I meet this person way back long time, I try to be her friend though but not long I discovered something very aweful about her acts and I hated it but keep it to myself. One day, she asks me a big favor but I was not able to do it for the very reason that I don't want to do that thus, I make an excuse, eventually she was very furious and did fabricate stories and lies about me and tell it to all of my friends. I was so mad at her and felt so ashamed for a very long time, I didnt talk to her.
Have you ever experience like this before?
What would you if your on my shoes?
How long can you contain anger and hatred?
Would you fight back?

If your friends are TRUE friends, they will not listen to the lies and stories this person is fabricating.
She sounds like she is not worth your anger. You should pity her for being the way she is because she must be a very miserable person inside. People who act like she does hate themselves for some reason and they take it out on everyone they come into contact with.
If I were you, I would talk to her the next time I see her (assuming I see her again) and tell her that I'm sorry she feels the need to spread lies and rumors about me. I would also want to add that I pity her and understand, but that might just make her explode with anger! Of course, I would probably do it anyway.
She's a taker, a user. That is obvious. If you ask someone for a big favor and they can't do it, or just don't want to, most people would understand and everything would be okay. But people who just want to use other people for their own gain are the ones who get angry when you say no to them.
I've noticed from some of your other posts that you are a religious person. Pray for her. She needs it!

I just read the other replies and someone mentioned slander.
I had forgotten about this but, at least in the U.S., if someone intentionally slanders you to hurt your reputation, you can sue them for financial restitution.
Even if you can't do that in your country, try saying this to her. It might scare her enough to never say another bad word about you.

It's never bad to be angry because it's just a normal reaction if someone takes advantage of you to have you pushed through you limits. But what I consider not good is the length of time one holds anger and hatred in his heart. I truly believe that it damages one's health more the longer he holds contempt and grudge in his heart.
It might not be easy to let go of the idea to forgive and I know it takes real time to heal the pain in your heart, but with your constant calling for guidance and strength to God, He will surely send his Spirit to allow forgiveness to reign in your heart instead of anger or hatred.
It's just a very heart-lightening experience to forgive.
Happy posting!

There are times and instances that we can easily let go and forgive, and believe me, I did promise myself to forgive her, but everytime I do that, she keep pushing me away, tough eh?
Thanks for your thoughts.

You can forgive her but just stop trying to be a friend to her. It is apparent that she does not want friends; she wants people she can manipulate and use.
Once enough people turn away from her, she may just begin to realize that she has the problem, not everyone else. Hopefully, she will become a better person because of that.

They say it's better to forgive and forget, anyway you have already knew the character of this person and I think you have already cut any relations or whatever communication you have with her. I think we just have to shrugged it off and removed it from our mind because it will bring us any good.
About the lies she told about you, I think your friends knew you better than her and they will not believe easily whatever this girl would have said about you.

Well I will confront her and would tell direct to her face that she is one big liar and she would go to hell because liars do go to hell! I have no patience with liars and all the more those who resort to slander. I don't take matters like this sitting down because I want the culprit to know that she can not easily get away with all the liars she fabricate. she will surely get what she deserved from me!

I wish to have same courage like you do, at this case, I choose to ignore and she better leave me alone in peace.

You definitely need to keep away from this horrible person, torchablazed. She sounds very dangerous and destructive, and is trying to make your life a misery. Anger and hatred is hard to control, but it can make you ill, so the best thing to do is try ignoring this person and staying out of her range. She sounds very jealous and vindictive and doesn't deserve your friendship. Fortunately, your true friends will know the stories she spreads about you are not true.
