Looking for advice with friends and gossip
I'm still in school and I’ve got some solid friends at school, but there are a few people in my circle who gossip nonstop. As a Christian, I avoid that, and honestly despite faith it just wrecks relationships anyway, no one likes to be talked about behind their back. They talk about everyone, and other people have started pointing it out to me, so it’s not just in my head, though I don't think they take it as seriously as I believe they should. The problem is the talking people are super social and have a lot of influence. They’ll turn someone’s mistakes into conversation material just for fun without any regards of the persons reputation or feelings. And if I’m not on good terms with them, I end up being the one they talk about — which obviously isn't good. I get the whole “don’t care what people think,” but when they nitpick literally everything I do, it gets more complicated then that. So now I’m trying to figure out what to do. Do I stay friends with them? Do I distance myself? Do I cut them off? It’s tricky because my school is small, and no matter what, I'll still see them every day for a decent chunk of time.
