How do I cope with knowing that my old friends say bad things about me?

The brilliant thing about old friends, is they don't matter. The only people that matter are your close friends, and your close friends would know whats true, and whats not. If you leave them to it, they would soon get bored of no response. Thats how bullies work.

I know is hard,but just know that what they say doesn't mean a think because you are amazing. :)....

Don't worry about those who talk behind your back. They are behind you for a good reason. New and better friends are out there!

Work hard to focus on being the best human you can be. There will be times where people will not like you "just because". I believe "other peoples opinions of me are not my business", I work to be the best me I can be on a daily and that is the best I can do. You will not be like by everyone and that is okay too. If this bothers you a lot and it is someone close, I would speak to my friends and let them know how it made me feel. It is okay to feel upset or saddened by this as well.

It's not easy feeling like our so called friends have betrayed us. However, this can be considered a type of bullying. Tell someone of authority, like a parent, trusted adult, or someone else what is happening. And know that what they are doing is wrong and you don't have to be a victim.

The way out of this is to confront them directly. Know about the root cause of their problems with you. Ask them what the matter is and in the most courteous way possible, tell them that next time they notice a bad habit of yours, they should tell you directly for the sake of the friendship you once had.

If they say bad things about you and you know about it, they obviously aren't worthwhile. You should approach them about it and tell them how it makes you feel, if they still continue, dump them and find some friends that are nicer than them.

Just know that these hurtful things that this person might have said to you are not who you really are! You know they are not true and this person also knows that they are not true either

Well, they aren't really true friends if they are talking about you. If they are, don't listen to what they say because they are not worth your time. They don't deserve you if they are talking behind your back.

They're your old friends. What they say doesn't matter. If they talk about you behind your back, you know what, they're behind you for a reason. Don't let them get to you.
