Talk to them about how you feel. Let them know their negativity isn’t making you happy. Ask them why they are always negative towards you and see where the conversation takes you without. It doesn’t have to lead to a argument. Communication is key.

Ask them why they are always mean and negative to you. Either that or decide they are not a good friend and move on.

Your friend might be having a rough time. Tell your friend what's wrong and tell them that you will be there for them

How many times have you heard the adage, "Birds of a feather flock together"? If you are at least 25 years old you have probably heard that phrase more times than you can count. So why is that phrase repeated so much? Well, because its true! Have you ever been judged because of who you associate with? For example, have you ever been called gay because you have gay friends? That is something that many of my friends and co-workers face on a regular basis. Keeping these thoughts, and especially your answers in mind, what DO you do when your friend is always negative? You make the conscious, moment to moment decision to be a positive, loving, genuine person. Notice, I said person, NOT friend! I want you to think about this distinction, what does it mean? It means that when we choose to be positive, when we choose to be loving, sometimes, we choose to leave our negative friends behind as we move forward in our lives! I am not telling you to get rid of your friends, or to stop talking to every single person who ever says anything negative. However, I am saying that when we behavior differently, we force those around us to behave differently towards us. Your friend will be forced to respond differently when you no longer give into his or her negativity. Your friend will be forced to respond differently when you no longer cry, shut down, or act out in response to their negativity. Simply by being the happier, healthier version of you, your negative friends, family members, co-workers, and peers will be FORCED to respond and thus behave differently. How incredible would it feel to wake up excited about the day? How incredible would it feel to recognize the beauty of the world instead of the misery? So much of this is a choice that you can make each and every moment. I want that for you! Birds of a feather right... Come fly with me! Change your moment to moment thoughts and I guarantee that your friends will change too. Need help making that happen? Don't believe its possible for you? Send me a message, I will help you reach the stars!

well, why not try to speak with your friend and resolve the problem, if she doesn't stop maybe start talk to other people and make new friends that are nicer.

Tell your friend how you feel. Friends are supposed to be there for you, they are supposed to help you, and be positive around you. If they don't wanna change or be someone that makes a positive vibe around you, you don't need them.

If they're always being negative around you, then they don't deserve you. You deserve someone who will be there for you and support you through the hard times.

You should tell her how you feel and also tell her that the way she acts towards you is making you feel unhappy. If she continues acting this way, you shouldn't be friends with her anymore, since it looks like you're in a toxic friendship.

Negative peer affects us more than we realise. They affect our self esteem and in order to please them, we do things which we don't want to do. So it's better to have no friends than to have friends that are worse than enemies.

i have negative friends personally and i try to be a positive influence on their life. show them that life is much better when you can be positive because pouring negativity and spilling it everywhere also effects the people around us. we dont know what type of day someone is having a flashing a smile at someone could possibly brighten their whole day and all you had to do was smile. nobody wants to be around a negative person, just showing them how much more fun it is to be positive then negative usually works for me
