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

It is not that difficult to understand what to do when your friend is always negative to you. First you have to think about the role of the word "friend" in your life. Then try to understand how much you appreciate this person. However you do not need to be feel bad after all. If you decide to keep this person in your life be very careful and never take this negativeness for granted. If you think that you do not deaeevw such a negative behaviour gently and without a bad attitude try to keep a distance. Negativeness and stressful people can affect our mental health. Be careful.

Confront them and ask them why they have to be so negative to you all the time. Try not to argue but rather, stay calm. If they deny being so negative, then try recording a video or a voice memo of them when they are being so negative to you. Maybe ask another friend to listen in on conversations and see if they can hear negativity being told to you, if they do hear it, then ask them if they will help you confront the person again. If none of that works then tell the person you don’t want to hang out around them because you believe that they are being too negative to you whether they believe you or not.

Try to find out what's behind that attitude. Are they jealous of you for some reason? Do they have an inferiority complex where you're concerned? Or is it nothing to do with you per se but that they have something else in their life that's giving them these negative thoughts and feelings? Whatever of these may or may not apply, try to stay positive and offer them support and encouragement. See if you can make them feel better about themselves by boosting them when you can. Breaking the negative cycle is never easy, but if you can manage, you'll make two people happier, your friend and you.

I guess it is one of those situations where it is important to reflect and firstly when are those negatively happening? In a relationship it is a mutual exchange of ideas, time and emotions. The key factor is mutual benefit, if you are in a position where you feel that there is negatively and toxicity, then the person is unlikely to be acting in a way which is kind and loving and as many people would see as important in a friendship. You could sit down with the friend and tell them how you have found their behavior recently and that it is hurting you and ask if there is any reason why the behavior has changed.

I happen to receive this question often as well as lived this scenario multiple times. I don’t think there is an easy way to actually let someone close to you know how their words affect you. You’re afraid of the backlash and the answer they might give you, as well as the potential of them leaving. But the best thing to do in situations like these is to sit down with your friend in a private place, perhaps in the comfort of your own home. Start by saying “There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for awhile.” This gives you a chance to set the mood without having your friend already on the defensive side. Using “I feel...” statements allows you to communicate and express how you feel without accusing your friend of something. They might not even realize how they’re upsetting you or how negative they treat you. So by setting up a situation with “I feel...” statements, it allows both parties to express their feelings without the need for defensive statements.

I hear that you don’t know what to do with your friend that is always negative with you. Friendships can be tough in so many aspects. Has your friend always been negative to you? Has it progressively gotten worse? How does all of this make you feel? If I was your friend and came to you with the same experience, what is the advice you would give me? What are 3 different options that you could choose from? Which one of them do you feel would yield the best response? In what ways do you feel your friend affects your life?

If your friend is being negative to you, it sounds like that is not a healthy friendship. If it does not stop, you could confront your friend, and be honest about how their behavior makes you feel. Hopefully they will realize how their actions affect you, and possibly change their behavior. If they are not willing to work things out or still treat you badly, it may be time to end the friendship because at that point it is toxic, and no longer beneficial to you. Slowly back away, and find other friends to hang out with. Hopefully there will be no need for that, and hopefully they will start being kinder!

Talk to them using "I feel statements." For example, "I feel discouraged when I tell you an accomplishment and you respond by talking about something I have failed in the past." This helps to take away the "blame" on them and focuses on how their words make you feel. They may not even realize how their response is effecting you. You could even tell them how you would like them to respond the next time you share some good news. You could also, when they do say something positive, give them encouragement and tell them how nice it was to hear that from them!

First question yourself does he deserves you. Also you must know what exactly his intention to being negative towards you. If you get an answer that don't deserve that friend ,then just leave your friend and move on because when you constantly exposed to negativity it will effect your whole personality . Which is not good for you in long run. So open up this issue with that friend and be sure that your feeling is conveyed seriously. So when you start drawing boundaries that friend also comes to know where it's going wrong. Then depending upon your friends response you can decide the outcome

hi there! i know what you feel because i had a friend who was negative and bullying me. i didn't talk to her about it and i eased up on hanging out with her. when she would ask me why, i would say that i just needed to take a break from her. after that i stopped talking to her and ignored every bit of her. back then, i wish i didn't do that because it truly wrecked her relationship with me but now, i don't care. she was very toxic and i didn't want her in life anymore. while me cutting off her too soon was too toxic so i suggest that you talk to your friend and tell them how you feel and see if they change. if not, they aren't a good friend and doesn't deserve you. hope your journey goes well!
