You can choose to confront them about it and ask if you did something wrong or if they're going through something in their life. Sometimes the problem may not be you, but perhaps they're projecting their negativity towards you because they're going through something that they're not comfortable sharing with you directly. This is an unhealthy method of channeling their negative energy, so maybe consider asking them about it.

Talk to your friend and ask them why. They may be going through some things at the moment. However, if things do not change and it’s making you feel horrible and unhappy, then you should end the friendship. It’s not a healthy friendship if it makes you miserable.

First, think of any reason as to why they would be mad at you. Still no clue? Confront them and ask.

If he/she is your friend that means you share a good relation. There must be some reason they are acting negative towards you. You can talk to them about this matter. You can ask them "what makes them feel Negative about you?". There might be some misunderstanding, or you can explain things better to them. If there is something wrong on which you both can work together. Hope it helps, best of luck!

You should speak to your friend if she is being really negative towards you and tell her how you feel. You shouldnt have to put up with people who put you down. If she continues to be like this, you should seriously consider finding a new friend who supports you in all that you do!!

Try writing a letter to them explaining how it makes you feel, that way you have complete control in what you say since it is pre-planned.

You can ask your friend the reason for her behavior to better understand her and each situation separately.

I take it in a positive way and make him positive towards me. I will also make him known of it precisely how mean it is, after that if he changes its a good thing, If he doesn't changes then its time to change him I guess.

nobody has the right to be negative towards you, no matter what. try and look at your boundaries and work towards communicating with your friend as to how it is hurting you. if they stop (for good), they have empathy and are listening to you. if not, i'd suggest you find a way to make another friend. while i understand it's a hard hitting answer, it would be the best possible method for you until you rebuild your boundaries :-)
