How would you feel if people would be talking behind your back?

Some people enjoy discussing the misfortunes of other people. To make it more interesting, they exaggerate. This gives them the illusion of superiority, but which actually is a show of bad manners. I'd ignore these kind of people and not give them the satisfaction of being bothered by their actions.

Well, there are people which never consider other mistakes. They don't even notice about their own dirt... They have more to do but most importantly for them is to talk about the dirt of others...

All this shows is you may grow old but many Never grow up! I don't have many female friends Because I don't talk about people like this. And ever since I was in Elementary school, I was talked about . and al I did was ignore them Totally. Which means if they were in front of me I saw No One!

These are such petty people. The question is .. what would THEY feel like if their daughter or THEY were being talked about like they were talking? I bet they wouldn't like it one little bit! The way I see it, what goes around comes around. They probably have some skeletons in their closets they don't want anyone to know about. I think .. if they continued to stand I would tell them "no loitering in this store"... and get them out. They are just taking up space from people who will spend money in your store. As for me... this has happened to me before, and I turned it on them. I let them know I heard them, and I went, "what did you say about me?" She called me a 'whopper' to her friend.. and she was fat herself! I've lost 100 pounds since then... I was very big, but that was no reason for her to say something. I proceeded to tell her that she was certainly the pot calling the kettle black, because she was over 300 pounds herself! She goes "Whatever, whatever.. bla bla bla".. and she and her friend went on about their business. I was in Quality Foods grocery store when that happened. I've not shopped in that store since.

Hi! Yes it most certainly would annoy me if I found out that someone was talking about me. As I don't gossip, I find it sad that others do as if they have nothing better to do with their time such as perhaps helping the girl? If someone was talking about me behind my back, I do hope to learn what they are saying and see if I can be better than they expected. Such as if I'm a few pounds overweight, not only lose the weight but perhaps a bit more and show how happy I am in having done so. If they still find fault, then it is THEY who have the problem, not I. Hope you'll have a pleasant day!

It sounds irritating. I also notice that many people nowadays love talking about things with no importance or shouldn't be talked about at all. I wonder what they get by doing that.I would rather not talk at all or keep quiet with someone than to talk about those kinda things.They are just wasting their energy and time. If I know that someone talks about me when I am not around,I will feel very bad especially if that person who talk about me is someone I truly trust.

I think...its a fact of life people are going to talk no matter what you do. If it bothers you when other people do it about yourself then you need to make a habit of not doing it to other people. The thing also is...even when its good news and people talk about you theyre still talking behind your back. Id rather people talk about true things about me rather than making up stories.

I guess some people have nothing to talk about...they probably live a very lonely life I have noticed this my self quite often...I Am an older person my self and so are my friends but we do not indulge in such conversations we still remember how we were when we were young! and you know what? we were no different! every one is entitled to its own mistakes that is the way to learn! at the end of the day we are quite a liberated old lot! ...we were teens in the 60's we threw our bras out the window for goodness sake!

Yes, people love to gossips, about people around them. Like what is happening in showbusiness where celebrities are being talked behind their backs. I don't listen to those kind of people and ignore them as well. I also wonder how they never get tired of talking and talking for long hours instead of doing household works and mind their own business.

I wouldn't be angry if I knew my friend talked about me behind my back. I wouldn't think of any of it and didn't care about as well. Well, I have some sort of things that I need to do and I didn't want to waste my time to just deal with people who could only have a nerve to make a gossip about me from behind. That's awful.

I would be very mad at them knowing they are talking behind my back. Those kind of people don't deserve to be respected. Sometimes they are not being careful with what they are saying.

I would be so devastated! Girls love to gossip and I go to an all girl's school which is even worse! My group of friends love to gossip about each other and talking behind each other's backs. That's why my group sometimes have mini fights and it annoys me a lot as the fights are usually over stupid things. Once tension happens, my friends would seek other friends in the group to back stab anther person and I'm usually there to hear it. I have never caught my friends back stabbing me because I have nothing against them because I try not to cause any issues between our friendship. But some of my friends are pretty stubborn and want to get angry. Getting worked up and angry will cause your friends or people who know you to back stab you. That's why I try very hard to avoid getting angry at my friends and treat them normally like any other day. But if I caught them gossiping about me, I would be very angry. But it's what keeps women going with all this juicy gossip.

I not feel bad if people are telling behind me but I have no such habit I always told in front of person. Some people has danger habit in front of person told good words and after going told wrong words.

The thing that I hate is the person who behave like this..I like to open my heart to the all people and will not find time to blame others or talk about others negatives..I had an experience before 4,5 months from my best friend..She was all to me...I shared the all things with her..But she cheated me..I had a friend..Means boy friend...We were just friends..I said this to her and she will be there with me while I speak to him..She will behave in a decent manner in front of me..And after few days, I knew that she said some thing wrong about us..I was shocked and I didn't believe that..But I knew some other matters she said to other people...I understood that while that people asking such things in front of me...Then I realized her and left...I cut the friendship with her...And now I am really happy...She is trying to know my matter by some one else...I knew that and refused them.... :-)

hello davaome, This is nothing new.........talking behind peoples back is one of the weaknesses of human nature and you cannot do anything about it. In simple word this is called gossiping and I think everybody does , specially women. . We should not pay attention to such useless waste of time. If I was at your place, what would irritate me more is that they are standing in my shop and talking.......I would tell them please if you just have to talk, I request you to step out of my shop and then you can gossip there whole day , I don't care. Ii irritates me when people are around me and gossiping nonsense..I tell them to leave.First I request, then I shout.

davaome if thats all those middle aged women have to do I feel sorry for them and the people they are tearing apart. more harm is done by stupid gossip than people think. and a lot of times it is not even true which makes them liars and fools too.If they were talking behind my back I would walk over and say"if you have nothing better to do than talk about me you do need to get lives ladies?"It would really upset me but I would not let them know that at all.They are pathetic because they must not have much in the upper story or else all their synapses were not firing. little brains make petty small talk.

It really does irritate me, when people do talk behind my back. It's really not something that I like. I don't understand why people feel the need to do so. It can hurt people, when others do this.

Well, i just heard about neighbor talking to their friend who do something bad,and also daughter.. I think is a gossiping,you care and talk to the person,but you don't look your action...people judge quick,but not thinking if they will be like them in the future..looking others mistakes but not their own..

Gossipers. Hmmmn I also hate people like them. 'Though we know it is just normal to talk about people. But I don't think it's good letting others hear what they're talking about. They should at least go somewhere where only the two of them can hear. And that is not their problem anymore. It is the pregnant neighbor's problem. Whatever she want's do with her life, she only has the right to judge herself.

They are good in gossiping and nothing else. I just hate such people whose other people's business is theirs to handle. I cannot stand such bunch of idlers. I find them quite annoying.
