Ok, so I had just started college and was having trouble finding my social niche. Eventually I found a group of (male) metalheads that I fit in with perfectly. We became great friends, but one of the boys wanted more than friendship. I insisted we remain friends. Now, not attending college with us, were 2 of their close female friends. They were very snobby and rude around me. After a concert we had attended, the 2 girls spread rumors that I had grabbed one of the guys’ crotches in the pit. Rumors started flying, and now I lost my “friends.” One of the girls’ ex boyfriends had been in the same situation (sort of) and he began talking to me, and we eventually became great friends and we are now dating. Now, the problem is, the guys of that metalhead group are toxic around him, the girls of that group are toxic to me. We see them almost every week at a friend’s band practice, and the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. What should I do to deal with this?
personally I think the best way to get back at someone like that is to be nice to them.. so what there is tension.. smile and say hello like there is nothing wrong, you look like the better person and it will drive them insane.. rumors are just that and as long as you know the truth who cares what they think.. they only did it out of jealousy and it only proves how childish they are so don’t get sucked into acting like them.. ignore them and simply enjoy the music.. sooner or later they will either give up or stop coming to the practice.. they only keep doing it cause they know that they are getting a rise out of you.. good luck
Just act like nothing happened. Be the better person and eventually everything will settle down.
Find the person who spread the rumours and be all like ” dude wtf bro?” And if that doesn’t work, you obviously didn’t mean soo much they can’t just forget about it
start up your own little ‘niche’ ever heard the song skater boy by avril lavine it explains it all :L
