Top ten comebacks for a gossip

Do you have a friend who gossips about you or other people? It can be beyond hurtful to find out that someone that you thought was a good friend is talking about you behind your back. Be careful who you trust. If someone talks about others with you, they will certainly talk about you with others.

We have all been taught we shouldn’t talk about people behind their backs, but some people can’t help themselves and constantly talk negatively about others.

Jared was friends with a girl in high school. He had been warned that Clarissa was a gossip, but he thought she seemed nice. He found out during the summer that she had been spreading rumours that he was gay even though he had never told her such a thing and liked girls. Jared realized he could not be friends with such a toxic person and distanced himself from her. He was still in a tennis club with Clarissa, so he couldn’t avoid her completely. He heard from coaches and others that she had been saying horrible and shocking things about him that weren’t true. The funny thing is that in time, people found out who she really was and nobody liked her. She kept repeating the same pattern.

If you get tired of being contaminated by the gossip’s poison and want them to stop, here are a few things you can say to let the gossip know that you don’t want any part of it.

If you have a problem with me, tell me, not everyone else.
It doesn’t bother me that you talk about me behind my back. What bothers me is you don’t get all your facts right.
What’s that? You heard a bunch of stuff about me from someone who hates me? That MUST be true!
If it’s not your story to tell don’t tell it.
I never judge someone by the opinion of another.
If you didn’t hear it with your own ears, or see it with your own eyes. Don’t invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
Rumours, carried by haters, spread by fools and accepted by the ignorant.
The crap you heard about me might be true, or it could be as fake as the person who told you.
Rumours, I found cut so much about myself didn’t’ even know.
If it doesn’t involve you it shouldn’t concern you.

by Leave a Comment

If someone close to you is feeling sad it can be disheartening. There’s nothing worse than seeing a friend or a loved one in pain and feeling down.

In life, there will be peaks and valleys, when a person is in a prolonged valley life can be particularly challenging. We all experience times in our life when things don’t work out as planned to leave us feeling down in the dumps.

It is important to remember when you are feeling sad is that the challenging times are not permanent, even if they may feel so at the time. When you overcome the obstacle you are currently facing you will stretch as a person and be able to take on future challenges.

It’s in the dark times that we find out who we really are and what we are truly capable of achieving. Unfortunately, growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones. Hard times also reveal who is really there for us and who sticks by us in tough times. The sad times won’t last but the growth from challenging situations will last a lifetime.

If someone close to you is feeling sad, use the motivating words to help lift them back up.

Don’t ruin a good day thinking about a bad yesterday. Let it go.
Not to spoil the ending for you but everything is going to be OK.
You will never be truly happy if you keep holding on to things that make you sad.
Waiting for someone else to make you happy is the best way to feel sad.
If you are in the wrong story, leave!
Chuck it in the f*ck it bucket and move on.
Focus on the things you can change and let go of the things you can’t.
There is no reason to look back when you have so much to look forward to.
At some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not your life.
Some days you have to create your own sunshine.

What to say to someone who puts you down

by 76 Comments

Have you ever been around someone who keeps putting you and others down and making snide comments? The critic sees fault everywhere they look, yet they fail to see their own limitations. A truly happy, confident person doesn’t feel the need to make everyone around them feel like crap. The problem isn’t with you. It’s with the toxic person who tries to act superior but truly feels inferior underneath it all.

I had a job once working for a crazy person She would boost one person up telling them that they were wonderful, and she would pick another person to simultaneously terrorize. Janice, my mean-spirited boss, would freak out about minor things and badmouth other staff members, all while wasting tons of company money.

One outstanding staff member went way beyond the call of duty and did a great job for her. When she left the company, Janice gave her the worst reference I have ever heard, full of personal insults and put-downs.

Well, there is justice in this world because Janice was fired, and her sorry ass was removed from the company. They finally figured out why there was so much staff turnover when the CEO brought in a friend to work for him and he shared what had been going on. Being condescending and putting others down didn’t end well for Janice. Karma turned around and kicked her in the ass.

If you get tired of someone putting you down and bringing you down, here are some clever comebacks to let them know they need to back off.
