In reality, there are people whom you think are your friends because they are good to you. They treat you nicely with all appreciation of the good works that you have done. But unfortunately at your back, they are uttering bad words against you. Unfortunately I am one of their victims... How are you going to deal with this kind of people? How are you going to deal with these backbiters?

I am sorry to hear that people treat you this way. I understand what you are saying because I have been in this situation as well. I tend to ignore them and not go out of my way to talk to them. I would tell them that until they can be respectfull of you that they do not need to talk to you. That is what I have done and I would encourage you to do the same. We are all special people and do not deserve to be treated that way.

I don't deal with these kind of people. I believe they are just a waste of time. But it's really sad to know that you have been so good to them yet they are the ones who will pull you down. For me I just neglect this bad feedback they spread about me. I'd rather put my time in which I benefit and learn.

This situation exists from time immemorial. People talk one in your presence and talk another in your absence. just keep yourself away partially at least from such bad people.

What I can suggest to you is to confirm first if the things that are coming to your attention are really true. If that is a yes, then the next logical thing to do is to talk to that person to clear things up. If talking does not produce any positive result, then double your effort to win the hearts of others that you know are not yet influenced by the one backbiting you. As long as you know deep within yourself that you are not the person that the backbiters are trying to insinuate, then I think you should not be affected at all. Those backbiters are just few compared to the true friends that I know you'll be having :)

I think you will always know if someone is being genuine to you. I don't know but for me, I have always this little thing that seems to irk me about them even though they are very good to me on the outside. The best thing you can do is just to ignore them and not include them in your life. Surround your self with people who truly cares for you, and it is not all about the quantity of people but the quality of it.

Oh I hate these kinds of people. However, we do not have control on how others perceive us as a person. What we are in control of is our reaction to them. The best way to fight them is to ignore them. If they are your 'friends' then do not hang out with them anymore. Try to improve yourself and do your best in your endeavor in order to prove to them that whatever they are saying about you behind your back is wrong. Those kinds of people want attention and you should not be giving that to them.
