Block 'em! I know it's short but it's the first step. If they're bad mouthing you in real life, just walk away. It'll fade away. Show them that you're so cool you don't care what they say!

Instead of trying to fight back I just ignore them. The people hat badmouth are just jealous of you and probably trying to draw attention to themselves. If you don't react they'll get tired of you and move on.

I believe that you should always surround yourself with loving and caring people. That said, there is no point in even spending time on people that do not respect you. Ignore them and block them, so you can spend more time with friends and people that do respect you, and you like hanging out with. Time spent on disrespectful people is time wasted.

The best solution for this in my experience is to ignore it. You can't give fire to something that's not true

Turn the other cheek and ignore it. Don't sink to their level. Say nice things about them in return.

I find that the issue is usually the person I am talking with is agrivated. I tell them that I don't want to talk to them now and will continue the conversation later.

Either confront them and tell them how you feel or report this to someone in authority if you're younger such as a teacher or parents. If you are going to confront them, ask them how they'd feel in your situation. If that doesn't work, just ignore them. It's hard to do but when they see that they have no impact on you, they'll stop.

In my experience, the best way to deal with people bad mouthing you is to simply remember that any way others see you is completely down to them. Their own actions and words are not a reflection on yourself at all. Remember you can't always control how people view you but you can control how you choose to react to their negativity.

It is so, so difficult to get past other people's negative, hurtful, and insensitive comments about you. Nobody deserves to be harassed or treated with undue disrespect. It's important, though, to stay calm and not lash out at people who are frustrating you. Focus on yourself. Only you know your true self, not them. It's okay to be angry, but they are not worth it. You are above them. You can be better than they are. If the harassment gets to be too much for you to handle, confide in someone that you trust. A parent or friend can help you stay positive about yourself and can take control if things get out of hand. Stay strong.
