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

It's time to leave I think. Negativity is like Judgement too. Its also not showing acceptance to you, so why stay? I have same situation. I really have a friend who is negative about me, and being mentally ill its very hard but I am stupid to stay and still care about him. I hope you won't be like me. Give yourself freedom and invest on healthy friendships rather. And if we keep staying in toxic relationships what's the sense? Think firstly if it's worth to try and maybe sit down and talk to your friend about this and tell what you feel if your friend doesn't care its time to leave. You should make yourself matter first.

friends are here to help us and love us and support us. if your friend is being negitive and snobby towards you and not anyone else then chances are theyre the problem and not you. negativity stems from plenty of different things none which are good. hate, jelousy, envy, ect. find a new friend who enjoys your company. time is non replaceable to be carful who you give your time to. spending time with negitive people can change you into bad habits. you start being negitive towards your friends all because of this one person

Ignorance is bliss the best way forward here. Friends are for advice and comfort, if they are always negative, they aren't someone who should be kept in your life. I would personally avoid conflict, though confrontation is sometimes helpful - ignoring the issue is completely and absolutely fine in a situation like this. Friends have the ability to critique us, however if they are always negative - they can't truly be our friends, it is more suggestive that they may even be an enemy. However, I wouldn't describe them as this, they are most probably envious or even having trouble themselves.

You need to address this question with your friend because they might not think that they are being negative and there could be a possibility of misunderstanding. It would be helpful if you sit down with your friend and talk about this issue and how it is affecting you in a bad way. However if you feel like you are unable to talk to them alone, you can get another friend to help support you and be there for you since friends are supposed to be supportive and understanding. If the negative things are hurting you badly, you should remember that you shouldn't let other peoples' negativity bring you down.

I can really hear that you feel that your friend is not supporting you in the way you want to be supported. A respectful conversation and negotiating the terms of that friendship goes a long way if both parties decide to make it work. There are of course patterns and behavior’s that are toxic or hurtful and where a more strong-footed, clear-cut conversation can clear any misunderstandings. The main questions you can reflect on can be as follows: What do behavior’s and actions hurt you? What are your boundaries? Are you putting other people’s needs before your own too often? How in general do you resolve conflict? Are you wanting to give your friend another chance? Are you no longer wanting to be this person’s friend? You may want to reflect on your idea of what gaslighting is to you in terms of your relationship with your friend. Are you made to feel that you are too sensitive? Too stupid? Like what you say represents fantasy and not reality? If things have happened to the degree of gas-lighting slowly siphoning them out of your close circles may be something to consider. If keeping them out of your close circle is something you are unsure of or fear because you are worried about the reaction you will get ask yourself whether or not this friend has a positive influence on your mental health. If wanting further support please do not hesitate to communicate with one of our listeners or therapists online. Know that you have control over the decisions you make and it’s ok to tell people how you feel!

I can relate to this, because I'm that negative friend😃 (I'm not weird I swear :,) And to be honest, I am not negative towards anyone in particular, just because my personality is more emotional and I get negative thoughts quickly. Things I say and do might be weird to others and I understand that feeling. I would say, figure out if they are directly negative at you or their personality just seems like that. They my not be actually negative, there is a chance that they make jokes on negative things or they just come off as negative. I know that is possible because I am like that, I have negative thoughts or jokes that makes the situation less serious or stressful for people around me. But that doesn't mean I'm a negative person, I am actually pretty positive and supportive :)

Negativity from any source will overtake other aspects of your life. It is important to identify how they're being negative. Think of situations where they were negative and think of ways their actions could have been positive. After evaluating their negativity, think about how it has affected other aspects of your life. At this point it may be beneficial to confront your friend about it. Outline ways in which you've felt negativity from them and then try and propose positive ways they could behave towards you instead. If this doesn't work, do what you need to do to ensure you interact with them as little as possible. You don't need that negativity in your life. Surround yourself with positivity and people who live a positive lifestyle and will treat you the way you deserve to be treated.

I think that the best thing you could do is to tell them that you are bothered by their negative attitude toward you, and maybe talk it out. If the friend in question has issues, lashing out at others is not a healthy outlet, and you are definitely not at fault for any of it. On the other hand, if the friend ignores you and your request, it is safe to say that they are not such a good friend to you, and maybe it would be better to distance yourself, at least for a bit, in order to see how things progress. Take care!

Don't destroy yourself by allowing negative people to affect your positive personality. Negative as a person they may be, it is paramount – if not only for our own healthy and sanity – to resolve the situation in an intelligent and healthy way. First, don't let them get to you. Don't take anything they say personally. Create your own positive environment.The problem with taking things personally with a negative person is that it doesn’t lead anywhere. The only possible outcome is a perceived “victory,” that they’ve managed to “hook” you. Also, be compassionate towards your friend. Not every negative person intentionally acts negatively. For whatever reason, they’ve simply adopted a negative mindset. So you can just give them a compassionate ear and try to instill positivity in them, if they still continue to behave this way, you might as well stay away from them.

You deserve supportive and loving friends so surround yourself with such folks i know it may be hard at first but you need to let go of toxic people but first try consulting this friend try asking them their reasons for such behaviour towards explain them why it hurts you and why should they change it it is possible they do it without realising but once you make them realise and they still continue it its better to walk away from such people. And don't worry about people not liking you or ending up alone you will find people you truly deserve
