How to deal with people that are bad mouthing me?

I tell them that what they're doing isn't nice, isn't hurting me, and isn't making you look like a nice person.

There are many ways to deal with people who are badmouthing you. In my experience, it's important to keep your cool while it's occurring. Be mindful of your emotional arousal and try your best to tame it. If you find it difficult to control your emotions, allow them to run their course and just observe them in a detached manner. This way, you'll avoid any unnecessary extra stress. Avoid antagonizing the badmouther, because this will just lead to more abuse from them. One thing you can do is let the person know that their behavior is rude and inappropriate; however, do not harbor any high expectations here, because abusers rarely admit their wrongdoing, especially during the heat of the moment. Usually, the best thing you can do in these situations is ignore them and move on. If they wanna dwell on negativity, that's their prerogative. You don't have to accompany them.

I know the easiest answer would be to ignore them. Though that can help, You should talk to someone about it.

I honestly think people that are bad mouthing others should be ignored. It is important to know yourself, and to keep in mind that whatever the people who are bad mouthing you are saying, don't let it bring you down.

I try not to bad mouth them back because that only escalates the situation and helps no one. I try to understand what is causing them to say these things and either ignore it or figure out the best plan of action.

I usually see how long they're doing it. I also try and give thought to why they may be giving me disrespect, or others; including themselves. Might it be their home life, friends, mental health, physical health, schooling, work, stress, just their personality, myself, others, etc. Usually I try and ask if there's something going on that they'd want to talk about and if they are willing, if they are, then I am here for them. And if not, I respect that.

Everyone has experienced bad-mouthing from someone, somewhere in their lives. And as much as I may sound like your mother, 'ignore them'. Have you ever seen a toddler crying for attention? They cry more and more until they get what they want, but if they don't, then they give up and sulk. If you give in, all they do is keep on doing it. I have had many bullies and 'haters' give up and walk away very quickly because I just didn't show that I cared!

Ignore them and tell them it's not true. If they don't listen, just focus on the people who are there for you. If others ask about it, confirm that it's not true

People who had a bad mouth are just angry people and we should just ignore them and give them a comforting smile. It does not help to bad mouth in return as you were just putting yourself into more trouble and give them what they wanted, to make you be like them. Don't allow that.

Count in your head, however long you need to, just don't stop. If you find you are still angry after this, say the word "bubbles" Over and over. No one can be mad when they're saying bubbles.
