if someone decides to be a gossip - allow that person to enjoy his/her stupidity,

if someone hears something about u & decides to believe it without consulting u - allow that person to nurture dab baby python he/she just consumed to maturity,

if someone hears stuff about u & decides to ask u about it - embrace that person, tell him/her da truth and encourage that person to continue using his/her senses

word


Thank you

anthonyuncle:

HRHQueenPhil:
Change your mentality to an I don't care type
U av better things to do than trying to change pple perspective abt u.
If u are still bothered, talk to the person and explain urself

i think in this case,the I don't care mentality will work because some people will never change and besides they know what they doing


Thank you very much though

Bismillah

Assalamualaikum

How do you deal with gossips

Especially the one where people who don't even know you or has never met you has a very wrong misconception about you because of what they heard

How should one deal with gossips

Good day guys!


Please share with us how you deal with gossips in your neighborhood.

Do you stop talking to them and mind your business?

Do you clarify things up?

How do you do it,let us know!

anthonyuncle:
wow!

plz tell ur mum to neglect that woman and focus on her business.

tell her to also know that her customers are not (& must not be) her friends

thank you

But I thought it's healthy to build a relationship with your customers?

ABOVEDELAW:
THEN THE WOMAN IS LOOKING FOR TROUBLE AND SHE WILL SEE IT,

God will help us

Thanks

ABOVEDELAW:
TELL HER TO DIVERSIFY TO OTHER ITEMS WHICH THE WOMAN IS NOT SELLING.

thank you very much

That's what she's planning on doing,buy you know you should only sell things that's in demand if not it'll waste

And what if the other woman copies her again

anthonyuncle:
am still trying to understand how ur mum that does not talk or hear is telling people about da other woman

there's a way people communicate especially people who has known her for awhile

This is real pain

frozen70:
Don't worry, she will take to your corrections with time

thank you

NoToPile:
She should Ignore the other woman joor and stock up her shop more, also she should stop telling people the woman is selling what she sells( its true she is but she should stop talking about it)


That's how street selling can be sometimes, if its in the market where they are all on the same line its a different ballgame entirely.

Thank you,that's what I'd tell her

Asin,street market ehn,things like this don't happen in general markets

frozen70:
Pls clarify this statement where you say your mum does not talk or hear in the first paragraph

Teach your mum how to mind her business and stop any side talk if not she will ruin her business herself because some one is already competing with her

Women have always been their own enemies

She's deaf

I've told her that already

armyofone:
Let her focus on making beautiful hair styles for her clients - help her advertise for customers and forget about petty competition selling sweets/candies.

Thank you though

It's street so the hairdressing business is not that booming that's why she sells provisions

Good afternoon everyone

I just hope you'll will understand this issue and advise me properly because I don tire

My mum does not talk or hear. She owns a small shop where she sells biscuits,soap,sweets. Now there's an Igbo woman opposite her who sells food stuffs but recently started selling most of the things my mum sells. Sincerely I have no problem with it because my mum is also a civil servant so if my mum is not around the woman can sell,i no fit talk say make she no sell because my mama dey sell


But my mum was upset because there are some things my mum won't sell if her neighbor sells it too but I had to explain to her to just leave the matter.

Now,my mum did a mistake,when most of her customer comes to make hair(yes,my mum is an hairdresser too) she'd start telling them that eh,the other woman is selling what she's selling,my mum will tell her customers out of trust not knowing that some of them will go back to the other woman and tell her what my mum said(it's disheartening really)

Sometimes people who use to buy things from us will suddenly stop especially the small children because it's easy for her to manipulate them, when they buy from she'll tell them to hid it from my mum and I don't know why because my mum won't do anything even if you don't buy from her and telling them to hid what they bought from her will look somehow,like my mum will beat them

I don't know what this other woman tell to other people that'll make them stop buying from my mum. I'm not trying to paint my mum all good me too I've told her that telling other people that the other woman sells what she's selling will only give growth to gossips

I've told my mum,what is yours won't pass you by,don't just gossip about anybody. All those neighbor that'll come to ask you what's going on just want something to gossip about,them no go solve your problem.

Advise because I have nothing against the other woman I just hate the fact that she tells people things that are not true.
