People usually bad mouth others because they might be jealous of them or you have something they don't. Speaking from experience, don't let them get to you. This shows how cowardly they are and don't stoop so low to their level by getting back at them. There ain't nothing wrong with you, they are just projecting their sick personality. However you have the right to have your feelings respected, never let them step all over them so you have to deal with them. Ways to deal with them are; Ignore whatever they say, they can say whatever they like and you have the right to ignore them. You can also stand up to them and leave them speechless. Don't be intimidated and laugh at whatever they say in their face.

People will always badmouth you, if they are not then you are doing something wrong. Everyone is bound to have different opinions about various things and you cannot possibly please everyone. One of my favourite examples is about a man and his son who are stood next to a camel and they walk through a village. The villagers question him for being stupid because why would he not ride the camel if he has one, surely the journey through the village would be easier. A second time, the son is told to sit on the camel and the father walks next to the camel, the villagers call the son ill mannered for not letting the father sit on the camel because it is a sign of disrespect to the dad. The third time, the father is on the camel and the son is walking beside them, the villagers say, how dare he make his poor young child walk and they question him as a father. My point is, that people will bad mouth you whatever you do but you have to learn to ignore what they say and just focus on your happiness and wellbeing!

It can be extremely hard to deal with people who bad mouth you. Sometimes you don't even know what to do anymore because they keep on saying hurtful things and spreading rumors. That is a problem that doesn't happen often, but when it does, it can cause a lot of hurt and sorrow. The best thing to do would be to tell someone who has a higher authority than they and report them. Also you can ask the person why they are saying such things and ask them if they have anything against you. Try to listen from an objective view, even if it's difficult! And keep strong and brave. We believe in you!

To ignore them and remember that they have problems in their lives. Someone from authority or higher up should be informed but they are sad people and don't have anything to do that is why they should not bother. Also it should be remembered to work on yourself and to set firm boundaries as you should never be a dormat and walked on by other people. Nobody is perfect in this world and it is not worth spending the time thinking why are even bothering to badmouth. Life is too short so best is to live the life and not care what they say.

I feel that instead of dealing with the people where their reactions are completely out of my control, I like to first ensure that I don't allow their bad mouthing to affect me. After that, I find that it is good to find a group of friends who are on my side to help you out as you deal with those people bad mouthing you. Dealing with them will most definitely not be a simple one-size-fits-all answer, but with people to support you in this journey of figuring out how to effectively deal with them, the task will definitely be less arduous.

Hearing that people are bad mouthing you is extremely hurtful, especially when coming from close peers. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can prevent when hearing that people do. The way you can overcome the valid response you get from the news, is growing your mindset and perspective on the recipitants. Bad mouthing usually reflects a deep wound in the perpetrator, which further grants them a sense of entitlement to project their insecurities. This is wrong, however, knowledge is power- and the more you know, the less it'll surprise you. People will bad mouth you especially when they're jealous, and it's not our job to tell them that their actions aren't mature. Wisdom can heavily protect yourself from rumours, as you have the power of insight.

Ignore people who talk bad about you. People talk bad about someone because of their own insecurities. Ignore them and be proud of who you are. Forgive them and walk away from them. Forgiveness heals you and helps you not to be bitter. In this world, there are people who are cruel with their words and we also have kind people. You can stand up for yourself ignore them and walk away. Remember, you are precious and you are important so someone else's negative words about you doesn't matter and sometimes kind words from you also can stop the other person bad mouthing you.

Oftentimes, the best way to deal with people who are talking about you is to be not a bigger person, but a better person. Ask yourself, would the best version of you stoop to their level or make another level of your own? Everyone’s situation is different, and while I may not know yours completely, I have been through rumors and gossip about me as well. Do what works best for you! :) Keeping your kindness while maintaining a higher maturity level than those speaking down on you is the harder path, but in the long run you’ll be happy you did it.

Try to think positive thoughts and tell yourself that you are better than them. It is easier than to just try to ignore the negative words. But repeating nice, positive words to yourself is always helpful. I have met many people on here that have been hurt by other people's words. Some are people that are close to them. It must be hard. Since I am not allowed to give advice, I try to use the positive words they used to describe themselves. I am taking a page out of my own handbook and trying to tell myself that I am a great person too
