When people are talking about negative things behind your back, what will you do? How do you know if they're talking about you? Is it about how they whisper in front you, how they stare at you or what? Share your stories and reactions here. Thank you.

[i]Hi nengs, I haven't tried in a situation like this but if ever people around me are talking about my life, I will not ruin my day by taking care of it as long as they are not insulting me, but once they will insult and hurt me by telling lies, I will confront them and advise them to mind their own business![/i]

I handle it with the "Don't Give a Crap" attitude. So what if someone doesn't like you. They are the ones wasting their time and energy being upset or sharing gossip. I have several situations where the whole town knew everything about me before I did. I got ugly looks, stares, and rude comments. I just said whatever and went on. It's my opinion of myself that matters not everyone elses. I'm the one that decides how somethings going to affect me and my feelings. I have better things to do than worry that someone might say something hurtful or rude. What goes around comes around 10 fold. This is just how I am. Thanks for sharing, Great topic!!

when i was in college, one of our clinical supervisors courted me, and we dated once or twice. this clinical supervisor is a hearthrob and too many girls wanted to be in my shoes. way back then, i have a boyfriend so this really cause some raising eyebrows, lotsa whispering and staring....we have a small college with a big Mouth. They talked about seeing us having dinner, they talked about how that would affect my internship....I know what i did was terrible but my bf knows about that date so i dont care about what they think. They can talk all they want. so i can say, i handled all of gossiping & rumors about us pretty well. anyways, it was just a date. i still ended up marrying my boyfriend and we're so happy with our lives now.

I dont really care when people are talking about me. I just let them. I just use it to my advantage whether it be bad or good publicity. If somebody asks me if its true or not,then I answer them honestly. How do you know? If somebody actaully shares it with you. Its not good to conclude that someone is talking about you just by the way they act like whispering and the way they stare at you. You might be wrong.
