Remove these people from your life. Keep only positive friends around you as it empowers you having them around. Negative ones are there to pull you down and affects your mood or the way you work. It is best to remove them from your life. Plus a friend is supposed to be supportive, not picking on your mistakes and discouraging.

She/he might have something upsetting going on in her life, offer her your support. She might not even realise how shes/hes making you feel.

If this friend is always negative towards you, maybe it is best to distance yourself from them. You could also try asking politely if they could change their behavior towards you.

That can be a frustrating situation, someone who you feel is close to you can have a big influence on your future and you don’t want negativeity to allow you to not function in a variety of areas. Relationships are two sided so both people should benefit from interacting. You could say something to the other person to let them know how you feel, for example:we have been friends for awhile now but lately I have felt like you haven’t treated me like a friend. Or I feel like you don’t treat me with respect and that hurts my feelings, etc. (it often helps to say statements in the format: I feel like... because)It may be hard to confront this problem as you don’t know how the other person will act or what they will say, or if they won’t be your friend anymore, probably worse case cenrio. But you can hopefully find better friends, not all people are bad,or you may find that your friend was unaware of how you felt and how they were treating you and then they may try to make amends, but if a relationship really is abusive then you should not let that impact your life for the worst. You shouldn’t feel anxious all the time, so I’m the mist of life I hope you find happiness.

Calmly talk to her and say you don’t want to be friends with her if she keeps acting like this. Try to stay calm while saying this so your friend stays calm. If they get mad just stop talking to them and give them their space.

You can talk to him/her about it. Maybe he/she doesn’t want to offend you or push you away. If you are at school or at work maybe they’re stressed.

I’ve been through something exactly like this before. I would try to give your friend some space to start with and try to see what the cause of this is. Surround yourself with positive people in life and if this person isn’t doing this you need to change who you’re talking to. Give it time as it heals most things

Try asking your friend what is causing her/him to be negative around you. Clarify the situation and ask if it can be fixed. Find a solution.

It sounds like this person is taking quite the toxic toll on your life, and that's never a good thing! Toxic people can be quite cruel and damaging, however this is your friend so perhaps they do not even know how damaging their comments/actions are towards you. Perhaps you could talk to them and let them know that their comments are not welcome and that you do not need negativity in your life but would rather focus on the positives (In a kind way). Sometimes people don't think before they speak so they do not even know of the damage they cause, always voice your mind when you need something done/changed for the betterment of yourself. Peaceful wishes xx

I would not have a person that is negative in my friend circle. Even if that mean creating a new circle. No one has time for that. Live and let live. Agree to disagree if that the only option in keeping the peace. Two negatives can never be positive. But if you continue to focus your life on the positive. The negative is lees affective.
