I don t care, and i never ask why somebody talk behind me, just because i know very well that humans are humans, and not all have character, or are not strong enaugh to say what they think in my face. Of course that i will be affected, but i never ask why? And if somebody come and tell me about somebody else who say something bad about me, i never believe him just because i know that if he come to me and say that secret to me...he can go to other person and make same things; i just try don t be friendly any more with somebody who like to talk bad behind me about me or somebody who i love; What you do if you know that 2 persons talk bad about you, in your absence?

At this stage in my life, no i dont care....I've been through far too much and came out on top, I KNOW I'm a good woman, a solid person and an excellent mother, wife and friend so if ppl feel the need to natter about me behind my back it only says they are miserable, jealous and dont know me very well....I've no time for grade school drama nor do I have any desire to be a part of it or let it affect me..

I do not pay any attention to what others say about me. if it is behind my back then it really means even less. If they can't come to my face and tell me if they have a problem with me all that makes them is a coward in my eyes.

I can't say that I care if people talk about me behind my back. They are the one with a problem if they do that and who needs them! And since they are that kind of people, then I seriously doubt if I like them anyway so, who cares what people I don't like are saying about me when I'm not around? The only problem that I can see is if they are lying about you behind your back. That could be a problem on the job, I did find that out the hard way.

Hi there Ice Smile my dear native friend. I think i am like you in this matter, in the sense that i do get a bit affected about their talks, as I am a little bothered by people judging me without really knowing me, but i guess that there is nothing that i can do about this, and i certainly don't plan to act to their pleasing. Now don't get me wrong, i am not a fanatic of any music genre / style so it's not me who is the problem ;). If 2 people talk behind my back ? Hm, well it's their problem, and i prefer not to hear them talk... and of course i will change my opinion about them into bad.

At one point in my life , I feel strongly if other people talk behind my back. I detest it totally. I just feel that it is a disrespect when other people do that. But then , I recently thought that I would just wasting my time thinking of what other people are saying of me. I learned to ignore them because and not to care of what they are thinking and saying of me.

Who don t have character, never got one, this is sure...and why so much effort to make them to understand that my life is just mine?

I can't agree with you anymore. It is really common that there are some people who just talk behind you. Although you have always performed perfectly in your daily life, several people will say something bad about us all the same. Everyday, I will meet such a situation and sometimes my friendswill tell me about that. But I have never pay attention to this kind of people and what they have said about me. It is a waste of time if people lay too much emphasis on what other people talk behind you.

I do not care of what people talk behind me because i know that human being can't change.They have the habit of talking behind but they do not have the guts to talk in front and if somebody tells about my personality then, either of getting angry with him i would rather try to improve.

No I dont care. I love who I am inside and out and if I dont I change it so. One day I will no longer know that person and they are just a person in my soon to be past. If you dont like someone you dont tlak to them or about them nor do you assoiate yoursel with them if they still do that then something with themself is messed up and everyone should be happy if talking about me would make them happy then go a head do it.

thats what you call the " back fighters!" they just talk whenever your not around. for me, it's no way! Im always get upset and mad if there's someone talking about me. Im affected and keep on thiking why and why did they say that something to me. Usually I try to isolate myself to avoid them.

I hate gossips and gossipers. I don't care about what people talk behind me. I know about myself and I am very clear about my deeds. I think people who are insecure and who are lazy talks bad things behind people. If somebody takes things like this to my notice, I just ignore that. If there is a important point in their talk, I will try to change myself if I am very sure that it is required.

I have learned to turn my ears deaf mode when it come to this kind of situation. I don't really like people talking behind my back, however in my current situation, it will surely happen. I just wouldn't be bothered with those ppl who like to talk behind people's back, as they have yet to notice that they themselves are actually being 'discussed' that way too!

I don't care if someone talk behind me about my personality either because this is me and I don't deal to person who can't talk and ask what she/he against my personality.That's why its really hard to trust someone that you only knew for a short time and acting he/she likes you.

I love the people who talk behind me, either good or bad, people talking good about me, directly or indirectly encouraging me, people talking bad about me are very much helpful because they were pointing out my mistakes, so i will get a chance to rectify them. Even if they say something bad about me which is not true, it helps me to find out true friends in my life. People who really believes me will never care abt these statements and people who believe these statements are not true friends of mine. So, I love the people who talk behind me, but i don't care about them. It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

I would prefer to take a position didn't care. Because of what they were talking about me, especially about something bad about me,not necessarily true. For me, the important thing is to do something the best, and trying to not hurt other's feeling.

I would be briefly hurt and do wonder, but I would recover fast. I will try not to care so much about it and move on with my life still. I think those whom like to talk about others behind their backs are not confident of themselves. That's because they prefer to talk behind rather than having a healthy debate or talk face to face. I have this mentality or thought like if someone isn't happy with someone's behavior, it's best for them to talk it out with that person and get it out straight. That's more better than just back-stabbing. But then again, if say A doesn't know B that well, I feel that A shouldn't pass judgments about B without having background knowledge on things.

I wouldn't care either. That only goes to show that those 2 people have nothing else to do but gossip. If they talk behind my back that should be their problem, not mine. I have better things to do in my life than deal with such crap from them. They can talk about me forever til they turn green. People like that are not important to me but obviously I am important to them and they kind of make me feel like a celebrity without them realizing it. lol

The people that talk often never really know you, most everything said every story told is all hearsay that is so distorted.

Well I have to say that it does bother me when I find out people are talking behind my back. But then I wonder why me? Is there something that I have done to them to create such hatred against me? If so I want to address it and clear my name whether or not I have any respect for that person. Its just that it is not fair to hear that so and so is talking about me and not hear why? If its jealousy or envy or whatever, I feel I have the right to address it directly with that person. I never look or sound insulting when I do address them because at the end it could be just one big misunderstanding. But Yes always I confront. Its not hard to do if you are the victim of gossip. Its hard to do if you are the gossiper.

I used to care in highschool. I wasnt the smartest, I wasnt the most popular, I wasnt the skinniest. I used to have people pick on me all the time. Then I started realizing, who cares. If people want to say stuff about me or whatever, then go for it. I have the friends that I want, and if those friends hear something, they'd moer than likely come and ask me about it, and I'd tell them the truth. Once I got thru that in highschool. I really havent cared since.
