+211 Why do people think it is important to tell you about the little insults people are saying about you behind your back? I don't want to know. I'm happier not knowing. amirite?

It sucks because I want to know, but I also don't want to know. I'm curious, but I don't know if it's worth the pain and suffering.

Maybe the think it'll make you better yourself or something, I dunno. Or when it's your friend saying this insults behind your back, I do kinda think it's important you know so you can quit talking to that person.

I want to know because it lets me know that someone out there is jealous of me enough to talk about me when I'm not around.

In 7th grade my 2 "friends"(one was more a bully than a friend) told me that nobody in the class really liked me and that the other girls were talking about it in the bathroom. That hurt.

My "best friend" in 5th grade told me she didn't understand why people liked me even though I was ugly and annoying. That hurt, too. And that b*tch stole my teddybear.

When I was in grade 8 there was a girl that liked me. Let's call her Laura. Laura was a nice girl, but was never really my type so I just tended to ignore her. One day at lunchtime I walked up to my group of friends, which included Laura, and one of them said, "Do you have anything to say for yourself?". I looked around perplexed and replied, "...no?". And with that my friends returned to eating their lunches. Confused, but thinking nothing of the incident I finished my lunch and followed everyone outside. This was where it got weird, my group of friends didn't seem to be listening to me and every time I tried to join their conversation they would split off and reform their group elsewhere. Looking back on it I realize that something was obviously up, but my grade 8 self thought nothing of it and went off to play wallball with some other kids. Finally near the end of lunch one of my friends came up to me and said that she was sorry for shunning me all day, but that she couldn't believe that I'd called Laura fat. I had done nothing of the sort and defended myself, and eventually I learned that another girl who liked me had started the rumour so I'd be all hers. Crazy times.

Regina said nobody likes you because you're a slut. You didn't hear it from me.

School's here are primary school - grades 1 to 7 and high school - grades 8 to 12. I was in the same primary school all 7 years. In primary school I was really quiet and shy. I came top in all my classes without working too hard and I was always reading. I wasn't the type to be unkind or to make fun of someone for getting a mark worse than mine, I was just the only one who would much rather keep to myself and read than run around screaming and playing. I was also really pale and I had acne from grades 3 to a little after grade 7. In short, I was different. In grade 1 I hung around with a girl I thought was my friend, until one day she asked why I was following her so I started being alone at break. In grade 3 I met a girl in my class. She was actually quite stupid (I don't mean that in a rude way or that she didn't do well at school - she had the brains, she just didn't care to use them) and not very kind but she and I were the only non-sporty ones and I needed someone, so we became friends. At the end of grade 6 I moved overseas, against my will (my family moved).

It wasn't a very good decision my parents made and I always knew I'd come back. I stayed there 3 months before coming back. Because my older sister and I were known by the principal for doing well academically, I went back to my old school even though I had missed an entire term. The girl I was friends with told me that when our teacher announced to the rest of class I'd be returning, they all booed and complained. I'm glad I found out because it showed me who my true friends were (even though that "true friend" became a real bitch later), and I wouldn't have looked like a fool being nice to the people who hated me.

TL; DR? It's better to know who your true friends are rather than being nice to someone who says awful things behind your back.

I remember I read this somewhere, you've all probably heard it but it goes, "What someone thinks about you is none of your business."
