JAKARTA – Having a group of friends can be fun, but it's annoying to have friends who like to talk behind their backs. It would be wise not to attack or drop, this attitude can be responded to in an elegant way.

Not angry and attacking

This is not about 'lose and win' but a way of negotiating with someone who is unfair or prefers to talk behind their backs. Responding to dishonest people in front of you, of course, will not end with anger and counterattack.

If what is being discussed is not important and harmful, try to ignore it for a while.

Consider sources

Because talking behind your back, it means that someone is passing on information about you. There may be correct information, there may be some parts that are redundant or not true to reality.

Then consider all the information about you that the person is talking about. You also need to consider the character of the person who actually does it.

Facing them

Dealing with people who talk behind your back is the most responsible way. Do it calmly and be in control of your emotions and the conversation that is taking place.

Dont worry

Even though in a smile he is a friend, but you can ignore whatever he does or his actions talk behind his back. Life is too beautiful to take seriously people who don't value friendship.

Looking for new relationship

If it's about business, try to find new relationships. This method is done to show that what people are talking behind is not entirely true. This is the best way, apart from pushing yourself for more.

Act more mature

Getting angry and being childish is not the solution. Precisely because of being mature, you can move from bad assumptions without considering it a heavy burden.

Be stronger

The upside of responding to people behind your back in an elegant and non-confrontational way is that it makes you stronger. Isn't the taller the tree the stronger the wind blows? So, be positive and make sure not to make the mood worse.

Focus on the positive

If you have a friend who likes to talk behind your back, once you've known him for a while you'll know how to deal with it. But it is advisable to stay focused on the positive, responding to negative things with high emotions will not nourish your own body and mind.
