Ignore him. Because if you friend thinks wrong about you, you will feel bad. Feeling bad because of someone else is not helpful.

Maybe you should talk to your friend in private, ask if there is anything wrong, and ask if there is anything you can do to make things better?

You can try telling them how they're making you feel. Tell them as it is a problem you want to get rid of rather than as a personal attack towards your friend.

Your friend may be struggling with an issue their self. Try asking your friend if anything is wrong and if they need some help.

Sometimes people act out in ways that they don't necessarily identify as being unhealthy or negative or don't realize they are acting out in such ways. Your friend needs support, compassion and to know that you will be there when he or she is ready to open up about what is causing this behavior towards you.

Sometimes when others are negative towards you, it's because something within them is not sitting right. The best way to go about such a situation is to talk about it with them.

I think that you should take her aside and ask her what's bothering her. It could be something at home that's making her act negatively. Perhaps she just needs somebody to talk to.

Tell them that it bothers you. If they continue to discredit your feelings after expressing them VERY clearly, I'd stop being their friend. You don't need negativity in your life when you run into enough on your own.

Talk to them. Seems like a useless answer, but that's honestly the best thing you can do. It's possible that they don't even realize that they're being negative, or they don't realize that it's hurting you. Talk to them, and if that doesn't work, figure out a way to reduce the negativity, whether it be spending less time with that friend, or just being ridiculously positive whenever you talk to them, or something else.

You do not need negative people surrounding you or negativity overall. This 'friend' is not really your friend. Warn this friend about their behavior and if it is repeated then it is time for getting a new friend who will bring you up instead of being negative towards you.
