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

1. Identify why your friend is behaving that way. 2. If you find out a cause, try to communicate to them about it, 3. If there is no cause or particular reason, it is best you do what will ensure your good well-being. Even if it involves maintaining a distance from your friend, do that. It will help them realize that their behaviour towards you is not justified. I would recommend you to draw boundaries and do not let anybody; be it friend or relative, to invade that. You deserve to be loved, appreciated and valued. People who treat you otherwise do not recognize your worth. Hence, it is better to draw boundaries.

Their behave comes across as toxic . Would you consider talking to them about it and See how they react ? If they are understanding, they might not realize what they are doing. Tell them how you want to be treated. See if they respect you. If they get defensive or start gaslighting you, that could be a sign to keep a bit of a distance. There are some narcissistic people out there, who are very charming but don't care about anyone other than themselves. They use people. If your friend fits this description it might be time to move on. But talk to your friend, they might not know what they are doing is wrong and maybe they would improve. In case they are really being negative, you are probably better off them.

I think that as friends, you should have a level of freedom to express yourselves to each other. You have as much right as they do to express what you feel too. So have a talk with them. Tell them what and why it is annoying you. Maybe they do it without knowing that it affects you. If you feel ignored or looked down upon then it would be time for you to move on, regardless. Your mental well being is of a lot of importance and nobody deserves a jerk for a friend. Cut them off and seek better company.

Tell them how you feel, it is important to let them know that their words can be hurtful even if they are not meant to. If they still keep on doing it, after you told them it is better if you decrease the interactions with that person, it is hard to leave someone you consider your friend, but you should put yourself and your wellness first. I can asure you that you will be able to have better relationships once you have learned how these interactions should be like. People can have hard days sometimes but doesn't give them right to treat other people bad

If then being negative towards you makes you feel something you should tell them. Just simply say hey I don’t like how your always so negative. Along with telling them that you should tell them the exact things you don’t like when their being negative. If they don’t like the fact you said that to them then it would be best to take a break from that person for a while until you feel like you can face them once again. If the situation doesn’t get better and starts to affect you even more try and find a different friend to hang out with more.

Perhaps she is jealous of the person you are! Live your best life and ignore the negativity. If it gets too much you can always be honest and ask her why she does this and how it makes you feel. Personally, I believe she/he is not a true friend if they are constantly putting you down, they should be happy to see you accomplish things in life and love to see you strive, they should also be pushing you to always bring out the best in yourself. You do what you think is best, hope it all works out in the end.

If you consider her as a good friend and a caring one and i Know that you know the answer of this question because you just need one minute to answer it than tell her that if she is doing that without her awareness than she should stop because you don't like that... so if she is a real friend she will understand you and you will have a nice conversation with her about that ....but if she is not a friend you deserve than the situation gonna be different. Anyway from my personal experience with friends i know that being with someone negative is something really toxic that's will drain your energy and your positivity and it's better be alone than being with someone eating your personality alive .

I truly believe that a genuine friend is someone that makes you feel comfortable and uplifts you as an individual. I also have a similar experience as what you are having, and it took me a long time to walk away from negative people I use to consider as friends. I know that its very hard to just walk away and put aside all of the memories and friendships you have found with that friend of yours. But I would like to remind you that, in the long term run, it would heavily drain and you may risk losing yourself and your positiveness as an individual. I would just like to remind you that this life of ours is so precious and there is more to life than we think there is and I firmly believe that being alone in your positiveness is more ideal for your mental health instead of being with people who brings you down and makes your feel unwanted.

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!

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.
