What will you do if someone gossips about you?

Gossip - A Gossip are rumors or a take about someone's personal or private life.People do this out of curiosity or just to have something to talk about.It may destroy someone's reputation because of people spreading it.We all sometimes enjoy gossiping with our friends and we cannot sometimes resist it because of the new info we will know about someone.

Sometimes we hear lots of gossips and one of the worst gossip you will hear is about yourself.There are lots of people who gets angry and go straight to to the one who spread the rumors and would argue and fight with them.Some people just explains it or denies it to others and some just keep quiet just to close the issue.But for me, I really do not mind the people who spreads something about me.I do not have to explain myself to others because this is my life and I am not living here on earth to please everyone.But when someone asks about it, I just tell them that it is not true or try to explain if they are concern about the situation.How about you guys? What will you do if someone spreads gossips about you?

Maybe when the time I hear the worst gossip about me, at first I feel hurt and get conscious of my self. Knowing things if I did something awful that makes them construct the conclusion. But maybe not to worry coz i know my self more than anyone else. Just let them be, soon they'll get tired of it.

I really don't care at all. I try to go through life thinking that if someone cares enough to gossip about me, that means that I am an interesting person, and if not everybody likes me is more than OK, because in my opinion someone who tries to be liked by everyone is lacking personality and he or she is dissimulating a lot. Those persons who usually gossip are individuals who are dying for attention, but since they are not able to do something good to draw attention, they start to talk about others. So for me these kind of persons are equal to nothing. What bothered me was when I told a problem of mine to a friend and the next day everyone wads talking about this. I simply told her that she is not a real friend and I stopped being friend with her.

Try to deal with to those kind of people at once to clarify things and to that person get warn and stop the gossip which is not true.Then after the person still keep on spreading false gossip, better stay away and don't bother to waste time to them cause it could add guts to them to continue and give them satisfaction if we get affected.Those kind of person are not worth it of our time.

I don't know how and why but my attitude towards gossip has always been the same, ever since I was a teenager. I didn't care at all. And I found out that when you don't care, the gossip stops. If you answer, it's like gasoline in a fire. It won't stop burning. Words are just words. Just ignore them. Besides, I only care what few people say, those people who care for me.

Generally, I would not do anything and just ignore it. If people ask me, I will deny it because I know the rumor to be false. However, I would be more vigilant about any types of rumors about me that might target my friends. While I can handle the gossip, I will not tolerate any gossip that starts about me but somehow moves on about my friends. Usually the people gossiping about you will take the time to also find information about you and target your friends only because they hang out with me. If my friends began becoming targets, I would do some personal investigations by asking people who they heard it from and try to find the person who started it.

I think I will deal with her. If she or he has some problems with me then go say it right through my face. I hate it when people starts to gossip about with with something that isn't true. It happened when I was in college. Some of my friends don't see me sometime so they thought I was pregnant. I mean, for real? Just they don't see me often they're going to start a gossip like that? Well, I dunno how did it stopped but maybe when they saw me with my tummy flat they didn't want to show their face to me again. But if incase there's too much gossip I'll just ignore it. :)
