okay, yes what you said does make sense. Yes I understand what you said and where you are coming from. Do something for yourself that may help your obsessiveness about the situation (I say obsessive, because I have been in same situations and reacted about the same way). You said people who know you like you....REMEMBER that. And the others who think it is funny to make comments, etc, screw them!!! Strange, you must be really important to these gabbers and gossipers, cause they talk about you so much!!!! Some may say that they are jealous, some may say they are insecure, among many other unhealthy traits. Ignore the B.S. Shine on these people and the ones that listen to them. It may be easier said then done, but do it and dont look back!!!
