Groups, gossip, witch craft?

[Reisling]

Gossip is believed to be a form of witch craft. The idea to "kill" someone's character, if you will, ostracize, etc...

That said, how does one person disuage the gossip that is said about them by a whole group of person?

For ex...I receive recognition/affirmation from most, but I find the group that is my race *not my ethnicity nor culture* to be over critical of me, to the point, dramatizing any flaw I have. I don't want this to be a problem in the future since that group tends to still hang out five years later.

How can I deprogram or make this behavior go away.

Then why hang out with them? try finding new friends who don't critisize you. I don't keep people as friends if they try to belittle me. It's petty and you don't have to put up with it.

The best way is to make a whole new gossip all of your own.

Sometimes to make it real. Murder of the gossip starter. Thats a good one.
