When a friend frequently makes disparaging comments about their appearance, it can lead to anxiety for those around them. One way to address this is to reevaluate the necessity of the friendship. If it’s deemed unhelpful, consider distancing oneself. Alternatively, proposing positive affirmations can encourage a healthier discussion about self-image. It’s also beneficial to express concern about the impact of negative self-talk on personal feelings and discuss how to boost each other's confidence.
To protect yourself in a friendship where negative talk is common, evaluate if the friendship is beneficial and consider distancing yourself if necessary.
Suggesting positive actions, like affirmations, can lead to a constructive dialogue about self-image and support in relationships.
