How do you tell a friend to stop gossiping about you. I know she means no harm but it is affecting my family.?

Question

When I confronted her about it she even got mad and said that I should stop e-mailing her.. My e-maols were only for her eyes.

Answer 1

I would express to my friend that what happens to you in your personal life is just that, personal. That you consider her a friend, therefore it is a privelge that she receives when you share with her what happens in your head and in your heart. If she continues to gossip about you, well than I guess she is not the friend you thought she was. My Mom told Me years ago, you will have many many aquaintances in your life but few true friends. If you can count on one hand at the end of your life the amount of true friends that you have, than you are truly blessed to have been able to count them, for true friends, are truly hard to find. Good luck.

Answer 2

Stop an contact with her. That way she will not have anything to gossip about. You dont need friends like that. Your family should realize that what she may be saying is just gossip, be upfront with your family and tell them she is causing trouble. Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

Well she says you should stop emailing her, so give her what she wants. Unless it pertains to vital information, like a party, death , or work related don’t tell her anything about yourself. She probably will notice the lack of personal information you are sharing with her and ask you for some details. But tell her no. Think before you speak to her or email her. Is what you are about to tell her something you want others to know about. If the answer is no you should probably just keep the information to yourself.

Answer 4

Stop telling her anything. She isn't somebody you can trust. And by her saying to stop emailing then she is telling you not to trust her. Go find somebody else to confide in. I had a similar experience and I just stopped telling that friend anything personal. If you have any doubts about trusting somebody with important info then don't tell them.

Answer 5

Well for one thing this person isn't your friend, a friend won't gossip about another friend. And I would stop emailing her, completely stop. If you don't communicate with her she won't have anything to gossip about, lie on you maybe, but that won't be the truth so I wouldn't let her lies bother me.

Answer 6

Since you've already approached her about it, and instead of respecting your privacy she got angry, I'd just make sure that you no longer tell her ANYthing that you don't mind others knowing. Do not make her a confidant in the future, because apparently she can't handle that responsibility.

Answer 7

i hope that this was not a form of Internet cheating gone bad .
if it is then u will have to block her out . and if u don't want to do that then make a new e-mail sit that u can hide from your wife.
but if its just some 1 talking trash about u and it is only trash then just ignore it

Answer 8

First of all if she was truly your friend, she would not be gossiping about you! Find a new friend, with friends like that who needs enemies. Best of luck to you!

Answer 9

Just pull her on the side and try 2 explain how you don't appreciate don't say it in a nasty tone just let her now that you would really appreciate it if she stop for ya ll friendships sake .

Answer 10

if you have to wonder how you should feel about a friend gossiping about you then maybe they aren,t such good friend after all.a true friend would love and support you without telling the world stories of your life.maybe you should reconsider your friend ship with this person
