Should I bother with friends who believe malicious gossip without discussing it first?
This happened to me years ago, this one woman was hell bent on saying one thing to me and differently to other people. It got to the point where I asked my friends what was going on and they told me. So I confronted her and to be honest she didnt have an answer. Sometimes people get jealous when you get on well with people and sadly these people can cause you so much trouble. I basically said to my friends, you know me well but if you want to believe so and so then its up to you. That way you know where you stand and who your friends really are.
It sounds like way too much drama, and you would be better off finding a new circle of friends. Life is too short for such stress, and if they won’t discuss what is bothering them with you so that you can take the needed steps to resolve any conflicts, then you need to move on and find some real friends. Let them find out how it feels to let a good friendship go to waste over something stupid and petty.
