I lost a dear friend today because of others telling her things i said that i did not say.I must say i guess she was not a real friend if she let other people make her believe things that she knew in her heart were not true.I feel raaly sad but life goes on and you make new friends.

You no it is so sad that people are like that,i am one not to believe every thing other people say.I always make it a point to get all the mouths together and confront them and see where it goes from there.Well i sure hope your loved one sees the truth and comes back to you.Good luck.

I am really sorry. She obviously was not a good friend if she believed those things but it still hurts I am sure.

I'm so sorry. I've been through that, too, and it hurts a lot. It's the lack of trust that hurts most, when you've trusted and treasured this person and it turns out that they will believe anything about you. That's why I have few real friends, I only invest that much of myself in people that are immune to that kind of crap. I've never figured out why people to that, lie about others..they are lacking something important in their character, for sure.

Hey lady it has been a while since we talked,but every word you said, is so true.I am so afraid of making friends any more.Seems like the lies out weight the truth these days.

HEck yeah, if she would believe others' words more than she would believe yours then that doesn't make her a friend to begin with. She should know better than to listen to any words against someone she considers as friend without hearing both sides of the story. But well, although it is sad, you will be far off better without her.

I'm so sorry. That is such a hard thing to try to deal with. You definitely have the right idea in that you should move on and find new friends. Who knows, maybe someday she will realize that listening to what has turned out to be harmful gossip just cost her a real friend. Maybe she'll come to her senses. There are gossipers in my family and my husband's family as well. Needless to say, I am not at all friends with these people. They are trouble and I don't think they'll ever learn. I have plenty of true friends that do not talk behind my back or otherwise cause problems.

If that is the case your friend is not so dear and not really a friend at all. Did you try to talk to her about the situation? I know it is hard to lose someone that you trust so much. Perhaps things can be worked out between you two? If you have tried that already it is probably best to just let it go and move on with your life.

I am sorry to hear that. You have done the best that you can and you cannot make her believe. Perhaps one day she will come around but if she is believing these things about you, perhaps she is not that great of a friend after all? Hugs to you.

hi mommamusic! have you tried talking it out with her? sometimes, what would make the other believe that what others are saying is true, is our incapacity to do our part, to prove that we are not guilty of anything accused of us. no pride is lost for a friendship that you would never want to run out of, if you will exert every effort to make her believe! however, if you already did your part to the best of your ability and still, she did not listen, then give her the SPACE that she needs while you continually pray for her to realize...soon! i hope trying on this would make you happy afterall :)

I know exactly how you feel , that happened to me before. people really need to learn a life lesson , i hate when people accuse you for things that you did not say or do. people really need to stop.
