How to deal with people that are bad mouthing me?

I would always recommend taking the high road. At times, it can be really frustrating, I have struggled with this myself -- but, nobody will ever know you better than you know yourself. People might judge, criticize, point fingers and say every vile thing under the moon - but none of it truly matters when YOU know YOURSELF. You have the power to not let them affect you - remind yourself that you are not their words. Remind yourself that you are WHO you want to be and as long as you're fine with that and as long as you accept yourself, what the world thinks of you is insignificant.

I usually just let them know that they are talking rude to me, and that I would prefer they take a step back think about it and then come back to me when they've calmed down, I find when I'm worked up and them someone comes in and start bad mouthing me it all turns up not good. My biggest belief in life is that the key to co- existence is communication. Being able to talk about things that bother you and being able to tell people how that upset you can really make a difference!! I hope this is helpful

Bad mouthing exists and will always exist. Despite all your attempts to be the kindest and the most compassionate person, these people will always exist, because it brings out how insecure they feel about you. If you know you are on the right path and even if you did mistakes, if you are able to forgive yourself for it, you don't need to listen. The only time when opinions should matter is when you are looking for constructive criticism. Try and steer away from destructive criticism. There is a huge beautiful world of kind people outside the bubble of bad mouthing people, and also a part of the universe inside you. Try and explore that if you can! :D

it seems that we have two options and to think of the outcomes of both of those options. We can confront the person or let it pass. However, to think about how you would want to confront them and what your hopes are to get out of the conversation. It seems that we have to think about how we want to approach it and what we want as an end result. To think about the best and the worst possible outcome and if we want to take the risk. Overall, it depends on how you look at the situation and how you think would be the best response to their actions.

The best way to deal with this situation is to treat people with kindness. In other words, kill them with your kindness. People don't have the energy to bad mouth people that are kind and if they do they should be ignored. For example, if someone calls you a mean word reply to them with a compliment about them. It is hard for the bad mouther to respond to this in a negative way and if they do continue with your compliments to them. I believe this is an effective way to stop bad mouthers. If this doesn't work then you must ignore them.

To deal with people that are bad mouthing me, I would go tell them how I have been feeling because of their talking. Also, I can also ask them if I did anything wrong to them. If they tell me that they had misconception, I can ask them to stop talking bad about me or if they tell me about my fault, we can apologize to each other. I would also try to fix what he told me. I can take it as a great opportunity to become friends with him because we could share our opinions and we could know better about each other.

If they have no reason for bad mouthing you and you are totally innocent of being party to it then I’d say ignore them. They are only causing trouble and in time other people will come to realise this. You need to be taking care of yourself and not adding to anyone’s drama. Talk with people who you can trust and leave the bad mouthers to get bored and eventually leave you alone. It can take time for the drama to die down, but eventually it will and people will see what a good person you are. Also fill your life with good things, positivity and fun and you’ll not have time to worry about them anymore, you’ll just be too busy.

Just breathe, remind yourself of positive self-affirmations. The people who are so negative against you are using their own insecurities to displace them on to you. You are not a product of their opinions. You should take time and make space between yourself and them before any attempts at conversating, give yourself time to calm down from any hurtful comments. Do not take and on their comments and words as labels to yourself. You cannot control how they act, but you can control how you react and sometimes people are trying to make you give them a reaction. Don't let anyone tilt your crown.

I feel like there are a few levels. For example, if they are someone you consider a friend and/or have had a relationship with for many years, make sure to tell them how their comments are making you feel, and that if they value your friendship they would stop. If the person saying the things is a stranger or someone not in your life, I would suggest ignore them. Insecure people tend to project their insecurities towards others, and the best thing you can do is not give them your time. Instead spend that time growing and nurturing yourself.

Remind yourself that they're not speaking from a place of truth, they're speaking from a place of bitterness and anger. Don't let your mind dwell on lies. Some people feel the need to tear others down because they think it somehow lifts their own self up in the process. Walk with your head held high knowing that they never got the privilege to know your true character. People that bad mouth you don't deserve any space in your thoughts or any place in your worries. Show grace and kindness in the face of adversity and never stoop to their level.
