You should try and talk to them about your feelings. Maybe they didn't realise that they are so negative and if you tell them they will change. If this doesn't work then maybe you should show them an example of being more positive toward them and see if they change too.

Two things you might be able to try out, one maybe ask him/her the reason of why they're always negative around you and maybe that'll help clearing things up, or sometimes people might be negative due to their nature or maybe they've been through something very rough so it may not exactly be only toward you always. Either ways, communication is probably the best way to find out and reach a mutual understanding maybe, the rest is up to you :)

If they are indeed your friend let them know how you feel about that neagtivity. Friends tend to be harsh towards other friends they care about but you can still express to them how it makes you feel.

Try getting a new friend, or maybe (if you really want to be in a friendship w/ them) try figuring out why they might be behaving towards you in a negative way.

Try talking to your friend. See why they're doing that, and express how it makes you feel. If it gets too bad, then maybe that friendship isn't healthy anymore for you, and it might be time to look more towards other friends rather than keep someone like that in your life and give them so much power over you.

Talk to him or her. Chances are that they are dealing with stresses in life that are affecting their mood and attitude towards other things in their life. Be a friend for them. If they prove that they are not worth it, then remove the friendship from your life.

People always have opinions. They will judge you no matter what. Even if you are friends with them or stranger. So negativity is always there. You can stop your friends at some point, But when they simply can not stop being negative towards you then be positive yourself. Try ignoring their negative thoughts, If you can not then give your positive thought.

If your friend is making you feel negative and acting negatively towards you, you may want to reconsider if this person is REALLY your friend. A friend is someone who will support you and make you feel happy, someone who you can turn to for help and advice and chill out with, not someone who will spread negative vibes and put you down!

I try to ignore certain moments and see all that the person did good for me. But all has a limit. If they repeat it more times, I would try to stay distant and let them understand alone. And if they ask for explanations I would give it to them kindly.

Communication is always the best option. Tell them how you feel and if they continuously return to being negative then you ought to consider whether their friendship really means that much to you that you're willing to take that negativity on board.
