''Water off a duck's back'' That famous Rupaul's Drag Race Quote Let them. Have faith in the people you trust and can count on as friends, to defend you/ refuse to believe someone just being nasty. And guarantee to never treat someone, like they've treated you. They'll eventually move on and pick on someone else.

I would say mostly ignore or avoid them. If this doesn't seem possible/ doesn't seem to work confront them and ask them why they have been bad mouthing you.

From my experience, you cannot truly deal with people who are talking about you behind your back. All you can do is be confident in yourself and in knowing that the person isn't telling the truth. It may seem terrible at first, but I promise it will blow over.

Remember that they're talking about you because of their low self-esteem and it's not about you. They try to bring themselves up by bringing you down and as long as you understand this, you should have a better perspective of why it's happening and be able to not care about what they think as much.

I have learned that over the years people who are more concerned with others and talk about others in a negative way either 1)envy something about you 2)have their own issues in their life 3) are bored/self-centered and like to pick on people for pleasure. Whatever the reason another person is doing this, do NOT mind them. A good saying is those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter. Depending on your age and maturity level it gets easier with time. We are so focused no a days with our image, social media and keeping up tp certain standards that we often lose ourselves. But those people who are bad mouthing you, do NOT matter and they should NOT be in your life. The sooner you forget about them or eliminate them from your life the less stress you will have

Many times it can be best to just ignore it. At least you have realized the type of people you are dealing with and this, in and of itself can actually be a gift in disguise. Isn't it great that now you actually know, don't have to continue the relationship, don't have to invest more time into them, and of course wouldn't be sharing your private, personal moments with them? If this is someone or people that can affect your livelihood (i.e work life, work reputation) or affecting you volunteer work, perhaps this may be the time to bring it to the attention of someone in a position of authority. It's best to not retaliate. Two wrongs do not a make a right. Let someone in a position of authority deal with it and they will then know that perhaps these people are sabotaging others as well. At the end of the day, karma knows everyone's address. Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord. Hand it over another higher power. He will deal with them better than you ever could. And an additional biblical reference....the traps they set for me, they will fall into themselves.

Ignore them! Maybe they are just jealous of you. If you ignore them then they will eventually give up and notice that you won't give in.

It's best to ignore them. Try not to let the words hurt them. As long as you love yourself, nothing else matters. If you can, try reasoning with the people, they might be going through some stuff too.

From personal experience, it is a good idea to just be silent and try not to react impulsively. Keep your shoulders up and never show signs of anger, disgust or frustration. If it is overwhelming, just leave the place.

You don't need to deal with these kind of people. Walk away from them. there is no point talking to them back. You can't change them either you do not need to prove anything. Just walk away, forget and forgive. Let them bad mouth, it's showing how jealous they are to you. It's showing the real them. It's showing their personality. Their bad mouthing you, have nothing to do with your charming. They are simply just jealous on you. They can not handle your aura. You are too bright for them to be handle for. Just walk away and smile. Definitely they gonna be jealous more and more.
