Never be unduly worried when people hurt you with unkind words and spread rumours about you. They will continue to be manipulative if you do not forgive them and move on. Certain people enjoy seeing others being hurt and suffering by their words.The more you react the worse everything becomes and the whole scenario is blown out of all proportion. Normally the person who is bullying has some unresolved issues of their own that need to be addressed Anyway to cut a long story short remember to never ever let people manipulate with their cruel words. The best thing to do would be to pray for this person to be released from their inappropriate behaviour patterns Image credit - my own art work

Just ignore people that like to gossip. That is what I do.

Just don't bother other people. They love to gossip things out. The more we ignore them, the more they stop talking.

The thought is good. But I feel if everybody hurts, that person knows that he or she hurts. If we hurt them back, he or she stops hurting others fearing retaliation. Which is better?

@dianadee .. True but the evil one is not going to change with loving attitude. How many should hurt before the evil stops? Or may be graduates to next hurtful level perhaps and restarts the round?

Because we are humans, and are emotional creatures and have many shortcomings, we often forget that the only person who can control our emotions is ourselves. So often, we let the words or actions of those around us dictate how we feel. Words hurt only if we let them.

Unfortunately I have come across those people who were my so called friends and there is one person in particular who always loved to make fun of me and put me down. I stopped talking to that person and I can say that I am happier now. I don't need those people in my life.

We all have to work through the difficult people. Not easy most of the time either.

I simply ignore rude people, they do not deserve our attention.

I love your art. I don't hang around people who are cruel, I guess I'm lucky because I don't believe I've met many like that as an adult. Children and young people can be that way. I tend to stick to those with positive attitudes and ignore those who are cruel.

Luckily - touch wood - I don't seem to have been the subject of much gossip over my time.
