First try to calmly approach the situation humbly and tell the person how it makes you feel and politely explain how you find some truth in what they are saying and ask them for ideas or help understanding how to be better.

You can try to talk to them like a mature adult and tell them that you do not like it when they bad mouth you. You can try to ignore it by walking away.

To be honest, the most straightforward way would be to ignore them. However, one should not just ignore them if they are spreading things which are way too malicious. One good way to deal with people badmouthing you would be to directly confront them, and trash out any possible misunderstandings there might be on both sides.

It's easier said than done, but ignore them. People's impressions of you are their problem, not yours. As long as you know who you are, and you're confident in that, nothing people say can hurt you.

It depends, if it is not directed at me, I will try to be understanding and try to direct their attention to something more positive or constructive. If it is directed at me, I will try to explain that I am only trying to help and their behaviour will make them lose me and my help. If they keep things directed at me, I will politely show sympathy and end the conversation.

There are many ways to deal with those type of people, the best choice is to ignore them and show them that you're not faded a bit.

know they might be having bad day and let it go. don't do the same. and confront them if it gets worse.

Just don't react.. Such people need drama feed them class and also that ensures everyone knows you aren't bad albeit these people were gossip mongers

The most reasonable way is to tell them to stop, they know nothing about you and are not in whatsoever place to talk that way about you
