What will you do?

Such things have happened to me many times! Of course I wouldn't feel good about being badmouthed, etc. But I have learnt that it's useless to defend myself (People might think that I am being defensive, etc.) and so I would rather not be too bothered by all the badmouthing, etc. As long as my conscience is clear, I wouldn't want to dwell on such unhappy stuff.

If one of my friends tell bad things about me, which is not true I will confront them with it. Also if they tell around what I told in private. If it's true that person is no longer a friend of mine. Roommate it's the same. A co-worker is harder. I would confront that person with it if it really is a very bad thing. If not I ignore it.
