If someone talks *poo* about you behind your back,
would you want to know,
or would you rather not hear it?

Everytime my friend tells me something said about me, I'd make it a BIG deal. It just bugs me a lot hearing negative things from random people (especially if they act so nice to my face).

I'd rather not know.

[ButterTina]

I got so used to being talked behind my back. But my friends just say it out loud so that it wouldn't really hurt me.
Maybe it's sorta like a joke or what.....

i just listen to it and react on myself secretly. Sometimes..I'd look at the person. If it's negative I'd stay silent. If it's okay...I just smile back at the person.

i really hope my answer counts. hahah!

[miss_vicky]

well to me, it would depend on the person actually. i probably would make a big deal out of it, if i wanna know why they talking the way they talking about me. but sometimes i won't say anything and just look at the person and just let them say it, because karma gets back at you. i hope that helps.

[vi.]

I will always want to know whatever they think or say about me, however I can't gaurenteed i'll be effected by it. More like, curious but don't really care.

[RiderKamen]

It depend on what it is in order to take action and usually I don't care for a whole lot of bs

[NEYUGN93]

I'd want to know.
Right now I'm not on speaking terms with someone
I always ask my friends what shes been saying LOL
*shruggs* I dont care anyways
she can say s.hit abt me all she wants
and it wont affect me at all =)
not like it does anything

[bigbadtommay]

Its better to know the truth than going ur whole life living on a lie.

[meilotus90]

I won't care..that person is probably so worthless that I won't even waste a second thinking about it.

[vip_gd]

people would talk in another language behind my back
i ignore them
so i talk smack about them

[GOOMBA]

I want to know.

Because I want them to get their facts straight, and tell `em if they got something to say, say it to my face.

"Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride." - one of my favorite Buddhist quotes; I know it's a hard task to look up to, nearly impossible to achieve, but I try to avoid letting exterior emotional events and happenings affect who I am and the way I work. If people are going to talk smack behind me, then they can go for it; I won't let it compromise who I am.

It's not nice, and I tend to dis-associate myself from people who talk behind others' backs in negative ways (I see it as OK to discuss friends and people when they aren't around, just with other friends... but talking smack is a different sort of deal).

[dolcedor.]

I wouldn't really care, whether I knew about it or not. It's not something that's worth getting all worked up over is all.

[wonderyana]

It happens a lot to me but
I'll just ignore it.
Yeah..but better to know it
than living in a lie.

"If ignorance is bliss then why aren't more people happy?" Forgot where the quote is from.

[ninyaah]

i'd rather know what they're saying. i'd rather that they say it to my face than behind my back. yes, it will hurt especially if they're saying bad stuff, but at least, you'll be able to know about their reasons.

[peanISclueless]

me....I'd like to know what they talked about me...
then after I know, I'll just hate her secretly...hehe....
then I'll just forget it as time goes by.....

[fuuko-chan]

I wouldn't care about strangers or people who aren't close to me.
They can say whatever they want, I won't be affected at all.
I used to be so affected but now that I think about it, I don't think
it matters if the people who talk crap about me don't matter as well. xp
But if it's my own friends doing the backstabbing, then I'd need to
confront them and tell them to just say those words straight to my face.

[1TYMRMYVZT]

If the ones talking about me behing my back are people that I don't know or that I don't care about, I ignore them because their words are worthless to me. Now, if my friends are backstabbing me, I confront them and tell them to tell it to my face and I get their facts straight. Unless it's something stupid, then I couldn't care less either.

[pureshasu x]

I'm a very shy person so I hate confronting people. I would, in a way, rather not know because if I DO know, then I would have to do something about it.

[emceej]

i rather know if someone is talking about me.
yes, it might bug me for a while but i could careless.
i want to know the truth rather than befriending someone who hates me.
