do you get worked up?

i'm a little conflicted about this. on one hand, my blood pressure shoots through the roof & then on the other, i'm like, well...

I know someone that does this all the time to me.
I don't care though, I mean, I do it too.

I mostly just wish I could hear it. I like to know what people think of me. Possibly foolishly. In fact, it kills me a little that there are some things some people say about me that I will never know. Even though I know they must be saying something. I'd put away a dollar a day for omniscience.

actualy [sic] I have quite a blessed life if I'm honest. I have many people to love, hate few and have few money problem's [sic].... What more does a person need? Oh yeah and I have some kind of humbleness unlike you of course ^_^ ~ CarefulCarpenter

a few years ago someone told me in a nonchalant way that maybe becoming friendly with a specific person may not be the best idea. there was no friend connection between the person that told me and the person that obviously had something to say about me to this someone else. (they were neighbors) if that makes sense...
anyway, i confront and i cut off. yep.

i'm going to see about having it deleted.

You can't have any low-quality threads attributed to you? Your cultural currency will be hurt.

What's so crappy about it?

I think this will be an issue with people until the end of time.

When I was younger and had zero self-esteem, it freaked me out completely when someone talked shit about me behind my back, despite the fact that I could give two shits about the person and I was usually doing the same exact thing to them.

Now, quite honestly, anyone who doesn't have the balls to say something to my face must not be a friend of mine, because my friends and I are very upfront with each other.

Hence, they aren't worth one iota of my time. Therefore, they merit nothing more than one of these.

i think it doesn't matter. it's best to be neutral about it

I admit, it gets to me somewhat. But I am the center of the universe in my own mind, so it's not all that surprising when it happens. I just like to have the opportunity to defend myself. Even if it IS true....and it usually is....

This is one time where age is a definite advantage. That is, if you manage to learn from your mistakes and grow up... Things start going into perspective.

You really can't control someone who doesn't have the balls to step up and say stuff to your face. It's really their problem and they're the asshole, not you. (then again, who has the upper hand when you run into the talker?? YOU! why? they are weasels and they know it).

It's really hard to feel that way though, when the subject matter pertains to you and it's not exactly nice things spewing from their piehole.

Just know who you are and own it because there's nothing you can do about other insecure people.

i don't care. i know who i am, i know who my real friends are and they're not the ones who talk shit behind my back. there'll always be someone with no life talking behind my back.. it amuses me to find out what they've come up with and i'm pleased to make their boring life a little more interesting.

it makes me resent them. I don't care what they say, if it's true or not, what their opinion is on something, how good of friends we apparently are, i just don't wanna hang out with them. and most of the time when you SUSPECT someone talking behind your back, they are doing it, unless you're really a paranoid person. I don't need people like that to worry about in my life, I have enough good people around me so I'm not gonna waste my time on a useless relationship. if you have something to say, as harsh as it is, say it to my face or don't say it at all. I say stuff behind people's backs too, but I'd tell them EVERYTHING in their face if they're a friend of mine.

Everybody vents, but close friends usually come out with it eventually.
If it is't someone I love I don't particularly care.
That said sometimes I realise the behind the back was right and I reflect and sometimes change my views or actions.

i get pissed off when people wont just say stuff to my face
but im guilty of it too, so i cant complain too much

i hate when i find out people are saying things about me, mostly because i try to be so honest with everyone. i dunno. not in a mean or critical way, but if someone is bothering me i'll say something and i expect people to do the same with me. how can you expect someone to act any differently if they never know there's an issue?

I'm a lot like this. Thanks for articulating my inner psyche so I don't have to, bort. I probably do have an interest in what they say, but not so much so I can judge them, but more so that I can understand how I project myself.

People will always talk about people. I had to accept that a long long time ago. I let it roll.
