I had confuse with one of myfriend. She's tiny but a big mouth. She likes to talk about people, all the negative side of them, act like she's the perfect one. For first time, I try to ignore that she's weird becuse talk about all minus side of people, but finnaly I found fact that she talks about me too behind. Tell the lie story about me and all the minus side of me. It's so annoying!! I try to make distance with her, but she's really big mouth kind. I dont speak much to face her, but she's now too much!! What should I do?

I suggest that you should talk to her. Let her know that you know that she's talking behind your back and confront her about it. It's high time that she be taught a lesson and be told that it's not good to be backbiting people because after all, she's not perfect too. I also suggest, you keep away from her for good. Find other friends you can trust.

I think she knows that I knew it, but talk other is like her basic character and hobbies. Hard to tell her since she's stubborn, childish and selfish. She always thought she's the right one.I want her to go away!

I think if I were on your shoes, I would have already talked to her privately about my concerns with her attitude and why she talks to me behind my back. I think it's worth to try than to just look the other way about this. You should not tolerate it, most especially if you're sure that she truly said those words about you. You don't really need to have a friend like that. After you talk to her about your concerns, you just lay off being her friend and just cut off ties instantly.

I have a "friend" just like that. She always plays the innocent one and complains about other people behind their backs. I am in the same group of friends as she is, but I have learned to not tell her anything. She always exaggerates things and I HATE it. I am not one to say something behind someone's back if I haven't said what I am saying to the person I am having an issue with. But, I have said to other people, "I hear what she says about other people, I'd hate to hear what she says about me." So, needless to say, we are not close because I do not need that in my life. I do not like to say that I am better than people, but I am better than that kind of behavior. I do not go out of my way to make plans with her alone. We pretty much just see each other when there are group get togethers or parties. I am cordial with her because I know that I am going to see her at these get togethers. I feel your frustrations about this, but just know that you are better than that. Do what you feel you need to do, and if it involves getting her out of your life, you might just be better off. Good Luck!!

You are very lucky if you only have one friend like that. I find many people suit this description. Our society in general is noisy, and likes to talk about everyone else.

Making a distance and letting her continually live her life is like tolerating her to do bad things. As one of my philosophy, I believe that There is a great responsibility for every truth you will know. In your part, you have seen the real weakness of your friend. Now, if you still call her friend and treat her like that, regardless of the backstabbing and bad mouths she has done over you, you have a responsibility over her especially now that she won't stop doing such negative things which will possibly ruin her life and other persons' lives. If you really care for her, which I know you did because you open it up here, you will understand her. Forgive her for what she has done to you and forget those things already. What's important is how you can help her change for better. Perhaps the best way is to try to talk to her personally, not in the mood of harsh confrontation. Perhaps do it like a girls' day out. Treat her in a nearby coffee shop and there open up to her. Make sure that you emphasize that you have forgiven and forgotten her badmouthing and focus your real concern about her attitudes. Don't overdo it and don't pretend to be "perfect" or holy. Make her feel that you are really her friend and that you value her especially if she will be able to enhance her life. If she gets annoyed or become mad at your sounding like, then change then let her be. Perhaps its not yet time or she's not yet ready. Try it again next time. Always remember that there's no harm in trying. What you will do is the most difficult above all ... that's forgiving someone. But there's always a blessing if you overcome evil with good.

This is reality mate. Everyone is different, we all have positive and negative traits. If this is someone you don't care about, just ignore her and keep your distance. If this is someone you care about then you should tell her she is being a pain and alienating everyone. Of course you will need to reinforce that you care and that is the reason you're telling her. Just be a good friend.

Hi! You should just ignore her. Show the people that what she's saying about you is not true. Stop being friends with her. Do not listen to whatever bad things she's saying about other people. If you listen to her you would be stooping down her level and that is not good. Ignore her and she will be get her karma in the future. It really is annoying to listen to people badmouthing other people. It's like complaining that never ends. It's particularly annoying when that person says bad things which are also his/her bad traits. People doesn't really know how to look at their own mirror and see their ugly qualities. They have to look at other people's mirrors just to see it. Cheers.

Well, the simplest thing to do is to disfriend her. She's not worth your time, effort, emotions, and all. There are more people more worthy to be called friends.

It's so tiring to confront her because she's big mouth and always speaks louder than anyone.So best thing to do is leave her and make a friend with right people.

Thats sad, and it means she is no one's friend . People who talk behind back can talk ill of you too behind your back. But best is tell her that you hate this habit of hers and it would be nice if you both can talk of other things beside the people you know try and diverting the conversation politely if she understands then okay or just switch off your mind or else watch TV while she is around that will send the message loud and clear. At times you have to stand up and stop being nice to certain people.

I'd walk away and stop wasting your time. She's a bully, attacking those that can't or won't fight back. I wouldn't consider her a friend because friends are not mean to one another.

What you have is a friend that has a very poor self esteem. When she tells you these stories about other people, in her mind, it makes her look better in your eyes. There is only one way you will ever get rid of her and that is to stop being a friend. You really have only two choices. Tell her up front that you are sick and tired of her always being negative about other people and that you know some of the things she says is not true. By being up front with her it may cause her to then tell even more stories about you behind your back but one would hope she would leave you alone. The alternative is to just never speak to her again. If she tries to force it then tell her that you know she has been back talking you and you have lost all respect for her. After that say nothing more to her. This is something that is part of her basic personality and there is nothing you can do to change it so you must no longer be her friend. That may be hard for you to do but you really have no choice. One thing is for sure you will not be the first person that has done this and you will not be the last.

Wow, she has a mouth in her face, and you can't stop her talking. So, the only resolution you can do about it just ignore, and don't ever talk to her like that. The truth is, she will know that once people avoiding her, and she is the one who humiliate herself. We don't have to do anything to punish her actually. She made it happen.

Hi,I am sorry for you having such a friend.I have never had a friend like that,I am not sure that I can help you on this.In my opinion,to keep distance from her maybe is a good choice for you,you can not fight against her and just ignore what she says, as you mention above.Beacuse maybe she still loves you and cherishes the friendship.Have a nice day!
