How do you deal with people who constantly have negative comments to say to you?

You can go about this in two ways: 1. Communicate with them that the negative comments are hurting you and to ask them to stop (hopefully they also apologize). 2. End the relationship that person. You don't need negativity in your life. It only adds pressure and unnecessary stress to you mentally and psychologically. Those who always have negative things to say are, most of the time, the ones who are hurting the most and so they need to find a way to let out that negativity by putting that pressure on other people. It's their way to let it out. Of course, this is not the right thing to do because it can affect people like you. Hope this helped!

You have all the options under the sun. But try to figure out which one benefits you the most. Nobody likes painful comments, and so the emotional discomfort that follows can make it difficult to navigate decisions around that experience. Many people will say that it's not necessary to associate with such a person, and I'd say that's an extremely viable option (probably the best one). But, we can't be so sure. Maybe you'd like to consider setting a hard and heavy boundary or discussing this person's behavior and see what happens? Does this person know how they are affecting you? What do you normally do when this happens? What have your reactions been like? If you've tried setting boundaries, or are not yet able to, or this person just steamrolls over the ones you do set and maintain, or is just not a pleasant person overall (unkind and judgmental), maybe it's not a bad idea to consider focusing your energy on other friends! Hopefully, these thoughts offer you something.
