How to handle rude friends?

Lately I broke up with a bf type guy. I was kind of in a slump and pretty sad. I was really upset and made some mistakes that I regret. I have 2 best friends but recently they have started acting rude. They constantly bring up the mistakes I made and dwell on them. One of them constantly comments negatively about everything. No matter what it is she has to say something bad even if I tell her it upsets me. How am I supposed to handle these friends? I still love them but I don't want them to be so negative!

    a year or so ago i ended my friendship with two friends of mine. I'm a teen male and i had two neighbors that were of my age but girls. i just noticed that they would over react way more then my guy friends. they would also try to bring me down constantly, i'm the youngest of 3 and i have 2 older brothers and they both are models. i did not get the good looking gene. but the two girls would always tell me that my parents made a mistake having me since i'm ugly and that they got 2 out of 3 kids right and all this other stuff. i ended up having to go to therapy because they tore me down so bad and made me feel i would never look close enough to being remotely cute. But i was use to hanging with dudes my whole life so i wasn't use to being criticized like that. how i handled my situation was by leaving them and proving to them that they cant bring me down. i cant say they are my friends anymore but if one were to die or something yeah i would probably cry but if one broke their arm i would just say karma's a *****. how ever one last thing, i did notice when ever they would be having a "bad hair day" or break out is when they would make fun of me the most and point out my flaws. Hopefully your friends do not treat you the way my ex friends did. And everyone makes mistakes, its part of being human.

    They're grilling you for being a bit of a slut huh? Go ahead, say it. You were upset about your ex and you acted like a slut after the relationship. Your friends are trying to be your conscience. If they don't grill you and make you feel bad, they think it's in your character to do it again. Maybe they're right, maybe they're not. Either way just let it die and fade out.

    If youre good enough friends you should be able to let them know that the things they bring up really upset you. people react to realtionships ending in different ways so do what you gotta do to try and move on. if you let them know and they still bring it up, sorry to say but it might be time to look for new friends

    Seems like your friends needs some space. Love them of course but negative and positive do not mix.

    Communication is everything for any kind of relationship or friendship to last. You have to tell them exactly how you feel about their behavior. See how they react. Take steps from there on if their friendship is worth their negative attitudes.
