How do you handle

When a friend or even an aquaintence stabs you in the back?

Do you deal with it and just ignore them?
DO you confront them?
Do you give as good as you get? And seek some fun revenge?

Re: How do you handle

In the past i have cut ties with people like that....i am not the type who takes revenge. I just think I don't need the negativity in my life and I move on.

Re: How do you handle

I'm awful with confrontation with most people, so chances are I don't say anything and gradually cut ties with the person.

Re: How do you handle

I confront the person, i hate hipocrats.

Re: How do you handle

Confront. I hate when people try to get away with doing evil sh!t to a "friend"...and sometimes a little revenge too

Re: How do you handle

At this point in my life, I would confront the person.. I cant say I would have done the same a long time ago. Over the years, I have taken less crap and have no patience for things like that anymore.

Re: How do you handle

depends on whats going on.
Sometimes I stab them right back
sometimes I confront them
and others I just cut ties with them forever.

Re: How do you handle

Really depends on the situation and the person. But I tend to cut ties as discreetly as possible so I won't incite them to do anything worse. Some people can be CRAZY!

Re: How do you handle

I have usually confronted but....IMO that would just start a back and forth BS. Something that i am just NOT TOO into...Plus usually there is a screw a little loos and confrontation never ends well

Re: How do you handle

Generally I will confront them, tell them they are being !@#%$^$s and then cut ties. But I've been fortunate enough for that to not really happen with anyone important except once.

Re: How do you handle

I definitely confront them. I did with the 1st friend I lost. She took it as a joke, denied it, and was shady... so I cut her off, because it was pretty effed up.

Re: How do you handle

it all depends on the situation, and the person involved.

sometimes it's good to confront and get it all out in the open, and sometimes you just have to consider where the back stabbing is coming from, and say to yourself, "IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH IT!!"

eta: but sometimes a little revenge isn't so bad!!

I cant really remember it happening recently, but when I was in 10th grade my best friend did and I didnt speak to her ever again. I just ignored her. I think I would handle it the same way still but blow up first.
