If you feel hurt by the way they act negatively towards you, talk to them about it, either face to face or online, whatever you feel comfortable with. Tell them about how specific instances they acted towards you were negative and tell them how you felt as a result. Provided they value your friendship they will understand and take your feelings into consideration. If they dismiss what you say and continue acting negatively towards you, find out why. Depending on their answer it may be a better option to move on from their friendship.

If they're bringing you down, or not listening to you, don't share things with them anymore. Instead, watch them closely and they'll tell you what they're really up to.

You may have two options here: 1) If you like him/her, try to advice him/her about being more positive and knowing their mistakes. 2) if you don't really care about losing him/her, gradually stay away from them, it's for your own good.

You should have a talk with him/her and tell them how you feel. They may change their attitude and if not, it is ok to let your parents know.

you need to get out of that relationship. the friendship is bad for you and it is toxic. it will only make you feel worse about yourself and make you feel as if you did something wrong, which you didnt.

Letting go of a friend can be scary but there is no need to be around someone who brings you down constantly. You will always meet new people in life. Sometimes letting go of a negative friend can be a breath of fresh air.

No one deserves to have someone be negative towards them and it isn’t right. Is there any reason why your friend is negative to you specifically? It could be that your friend is going through some difficulties and handling it badly, but that doesn’t excuse the negativity. One way to solve this problem is to ask your friend directly, and solve it directly. However, negative comments can lower your self esteem, so hanging around with other friends can help, as you will be shown appreciation and won’t have such negativity directed towards you. The main thing is to not let the comments get to you. It’s really easy for a small insult to hurt you, but the important thing is to not let it get to you. If you can’t fix things with that friend, you need to remember that such negativity isn’t nice to be around, and no one deserves that.

IF you’re friend is negative towards you , she / he is not a real friend . You have to distance your self from them if you think that’s not going to work you can just talk to them and tell them how you feel and if they don’t seem to care just stop being friends with them and keep moving on about your life , friends aren’t always the answer they can become distractions and many more

You should speak to your friend about this situation because no one deserves a friend like that. If the friend doesn't listen and continues to treat you negatively maybe its best you's don't stay friends
