What would you do if you had a harmless, but uncomfortable encounter with someone you don't know, and you found out they were telling people about the situation? Their friends are giving you dirty looks, and laughing when you walk past. The person you had the incident with barely looks your way when they see you, but when their friends are around, they participate. What would you do? I've tried to forget the situation and let it go--it's something I'm not ashamed of, but certainly not proud of either--but this person is keeping it going by possibly slandering my name. What do I do, especially because the only thing I can base it on is the fact that her friends are be disrespectful toward me? Right now ignoring it seems like the best thing to do, but I've been ignoring it for months. What advice can you give me to control myself when ignoring the situation becomes old? I feel like the time is near and I don't want to do something else I will regret.

I'm sure you all would love to hear the details, but I'm trying to put it behind me. I guess the best I could do is tell you that it was a weird situation that was blown out of proportion. I've never had the opportunity to tell my side of the story, but something that happened between me and this person, somehow got around to more people, and now they shake their heads when they see me or give me dirty looks. If you can't help for lack of details, that's fine with me. Thanx anyway. :o)

The point is this person dragged other people into a private, silly situation, and is making me look bad. The question is, do I just ignore it?

TALK. that's the best solution i can give you. ignoring the situation will not make it go away, hun. in fact, it will make you feel worse about it. you have to talk to the person. of course.... calmly if you can retain your anger. haha. ask her what she has against you to make her spread your business to everyone else. ask her why her friends are treating you badly too when they apparently all dont even know you. then tell her how all that makes you feel. if this person is unapproachable and doesnt seem to want to change after having this talk, then brush it off girl. move on. and if they continue to act indifferent towards you, just walk away. those people are just acting childish and completely immature. you dont need those kind of people to make you feel inferior. you dont need this stupid drama. and most importantly, you dont need to be constantly disrespected. in time, these people will put their attention on someone or something else. but until that time comes, just remember that you want to be the bigger person. dont even stoop down to their level because people like them arent even worth your time. good luck! =)

You could try asking why are you shaking your head and act like you don't know, Do this when it is only one person, then you may find out what she has said and have a chance to tell your side of it. If what they say is close to the truth own up and say yes then say and ? Once you own it they won't be able to bug you any more.
