Negative and positive depends on how you perceive things in your mind. Accept whatever he says and take a look at it from a different perspective. Always challenge yourself to be positive towards you and others around you. Always stay clear with a positive mindset and you will attract positive things in to your life. Do not try to correct him or point out that he is always negative towards you but changing your mindset and perspective is what you got to do. This will work.

If your friend is being negative, Sit down and have a talk with you friend on how you feel when they become negative around you. Figure out what is bothering them, if nothing is bothering them, be respectful and kindly say that you dislike how they are being towards you! If they get upset, let them get upset, but stay calm and have a calm tone that your not wanting to cause an Argument your just wondering why your friend is being like that towards you. If that doesn't work, then they obviously don't care about how you feel as a person.

It can be difficult knowing why a friend is negative towards you, you may never know. They may be going through something difficult and find themselves taking it out on you, or they may be subconsciously reflecting how you feel. There is no right or wrong answer in how to deal with this but it is not something that should be left to fester. Explore how you feel and explore the options on how to move forward.

It is important to communicate this issue with your friend, approaching them with curiosity rather than accusation. Allow them a chance to hear what you have been experiencing from them, and see if any resolutions can be made. If not, it may be time to re-evaluate the friendships in your life and see who falls into a category of toxic and healthy in the friend category.

Talk to them. Ask them why are they always so negative and find out if there's a particular reason or if they have something bothering them and they don't know another way to cope with it. You can also ask them to be more positive because negativity is never a good thing. If they disregard all of that and your request for them to be more positive then you can consider stopping the friendship.

I think the best way is to try and talk to them. Being straight-forward avoids misunderstanding and confusion. It may not be you- it could also be something going on in their life. Talking to them could deepen your friendship and help your friend to open up more on what's going on.

Try to sit and talk with your friend, tell her how you feel about what she does. How her actions make you feel a time of way.

Confront them about how you feel with their behavior towards you. If they don't accept, leave them.

Well start by telling them that their negative behavior towards you is unacceptable & is causing you a lot upsets, If you cant confront them directly perhaps write them a letter if either options don't work sadly its probably best to say your Goodbyes to your friend & move onto to friends that really respect & encourage you rather acting negative towards you!

Try to talk to them about their negativity and why they're doing it. Listen and don't speak while they're talking to you. Tell them you understand why they're negative, and try to change for the better.
