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

First and foremost if you have the courage speak to your friend about how that makes you feel when he is being negative towards you. Be polite, clear and honest. Tell your friend that you want to be on a good terms and don't want anything to jeopardise your friendship, especially the smallest matters to stand in a way of that. Hopefully they appreciate your honesty and the fact that you've shown that you value your friendship might help them understand that his ways in relation to you wasn't going to benefit either of you, and it's best to communicate any concerns or problems straightaway before things escalate further in the wrong direction.

Ask if you did anything to upset them, and if not, if there's something going on. They might just need to tell to someone about something that's going on.

If a person is being negative towards you. Try to see it this way; maybe they are having their own unresolved issues that they can't deal with and are trying to project their fears onto you? At times we find it difficult to work with our own emotions and we identify them easily in others. So talk with the person and try to understand the reason behind it. There's a high possibility that it has nothing to do with you and they are just having a hard time.

It is hard to be around negative, sour people. The first step is not to take their criticisms personally. Our inner emotions get expressed and reflected to those around us. So if we are unhappy, we tend to try to bring others down to be miserable with us. It's not intentional and we sometimes don't even recognize that we do it. Once you see that your friend's negativity is coming from how they feel inside, you can address them with more compassion. You can hear what they say and let it not get you down, because they are speaking more about how others make them feel. You can try to diffuse the tension by asking them to reflect more on themselves and their strengths rather than hyper focusing on you. It can be tiring sometimes to continually build friends up, so don't feel bad if you just need some time away too.

If your friend is acting mean or rude towards you, chances are they do not have your best interests at heart. As hard as it may be to admit, they are not a true friend and if spending time with that person does not make you happy, the best thing would be to stop spending time with them. However, I do recommend that you attempt speaking with them about the issue first, as something may be going on in their life which is causing them to act this way. Sit down with them, ask them why they are acting like this towards you, tell them how you feel about their behavior, and if they cannot provide a good reason for their negative behavior then it may be time to cut ties.

In this situation, it might seem like your friend really dislikes or just wants to make you mad. However, it has been my experience that friends don't realize how hurtful some of the things they say can be. After all, we're friends and friends don't dislike each other, right? The best thing to do in this situation is to not get mad at your friend or assume they are out to get you. You should stay calm and talk with them about how their actions are making you feel. Any good friend will listen to you and care about what you say. Good luck!

Talk to them about it. If you already have, perhaps hang out with new people until they aren't so negative

You could try to find out the reason behind it. If somehow there is a problem, you could try to solve it together with your friend. If it's too difficult, you can find a third party to help you solve it. Eventually, you still can show your positive sides to your friend.

First maybe try and help them to see what's wrong. Friends are meant to bring you up not make you feel down and when someone is very unhappy with themselves and their own life, they tend to take it out on others close to them, especially if they feel that they are happier or more successful than themselves. For many insecure people, bringing you down is the only way they can elevate themselves. Try to ask your friend what's wrong and offer to help them. if that doesn't work and they are still treating you bad for no good reason then its time to cut them off

In the course of a persons life, you will meet many people who are not positive. It's an unchangeable reality for many people to experience this. The only thing you can do is change the way you perceive their negativity by understanding why they do this. Maybe they had an abusive childhood, or were put down by their teachers. Asking questions is the root of understanding.

Talk to them about how you feel. Let them know their negativity isn’t making you happy. Ask them why they are always negative towards you and see where the conversation takes you without. It doesn’t have to lead to a argument. Communication is key.

Ask them why they are always mean and negative to you. Either that or decide they are not a good friend and move on.

Your friend might be having a rough time. Tell your friend what's wrong and tell them that you will be there for them

How many times have you heard the adage, "Birds of a feather flock together"? If you are at least 25 years old you have probably heard that phrase more times than you can count. So why is that phrase repeated so much? Well, because its true! Have you ever been judged because of who you associate with? For example, have you ever been called gay because you have gay friends? That is something that many of my friends and co-workers face on a regular basis. Keeping these thoughts, and especially your answers in mind, what DO you do when your friend is always negative? You make the conscious, moment to moment decision to be a positive, loving, genuine person. Notice, I said person, NOT friend! I want you to think about this distinction, what does it mean? It means that when we choose to be positive, when we choose to be loving, sometimes, we choose to leave our negative friends behind as we move forward in our lives! I am not telling you to get rid of your friends, or to stop talking to every single person who ever says anything negative. However, I am saying that when we behavior differently, we force those around us to behave differently towards us. Your friend will be forced to respond differently when you no longer give into his or her negativity. Your friend will be forced to respond differently when you no longer cry, shut down, or act out in response to their negativity. Simply by being the happier, healthier version of you, your negative friends, family members, co-workers, and peers will be FORCED to respond and thus behave differently. How incredible would it feel to wake up excited about the day? How incredible would it feel to recognize the beauty of the world instead of the misery? So much of this is a choice that you can make each and every moment. I want that for you! Birds of a feather right... Come fly with me! Change your moment to moment thoughts and I guarantee that your friends will change too. Need help making that happen? Don't believe its possible for you? Send me a message, I will help you reach the stars!

well, why not try to speak with your friend and resolve the problem, if she doesn't stop maybe start talk to other people and make new friends that are nicer.

