too much gossip

<p>How do you guys deal with people that are nice to you in the face but otherwise talk bad about you behind your back? I know the most obvious answer is to just ignore it, but what if I care about what others really say about me and sometimes others just make me look unlike what I truly am? or is this all a high school thing and will get better once you get into college?</p>

<p>Talking trash about people behind their back is mostly a high school thing. Word spreads fast in dorms, but it's usually all true stuff (still might not be stuff you want out, but at least they aren't making up crap about you). People in college aren't really concerned about looking better than others by making the others look bad. In high school, well, you just deal, basically. Trust me, I had people talking sh-- about me all 4 years but you just keep thinking, "I'll be out of here soon enough and never have to see these biotches again."</p>

<p>That stuff doesn't happen in college. And if it does, screw it. There are many more important things to worry about in life.</p>

<p>Women...can't live with them, can't live without them.</p>

<p>Depends on what kind of trash... responses can range from just *****ing about them to your real friends for minor cases, to nailing their dog to their door in the most extreme situations.</p>

<p>Its really a matter of discretion.</p>

<p>Scorpio, don't associate with them if possible at all. Be careful of what you say if you have to deal with them. Then those kinds of people will always find something negative to say about you because their mind is twisted. I had a friend like that. She always finds something negative about any person or situations. I know her outlook is twisted so badly and sometimes she does to manipulate others, too. As kilksy said it is always there. Just remember to make good friends with people who don't talk badly of others. You can guarantee they will talk badly about you if they normally talk badly of others.</p>

<p>Or, conversely, you could just not jusdge people. Some people are just asses like that. If their good qualities outweigh the bad, then just accept them for who they are.</p>

<p>Dude, you've got better flies to nail than that. You can choose to never see those people again when you move to a different living space next year.</p>

<p>Unless you guys live in the same space. Lol, then it might be more like high school.</p>

<p>It does happen in college somewhat, but there's not anything you need to stress about. There will always be small minded people who feel it necessary to discuss other people, instead of minding their own business.</p>
