How to handle people who twist your words around and talk behind your back

It seems as if we all know someone like this. You talk to them, and then you hear from someone else what you said, only now it's completely different! People that twist others' words around and basically fabricate the truth have a different perception of reality. And you need to stay away from them if you can. If you can't, don't talk about anything deeper than the weather, or what you had for lunch. They are bad news, and you want nothing to do with these types of people.

SwtAznQt--Your younger cousin is looking for attention. Just talk to her a little more. And can you make a move laterally in the company, so that this co-worker is no longer your boss? Sounds like she is on some kind of power trip.

@Igaganminaj--They probably will deny, deny, deny. So, I wouldn't say anything. Just know who you are dealing with, and be very careful around these types of people. Don't tell them anything you don't want the world to know, and keep a healthy distance.

@altboucers3--Really tune into who you are talking to. Everyone has issues, good moods and bad moods, especially at work. So, I would keep the conversations surfacy, or non-existent with people you know are extra sensitive. With them, stick only to work related matters. You really don't want to get too personal with anyone. I know that makes for boring conversation. But keep the lively chats for your friends outside of the office.

Whether it's your best friend or a family member, you've got to distance yourself. I know it's hard. But eventually other people will realize what this person is all about. If they are talking behind your back, they are talking behind others'. These people's true colors will come out, sooner rather than later.

What if the person who "twists your words" is your best friends?

Would love to see a video on how to ask your boss to stop interrupting every time. Before you are halfway through your sentence, she cuts you off. You end becoming a fast talker in hopes to beat her from cutting you off. Help.

@mariedubuque I agree. I've had to learn that lesson the hard way.

daily occurence in my life. actually, almost every negative thing youve ever covered happens daily in my life, in my workplace specifically. i know everyones job "is the worst" but well, enough said. in the end i got laid off due to "cutbacks" and "restructuring" and the funny part is, during the meeting where they laid me off (due to lack of funds) the manager came in and discussed the management trip to Florida, in front of me.

Company funded, all expenses paid.

BUT.. youve helped a lot!

Thank you so much for the advice :) I had friends who talked behind my back because I was always quiet and I finally found a really good friend who understands

[jimbolightningy]

The people who twist your words are the people you go with and you dont talk for the whole night because you knwon they will repeat what you say and twist it into a lie

[phototrek1]

Yep, I have an insane co-worker at my job. I avoid at all costs and if by some weird chance we need to talk. I make sure there are witnesses too counter accusations from this twisted person. Its the only way to deal with him.

[LegendarySayayin]

Ahhh.... For me, its just a matter of time to find the correct person....

Thank you so much! Keep posting vids like this, I really like them!
