I don't really care what other people think about me, but I do care what they said about me. Especially if they're making stories and lies about me, or what I did. Since there are lot of people who enjoy making assumptions and stories they hardly know. How about you, do you care what other people think and said about you? What do you usually do, with these people?

Hi careguarden, I thought I had a nice circle of friends, we would hang out and do all the stuff that friends normally do, it was not until I found out that they spread a rumor about me. I realized it was true because of a certain matter that some people were treating me. At the time, I didnt care what these people thought of me, the ones that were spreading the rumors around because I thought, their only words, they cant actually hurt me at all, and besides I know who my true friends are. Turns out I didnt have any true friends either, they were the ones that spread the rumor in the first place and to top it off, it was a lie. If someone saying something about me that was true, I would let it slide and laugh it up because of stupid stuff that I did for sure, but something that was cruel, meanhearted and inteded to hurt you? naaaah, I realized that I was hanging around with the wrong crowd and left the turkeys. I dont care what a person may think of me unless it is my closed loved ones like family or my husband, anyone outside that circle if it isnt professional I could care less. And as for saying something, I dont socialize much anymore, that kinda solved the problem, but if that were to happen now, it would depend, if its something serious, confront the person, if not, let it slide, no biggie to worry about stuff like that. Happy My Lotting

Oh, that was too bad. Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people. They don't deserve you. I'd also encountered that kind of people, but as early as possible I left their group. I'm a bit observant, and when I found out what they did to one of their friends before I came in to their circles, I immediately exit to their group and never hang our with them. So it's very important to get to know our friends, just to avoid being end up with troubles and hurt. Not socializing much could also help to avoid those unhealthy rumors. But I think if you're really lucky enough to have good friends, it could be real fun to hang around with them especially after work or weekends. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have great day!

You welcome careguarden its always a pleasure. Well its not like I have ended up totally my social life, its just more sorrounded to family and hubbie friends who are good ones thank God, but me, myself, have a couple of friends at work, really interesting to talk to and hang out but with what happened to me I learned my lesson the hard way in concern to being more observant. So, not a problem with that one.

Hey careguarden! I never really cared much what people thought or said about me as long as they didn't lie about me! If I ever found out that someone lied about me that was cause for them to have a real problem with me! I won't stand for anyone making up lies about me and if I find out I will confront them and if they did God help them! People always love to talk about other people it's just human nature. But, if they do they better make sure that they get all their facts straight. I have had to confront people who lied about me before and I made sure that they never did it again!

Hello my friend, Yeah, I agree with you people love to talked about other people lives. The sometimes make stories just to spice up the topic. Yeah it's right to confront those person who make lies before they can make another one. It's better to stop as early s possible so they know that what they're doing. Anyway thank you for always sharing with us opal and have a great day!

What others think and say about you is something what they have seen in you that you do not see. We tend to close our eyes of our personality and proceed with our what we always do. Its important to consider what they told and think about you. You need to consider and contemplate on this thoughts with what you are. Don't be bias and you must accept of what you are. This may change your bad character and will let be a better person. But do not change what others wants you to be. You know yourself better than they do so its up to you on how to do deal with it. For me, I take all thoughts in them and improve.

Well, you have your point. Yeah, on the hand there are some people who can't stand our not so good attitude so they start spreading gossip, about us. It could make us aware of our self, and it's not that easy to accept. And we can't help not to be bothered. And if those people are kind enough they should at least try to talked to us than saying bad things behind our back. That's what I thought is good. You're right we know our self more than anybody do. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

I don't care what people think of me, but like you, I DO care if they are starting rumors and gossiping with others about me! Of course I care about that; who wouldn't? I don't do anything with that, though, because those people are incredibly immature, and in my opinion, karma will definitely get back at them for spreading lies & rumors about other people like that. In my opinion, what comes around goes around; and we don't need to take that into our own hands. It's immature and sad, if you ask me. I ignore the rumors, and they eventually go away.

Yeah, I agree with you. What comes around goes around. Those kind of people are really immature and self fish. They don't know what better things do in their life than making stories and spreading lies. Yeah, gossips won't stay, especially if it's not really true. But somehow it had bothered you and add your stress. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!

I don't care at all what other people say and think about me. What I do is show them what I got and who I really am.And every time they are the ones who can't look me in the eye because they know they are wrong.

It's not important about what others say.But we also should place an eye on that because they may bring uncalculated hurt to us so I mean,it's not necessary to be so happy or sad about what others say but we should also pay attention to that words which hurt you too much and try to avoid that.

Yeah, we should pay attention to what other people said, if it's all about our good character or attitude so let them talked and spread the rumors.LOL But if it's something that could affect our status, or something that's not true then we should take an eye for them and don't let them say whatever they want to say about us. Because if we don't stop them other people might think that it's true. But of course we should handle it in more civil way. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and have a great day!
