People around me, the people i live with (not family) and interact with everyday, they won't stop talking nonsense about me!!! Its all gossip and rumours, and its making my life miserable. They don't know what they're talking about, they're distorting facts and blowing things out of proportion. I don't want to confront them because I don't want them to know I care about it.. Please help..!!!

I think gossip and rumors are the worse thing in the world, and they do hurt no matter how much you were taught when you were little "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me."  All I have to say is if these people are your friends, they aren't very good friends and you should just find new people to socialize with. But the best thing to do is try and ignore it, If someone confronts you about it just tell them they must of heard it wrong and you would apprieciate it if they no longer talked about it.  Good luck.

just ignore her dont harm her, plus she could get worse, just be conscoius that she doesnt hear whats going on so she cant start rumors, there are many people like this just dont go head to head with her.

it doesn't really matter what other people say - it is for their own entertainment and won't have a huge effect on your life if you don't let it. like another commenter said, if someone askes you then tell them the truth, but don't go out of your way to change what everyone thinks or people will just gossip more

Some times it is easier to talk to strangers then our loved ones.  Sounds like you need to stand up for your self.  Don't let people walk all over you.  You were not put on this earth to be a door matt.  You can do it with out being nasty about it.  Just be open and honest with them, as long as you are being honest and they don't like what they hear.  That is their problem not yours.  It's your life take a stand.

you don't say anything to people like that. the best thing to do is ignore them and act like you did'nt even hear them. giving them a comment only let's them know they have got to you and encourages them to keep on.

sounds like jealousy to me.  people who are jealous of you can cause you a lot of trouble because they will say things about you that aren't true, try to turn friends against you, ruin your reputation, etc....\nthe best thing you can probably do, is ignore this person for the time being, and don't tell her any of your business.\nhopefully, in time, she will do some growing up and see how silly this is making her look.\nBest Wishes

don't worry about what she said. you know whatever it is isnt true and if the people she told are your friends, then they also know the truth. she's obviously very insecure and jealous and starving for attention. people might take her side for a little while but dont get too upset because they'll learn what a little liar she is and you will have all ur friends back. just keep on being nice to her and it will make her look stupid.

It doesn't bother me. If they are saying nasty things, and they can't even back it up, it's because they are jealous of you. You have things they don't. Maturity, intelligence, amongst others. Don't let it hurt you, they'll only do it more. You are better than them and can rise above them.

Ignore the rumors - if someone asks you about it you say "you listen to that guy?  that is simply not true."\n\nFor the stalking - if it is truly physical stalking you need to call the police.

You are right, rumors should definately be stopped. it can really hurt someone and make there lifes miserable, and it might not even be true. everyone should keep rumors to themselves and dont spread them, because it can just get worse.\n\n\nplz choose me as best answer!

Just be yourself and don't worry about ignorant people who think they are better than you. These people have to degrade you to make themselves feel better. Let them call you names, joke about how you function in the world, and laugh at your personality,etc., it's just their way of turning the spotlight away from themselves because they are afraid if you look too closely at "them", you may find a few flaws. If they would turn on their brights, they would realize everyone is different; has bad points and good points; and acceptance brings people closer. Maybe they are just sooooo unhappy, they want to drag you down to their dungeon to suffer with them. Try extending an olive branch or making a peace offering, and if that does not work, forget about them, do your own thing, and sooo politely tell them to kiss your arse.   \nP.S.  I am a Redneck, shhhhhh....don't tell anybody!!(:

well they already spread around. so it is good if you hold your head up high. as long as you know that it is not true. then you shouldn't even buy in to all of that. if somebody asks you is it true, then tell them no. if they start all these questions like well she/he said that you did this or you did that then just ignore them. just try to lift your head above the clouds. but, not too high as if you are conceited. before you know it you will no longer be in their conversation. there would be no more rumors about you and you will be able to go on. then you will be able to go on in life and not have to worry about them anymore. just be patient it will happen and you will be ok!!!!!!!!!

Stay away from them.  Make other friends.  Live your life with virtue.  If they are joking about you - no one would believe them if you are living a good life.

Just ignore them.  The only reason they keep doing this is because you are reacting.  If you quit giving them any change in your facial expression and quit saying anything to them about it and maybe just give them a laugh and walk off, they will stop.

Stop asking them. Keep the petty questions to yourself. My man hates that I ask him to many questions about petty stuff. I still can't seem to keep my mouth shut tho. Good luck with that. Its not as easy as it sounds.
