Backstabbing People

Updated on March 11, 2024

I share my experiences, my emotions and believe in myself. I am positive, confident and love life.

People can be ruthless

You meet people and do not know much about them something that happens daily. Often you would assume they are nice until they turn against you.

Without a second thought, your life can be changed because of that person. I have listened and learned and would not give away my secrets to anyone who I have met in this different lifestyle.

I learned more about the local people by just observing their different characters. People are different in many ways the culture keeps people apart and their mentalities.

What you need to understand is that every person will look for your good side.

I observe and that is my power.

Do you keep attracting the same kind of friends repeatedly, especially, backstabbers?

Has your choice of friends let you down?

You trust the people you work with or your friends but when you fail to do what they ask of you after a while you become a problem to them.

It is like you need a reservation to be with those kinds of people.

You tend to trust people in return expecting to receive their trust, instead, you are manipulated by their poor behaviour.

You should not fall easily into trusting anyone unless you know for sure then again you do not always know for sure.

The mistakes you make allow you to learn further about trust and how to approach other people in relationships.

The friends you choose to have in your life can take advantage of your good nature. They tend to use your kindness against you and hurt you in the process.

All people are not out to hurt you.

Sometimes certain people come into your life and use you as their weak target.

I once had a so-called friend but decided not to have her in my life anymore.

She is no longer my friend, nor my enemy. I just stopped visiting her to keep away from that so-called friendship.

In the beginning, when I visited her, she was nice and sweet. Her false behaviour gave me another impression. The usual laughs and talking pleasantly to me closed my thoughts.

After observing her behaviour. I realized there was no way I could go along with her manipulative mind. She pretended to be nice to me but talked about me behind my back.

I feel pity, for such people, they have such awkward thinking and enjoy hurting others.

I knew the backstabber had no idea how to lay it on me or how to tell what is on her mind. She failed to tell me directly. I saw the jealousy in her and kept away.

It made me feel much better to not have her in my life. She is lazy and very jealous of whatever I have been it is a new outfit or a different pair of shoes somehow that annoys her, and her comments are so ridiculous.

''Oh, nice shoes! ''You dress so well it takes money to dress that way.''

I am better off ignoring such words. I do not let those words get to me it is just a jealous mind and tone. It is so stupid of her to talk like that to me it does not mean a thing about what she does or says I do not care for such people.

I enjoy meeting people being self-employed is a great experience in my summer job in village tourism. She is not capable of taking a chance on that kind of job as I can.

This woman's nature is subtle she has a few friends and the reason most people visit her but not as often as they know her better than I do.

The jealous and manipulative behaviour keeps them at bay. She cannot have what I have that is so amazing for me.

Why is she a backstabber?

Her insecure mind is the cause of her behaviour backstabbing and telling lies makes her feel good.

A backstabber thrives on competition. I have this problem because my lifestyle is modern and lively, and she cannot stand to see the way I live my life.

I always enjoy listening to music and dressing good day and that really gets to her.

In my opinion, I do not care what she has to say about my style of life.

I do what I like and dress the way I want even if that makes her curious. She burns with jealousy, especially when I wear fancy clothing. When attending functions like weddings or parties her eyes pop out even wider.

At some point in your life, you must have come across backstabbers and the most annoying behaviour from a backstabber is they like to talk about you.

I learned to notice backstabbers by the kind of friends they have. in this case, she has friends that are just like her often they get together for coffee and talk about others.

I witnessed how she talks about others with her same kind of friends and thought to myself, ''She talks about others freely together with her kind of friends and talking about me must come very easy.''

They like rumours and enjoy sitting down to get out their harsh words.

Her gossip is always proved by one another.

When people say things, they do not mean and during conversations, certain talks can be spoken of.

Sometimes these words can come up intentionally to let others know what has been spoken. It is exactly how backstabbers work, they intentionally let others know what has been spoken about them in a gossip conversation.

Backstabbers are worthless, with no values of a good character and no pride in how they behave. They look for gossip and find something interesting to talk about it is a thrilling feeling for them.

A backstabber likes to set you up on a mission and likes to see you fail at that mission. I found her behaviour weird at times and at that time did not know why.

She was in the past very nice to me and will not visit for days but when she needs something her sudden change of behaviour tells me something is not right.

The friendly conversations are about her needing something from me.

Socially backstabbers are troublesome and wait to pick on something or someone.

I did not feel taken down by her some people can feel betrayed by backstabbers.

If they are friends for a long time everything can be a toll to take on.

In my case, I did not stay friends with her for a long time. I worked out her manipulative behaviour and shunned her from my life.

Their twisted minds can make you feel down and stressed out use your gut feeling and see for yourself. Trust is not easily built with backstabbers don't fall into their trap.

The web of lies can get your mind worked up. You get the thoughtless people, those who you will not want to have in your life.

There are those kinds of people I try to be with like, my family my best friends in the world.

What is backstabbing all about?

When you call someone a backstabber it means the person is in for gossiping, the greedy kind, the jealous one.

The one who likes playing big games.

There are no signs of healthy behaviour.

Backstabbers only think of what is beneficial to them and not to you.

Be true to yourself and stay calm.

Avoid making a problem and losing your temper that will not work for you.

The best is to put the whole episode behind you and move on. I moved one and found better friends.

Whether you are in the workplace, or at home you are bound to come across backstabbers remain yourself and be confident with the situation.

Choose your friends carefully.

Life is full of experiences and challenges you meet all sorts of people and do not always succeed in relationships or friendships.

You are committed to the choices you make for yourself. In that chosen lifestyle you learn from your mistakes.

Also, it all depends on how you cope with such situations and the way you deal with such people who make a difference in your lives.
