A friend who says bad things about everyone.

You can rest assured she must be doing the same thing talking bad things about you. I am impressed that you are not the type that talks ill about others. It is good that you are trying to drift away from this friend.

well there are really some people who can not be trusted. even sometimes give enough chances of trusting seems a failure for them. I wonder how they sleep at night. spilling every thing about every one. This person might be scary.. and in the brink of ruining relationships

I'm already done with her since I found out that she does told our other friends about me making her own story. I can't stand having friends like her that I can't trust with my secret. I know she's been a friend when times I needed most and I appreciated her for that but I did not expect that she will also betray me.

at the end of the day,one thing is for sure, we are human afterall with all the inadequacies and shortcomings of being just a normal person, nobody is perfect. Look at responses, the person in question is already prejudged and deemed to be a gossip worthy mean person on the strength of your posting alone, and they ? do not even know who they are passing judgment on personally, is that fair,? i am not one to say , just thinking, how easy it is to comment on perceived shortcomings about a person, which i think is probably the reason why your friend likes gossiping. Seems that good things about people are not worth talking about. Everyone gets interested if it is about something nasty about another.. I have always thought that gossiping is a very natural thing for ladies due to the emotional or psychological make up that differentiates between the genders. Men tend to be more reserved,ladies speak with their emotions 1st. Gossip can be exxagerated especially if it is about character flaws but i draw the line when it borders on pure mean spirited character assasination. I have heard mean vicious gossip before spread because of spite or envy or revenge. Many of which turns out to be fabrications or a huge exxageration over a small thing blown out of proportion. People like to believe nasty things they hear without bothering about what is really the facts.. so sad but it is human nature..

oh yes, I have the same experience with a so called friend, we do not talk to each-other anymore, to be honest i dont want to see her.. its good that you caught her real color so early and what you are thinking to do further is absolutely right, which i couldn't do and lost so many good friends because of her..she created so much misunderstandings which couldn't be solved yet..

Actually, I avoid these kind of people for in time they will say bad things to you as well and will stab you at your back. It is contagious too so it is better to avoid them or tell them that what they are doing is bad.

Hmmm...makes me wonder what happened to cause her behavior to change. I completely understand your concern, about what she might be saying about you behind your back, as she does the same to her other friends. It would indeed be wise of you to keep some stuff private.

yes. i have had friendships that changed throughout the years. it wasn't the same anymore and we moved forward. you find out who is your real friends and those who are not by their actions and words. i'm glad i found out. i don't need that in my life.

I don't think that a friend that says bad things about everyone truly makes them a friend to be counted on. There may come a time when that friend may turn on you and you will be the one that is said bad things about instead.
