I often see and hear people talking about how they don’t care if others are bullshitting about them. If they really don’t care? Why bother talking about it? Just let it be.
I will call the people who are talking bad - X
The thing that X expects you to do when they say something bad are:-
1. For you to do the same to them – Which you don’t really want to do because it will make you low just like them.
2. Denying it in every possible way – Which to some people it may be the truth since that you are trying your best to say that it’s not true and without proof, there’s nothing much you can do.
3. Say that you don’t care – Of course you will say that! Just to hurt X but in the end it will get back to you because they get to bitch about you and you don’t. It will be very frustrating when that happens.
So, how exactly are we suppose to get even with this kind of people? There are some ways to do it. My personal favourite is to keep myself low and not to reveal so much about my life. After all, I am the one living my life.
This is some ways to get rid of X for good. Remember, before you do anything at all, be very sure of the gossip and is it really about you.
1. Confront X in a very friendly manner and act as if you don’t know that X is the one who talks bad about you and ask them, “Hey, I heard some rumours going on about me being ………, I wonder who started it? Do you think I am that kind of person?” Then, wait for their reaction. The look on their face is enough to make you satisfied.
2. Walk up to X with a smile on you face and give X a big thank you. If they ask you for what, just answer, for making me realize that you are not a good friend, for making me realize what other people think about me, for making me realize that things can come from absolutely no where. There are a lot of things to answer X depending on how you feel.
3. IGNORE. Just pay no attention to these people. By doing just that, you already win. Just leave all the people who are trying to bring you down and move ahead.
“ An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.”
These are all the things that I would do if ever there’s some people who talks bad about me. Although that rarely happen (as far as I’m concern)
Till next time.
