What do you do when someone always has something negative to say every time you say something?

I stop communicating with them. My paternal grandmother is like that. Always judgmental and negative about everything. Can never be happy for me. I just stopped telling her things after a while. She asks how I’m doing, I say “I’m ok”. She asks what I’ve been doing lately, I say “not much”, or “the usual”. I don’t go into any detail about anything with her anymore. It’s not worth my time or energy when I know she’ll just put a negative twist on anything.

Be annoyingly positive continuously! :D

Seriously, either it will turn them around and make their day, or annoy the crap out of them because they are desperate to be miserable. Win-win.

Though, if they are saying "true" stuff that's negative, work with them on it, find the other view point to counter theirs which is also true.

enjoy it, if they are always trying to belittle you, that just shows how much they are jealous of you, and trying to find any way to look better than you

A bright mind, perhaps...
Negativity often is a positive thing :)

Nothing. I wouldn't waste my time on them!

Laugh at their pathetic and insecure self
