you down, or not listening to you, don't share things with them anymore. Instead, watch them closely and they'll tell you what they're really up to.
