Lately it seems I have been subjected to and confronted with some unsavoury, unwelcome and uncomfortable situations.
Unprofessional behaviour.
Rude people.
Mean girls.
Gossip whores.
Liars. Creating mythical situation’s to make themselves seem better?
Nobody likes a liar, a gossip or a whore right? So why does this behaviour persist? And what is to be done about it?
When confronted with malicious behaviour that keeps you up at night, distracts you from your joy and perhaps even costs you friendships or professional contracts what is one to do? When you know lies are being spread, girls are being mean and evil is being done, where do you start? Do you confront these evil people and call them out on their actions? Perhaps you gently sweep their negative behaviour under the rug? Maybe even making excuses for the offenders?
I am a lover, not a fighter. Perhaps it is a weakness that I do not thrive on confrontation, but that is just the way it is. I rest in the knowledge that everyone is fighting their own battle and you truly never know what is going on behind closed doors, but seriously, sometimes don’t you just want to call a mean girl what she is? A bitch.
Time for me to open the door and let the negative people out of my life. Make more room for the joy. Liars will be liars. Gossips will one day be victims of their own game, and let’s face it Karma is a bitch. I shall leave it up to her.
PS. Sorry to be so cryptic, but it’s cheaper then therapy. xo

indeed!
And I think you are delightful 🙂
Rossana says
I am sorry this stuff is happening. It is unfortunate that some women can be so mean because they are feeling inadequate and jealous and are not happy with themselves. You don’t need that kind of negativity. Kick her to the curb!
Gigi says
Kick them to the curb and call it a day.
I just wish I could be around to witness it when Karma comes rolling around to a few that I know…..
Sorry you’re dealing with this – it sucks, I know.
Busy Bee Suz says
I’ve never understood mean people either….so yeah, don’t hesitate to send them on their grouchy, unhappy way!

I’ve made a conscious effort to change some friendships this year. It’s not that I have cut people completely out. It’s just that I’m not making an effort to see them.
Truthfully, I really and truly care if you are gossiping about me or calling me names, but at the same time … sometimes I don’t.
And, really, I think if you push out a positive vibe (like you do) as much as you can, what’s to gossip about?
ChiTown Girl says
Sista, open the door AND all the windows!! That garbage had GOT to go!
Sorry you’re going through crap causes by others. You deserve better. Let our friend Karma take care of it. 😉
Lady Jennie says
Hear! Hear! My life is filled with enough good eggs, I quickly chuck the rotten ones. After all, we’re not desperate!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
There’s no need to subject yourself to any of that, so I’m glad you’re letting the negative people go. 🙂
BeachMama says
Oh my goodness, how could anyone be a bitch to you?!
I will spill my usual bit, jealousy. I truly believe that women (girls) like that are just jealous. You are an amazing woman, gorgeous, successful, kind and generous there is only one reason to be unkind to you at all, well not a real reason but the only one I can think of. Pure jealousy.
Let it roll, I have had to do it many times myself, just let it go and move on. And I do agree, it is cheaper than therapy 🙂 Hugs.
Help! Mama Remote... says
I agree…some people should be shown the exit my life sign. It makes us feel good as a person when everything is over with and we have our character in tack. The know what they’ve done.
Nolie says
I got a fast track door for these kind of people. got no time or patience for them.
Karina says
Good for you! Remember If people talk behind your back it just means they are two steps behind you.
Stay strong, you are awesome 🙂
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says
Amen sista!!
Karma catches up to them – just sayin’.
😉
Brian Miller says
sometimes the best thing you can do is invite them out of your life…
Maria @amotherworld says
Sorry to hear that you’re going through something like this. You’re right though, Karma IS a bitch. My motto is – do good and good will come back. Do bad – well, you will get bad back three-fold!
Keep your head up high and move on.
