You don't have hair on head how many criticize me and how many talk my back. Say like me"who don't love me,don't deserve me".. Why you bother on this? Just leave it alone. If they were your real friends they wouldn't talk about you like that. cuss them out and throw the book at them and tell them that you dont want to be their friend no more for doing ya dirty like that!there is no since in ppl treating others like that and they should be taught a lesson for the wrong that they did.in time though they will get You must get to know who you are first. Reflect on the possibilities as to why they back-stabbed you. Whether or not you got it started, such act is wrong. Take for example, "...a girl and a gay..." Did you mean guy? Because calling someone "a gay" is not acceptable. "...Without enough reasons to do so..." Does this mean when someone has sufficient facts, it is okay to talk bad about you?I tell you what...make certain that what comes out of your mouth is exactly what you wanted to say because many times it's repeated. Sometimes we don't see our faults unless someone repeats it. Nonetheless, be careful, keep your eyes on the prize, and treat people the way you expect them to treat you."Commit something that you'll regret?" Forget about it.

hey i think you shouldnt be worried about the people who try to cricize you behind you. It just shows that they don't have the guts and its not worth wasting time thinking about these kind of peopel. so just move on and ignor them and things would fall in place in due course

If I am in that situation... If the friends don't mean anything to me, I will tell them that they suck and then walk away from their lives. If they do matter to me, I will confront them. If they deny even though I am 100% positive that I am right, again I will tell them they suck and walk away from their lives. If they apologise, I will put it behind me. But if they repeat it again and again.... yes, you guess it right... i will tell them they suck and walk away from their lives... Life is too precious to be wasting it on people who just aint worth it...

If you give it enough time, maybe a week or two, you will get the answer as to why they are acting like that. Usually it is because they are jealous about something, or one of them can't handle having more than one friend at a time. Maybe they are trying to bond with each other and using you to do that. One of them is threatened by you being a part of the group. I know, because this happened to me before. I never told them off or cussed them out, I just decided that after all of the things they said, and even after they apologized to me, I didn't want to be a part of the group, or be their friends. I just went on with my normal day as usual, and ended up making more friends that were a lot more like me and were a lot nicer. It is just immature, and if you want those kind of people as your friends, then don't have high expectations. You don't have to end the friendship in a nasty way, or even let them know you are ending it. I would just not even entertain them with what I felt about what they have to say. They don't deserve to get the satisfaction of seeing how much they hurt you. I would treat them like they have no value to me. Meanwhile, while you are recovering from being stabbed in the back, keep your dignity and find friends that have some class and aren't immature children. There are people out there that don't get something out of being mean to other people or aren't so jealous that they have to hurt you to bring you down. Go find them and replace the immature people that you thoguht were your friends.

Please understand that if they backstabbed you it means they were not true friends for you! I do understand how you feel when you got to know that they say bad things about you. But if you see the life as a chain of tests, and you just forgive them (do try to forgive them at least in your heart), it means you've successfully passed the exam! If I were you I would just thank God that it happened to me because I saw that in fact they are not as good as I thought since they behaved like that. Who knows, many be they would betray you in some other more bad way? I wish you strength to overcome this situation and I think you deserve to find really true friends!
