A friend of mine started spreading stories about another common friend, I knew that the stories werent true but he still went on rambling, so I just heard what ever he said, but I never listened, I wouldnt listen..

Listening is different from Hearing LISTENING: such thing you've heard were stored into your heart and mind. HEARING: whatever thing you've heard just pass by you and doesn't stay any much longer... That person doing the thing isn't a real friend to the1 concern and he/she backbyt..

Hi there slipz.. Why are there lots of that kind of people out there? I know people who are like that.. They keep on gossiping as if it's what makes them happy in life.. I guess those people have nothing to do with their life but to keep on minding others life. And I strongly think insecurity has something to do with it too.. What you did is correct. It's better to just let the information get in and out of your ears.. But I have something different just recently, in which I came up to a person and talked to her about things she said which includes me.. Well it still depends on the situation though.. I think your friend has insecurities to your other friend.. Or maybe he holds a grudge to him that you may not know about..

Hi. slipz1487. That is a mean thing for a friend of yours to do to a common friend of yours. I would have just blocked out what he was saying too, especially when I know that it was not true. Friends can be trifling and dirty these days. Who we may think is our friend, could very well be our main enemy.

When rumors of gossip are being spread it may be out of your control to hear it. you have the power and the choice not to listen. It is better not to listen to these tales even though you may have to hear it.

That's good, Slipz. Of course there is no way to avoid yourself from hearing such thing but as long as we don't get involve if we knew it wasn't true, then that is good enough. I don't understand why some people like to spread an untrue story about someone else, but I'm guessing it must be because of jealously.

This always happen to me too. Sometimes it's hard to reject people in order not to hurt their feelings. But in cases where you are not totally interested in what the other person is talking, I utilizes some good alibis to make the person aware that I am not interested in what she/he is talking and at the same time not hurt them like catching an important appointment in the next few minutes or being busy with some important things to do.
