How can you stop people from gossiping about you?

Answer 1

Confront them, it doesn't have to be aggressive though. Be calm about it, don't hide and talk about them behind their backs, it'll make it worse. Because the whole things could have been a misunderstanding. Good luck.

Answer 2

Gossip has been happening for years and it will probably never stop. People can gossip about you, but it is all in the way you handle. You can handle it in a way in which you give a gossiper all of your power or you can handle it in a way in which you keep your power. Don't give gossip energy. People make the stupid mistake of believing gossip without being truly sure if it's fact or fiction. A real person would come to you and ask you if such things are true. That's one of the hardest things: being lied on or gossiped about when you know it isn't true and many still choose to believe it. You just have to stay true to yourself and know that regardless, you still are a good person. It's about the confidence and self-esteem and self-validation. People who see that you aren't responding to the gossip are going to try harder and harder to get under your skin. You just have to remain strong. Those who believe gossip about you aren't truly your friend. Those who believe gossip about you whom you don't even know, are just ignorant in the mind and will believe whatever. Remember that you are better than that and don't need that kind of energy around you. That's when you can feel better about yourself and move on to people who truly deserve to be your friends and know the person you really are.

Answer 3

Since they can't be honest with you and discuss their concerns to your face then you be mature enough to face them! Say something like, 'I hear you aren't happy about _________. When you have something to say about me then have the courage to say it to my face and offer some good advice instead of gossiping.' Once you bring the gossip to the forefront then they will back off and some will feel sheepish, but not all.

Punch them in the face