Tell your friend how you feel. Friends are supposed to be there for you, they are supposed to help you, and be positive around you. If they don't wanna change or be someone that makes a positive vibe around you, you don't need them.

If they're always being negative around you, then they don't deserve you. You deserve someone who will be there for you and support you through the hard times.

You should tell her how you feel and also tell her that the way she acts towards you is making you feel unhappy. If she continues acting this way, you shouldn't be friends with her anymore, since it looks like you're in a toxic friendship.

Negative peer affects us more than we realise. They affect our self esteem and in order to please them, we do things which we don't want to do. So it's better to have no friends than to have friends that are worse than enemies.

i have negative friends personally and i try to be a positive influence on their life. show them that life is much better when you can be positive because pouring negativity and spilling it everywhere also effects the people around us. we dont know what type of day someone is having a flashing a smile at someone could possibly brighten their whole day and all you had to do was smile. nobody wants to be around a negative person, just showing them how much more fun it is to be positive then negative usually works for me

Ask him why he's so negative towards you. The only person who knows what's going on is your friend.

The best thing to do is let them go.Never be friends with people who are toxic,and cause negativity in your life.Don't be best friends,or in a relationship with them, because it is very hard to deal with people like that!Or,if you already are best friends,or in a relationship,let me say something. One:The blame is on you the whole time,isn't it? Two:So,imagine you are having a fight with them.You say what you think,and they,of course,don't agree.The best thing to do,is to agreement.You need to pretend to agree with them,and act as if you were really the one that is wrong,and ''apologize''.Say something like:,,I now know,how bad I really am for you,so let's just not be best friends/in a relationship anymore.I'm really sorry that you had to deal with a bad person like me,and I really hope that you will find a better person for yourself.Sorry for everything i've done,and I really,really hope that you will find someone that is perfect for you''.This might sound wrong,but it may help you. Three:So,if the previous one worked,bravo!And if it didn't,get ready to do one of the hardest things in life:Let go.So,you need to avoid contact with them,and maybe even block them on social media.They will surely say:,,Why are you ignoring me?I'm your bff/boyfriend/girlfriend!''And what you need to say is something like:,,Well,I'vebeen thinking for a while,and I think that I am not the right person for you.I've done some really bad mistakes,and I wanted to say:I'm very sorry,and I think you really deserve a better person than me,and should see other people'' Four:They might want to come back to you,and what you need to do,is act normal,but don't act as if you were vlose.Act like your just friends.Or if you don't want to be friends with them,ignore them,and avoid being in the same friend group as them,because it will be more difficult.If the friend group they are in are your only friends,try finding other friends that might be right for you.And,if it's hard for you to find other friends,don't worry,you will find other people,there are 7 billion people in the world. And that's it!I hope this helped,and if it didn't,don't worry,:Everything ends good.If it's not good,it's not the end!

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 more 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.”

I would ask why they are being negative. And tell them to stop. If they don’t stop I’d highly recommend to slowly stop hanging out with them. They can really make you feel bad about yourself. And that’s not okay.

I suggest you confront your friend and ask her/him as to why he/she shows negativity towards you as it may be because there's some misunderstanding between the two of you.

cut them off let them know how you feel they arn't your friend if the are mean and negative to you

1. First of all, stop calling that person a friend. 2. Make a list of negative points put forth by him/her. 3. Write down a remedy plan to correct only first three and improve yourself. 4. Cross out the ones you've overcome by the next day/week. 5. Write down at least as many positive traits of your critic as many your negative points. 6. Thank that person for pointing out your shortcomings. 6. Post the negative list on your refrigerator and keep ensuring yourself it's good to have someone criticize you all the time.

Your friend shouldn't be negative towards you. Ask them kindly to stop being negative because it is hurting you and you do not like it.

Tell her this next time she's negative. You may also bring up negative things she has told you, which hurt you. Be calm, though! Use giraffe language to explain what you need from your friend, why you feel hurt, and suggest what they should do to act more positively? Or at least be aware they're potentially hurting your feelings!

I believe you should have a talk with her. Asking her why she's behaving like that and that you don't like it. If she still does it. I believe it's better if you'd not associate yourself with people who bring you down.
