How to deal with people that are bad mouthing me?

As they say, they talk behind your back because that's where they are - behind your back! The important ones will always talk to you, not about you and most importantly they will stay. Nothing else to worry about.

Well there's probably two main approaches and they depend on how confident and angry you are. You can either confront them or ignore it and walk away. Both have advantages and disadvantages and it depends on how much what they've said is affecting you and whether you wish to confront them or not. Neither way is right or wrong, it just depends what works for you. Try to do either one as calmly as possible and you will always seem the better person. They may be trying to get a reaction from you anyway so bare that in mind.

Don't give them the satisfaction of knowing that their words are bothering you. I'm not saying you have to ignore them, but maybe do some incognito stuff and get back at them. Don't do anything illegal. Other than that, become a spy and send a signal to them that they shouldn't be mean.

Go and spesk to them face to face and tell them that you do not appreciate them being so rude to you.

Isolate yourself from them. You don't need them or the negativity they're bringing in your life. You are strong and independent.

There is always the option of telling someone about it, maybe they could help. You could confront the person because if they have such a problem with you, isn't it smarter to tell YOU about it rather than bad mouth you? if they have such a problem, the only way it's going to be solved is by talking to you personally.

listen to others aservativley. then show empathy by showing and giving compassion, showing is more imoportant

I try and take personal inventory and think about why they would be. I also try and remember that people like to project how they’re feeling about themselves on to others as a way to feel better. And sometimes, you simply just can’t take it personally.

People are not going to like everyone, but, you should confront the people. Explain that it hurts you, and that you would like them to stop. And, you should then cut all ties with them, don’t speak with them anymore. It won’t help you mentally or emotionally to be surrounded by toxic people like that.

If it's a really small thing, like, "they smell bad" or "they're ugly" or "they're so dumb", ignore it. They're either jealous of what you've got or what you are, OR they suffered from some bad situation that they're trying to hide and they're taking it out on you. Speaking of taking it out on you, it's very wrong if someone is persistent in trying to hurt you. If someone continues telling you that you're ugly, or if it's a more severe problem like "go kill yourself", then you can do one of two things: 1) inform an adult or 7 Cups to get support or 2) confront them yourself, show them what you're made of! At the same time, don't hurt them more than they've hurt you. Like, if they did tell you to commit suicide, don't make a comeback like "go kill yourself too".
