Hello Friends, thank you for reading this. I have a friend, she was actually one of my first friends here, and I just heard that she was saying things about me behind my back to people that are my friends. Should I confront her about what she is saying?

And if your friend has been bad-mouthing you, find out what's behind it. Was your friend angry? Was there a misunderstanding? You need to find out what she was thinking and what she is willing to do to make things right.
If you deserve an apology, ask for one.
Hope things turn out for you and your friend soon. Good luck!
But don't make a huge public deal over it. Confront her when she is alone and ask her about what you've heard and find out what she says about it. Be very calm about it but yet be very assertive when asking about it. Don't lost anger or go about accusing her. Just tell her what you've heard and ask her about it. Judge for yourself what her answer is.
I hope I helped though, and good luck and I hope this gossiping about you behind your back between your friends isn't true.

Tell her how you feel and that you wish she would stop.
