My bff (L) told me that my other bff (S) was talking about me. L tells me a lot when S is talking about me, and L told me I can't tell anyone, especially S that she told me or that I know. I know if I did tell S, L would get really mad at me and I don't need that right now. I don't want to loose her trust. So, my question is, what should I do? I'm tired of S acting all goody goody like shes the greatest friend in the world to me when she's not. Should I act differently toward her, or, mainly, how can I hint at what I know? Like say, "I HAAATE when people talk about me," hinting to her, but something better than that. Fives for answers. Thanks.
What you have to understand is that not everyone will tell you the truth. If you were to confront S about her talking about you, she would likely deny it and then it would lead to all of the drama that you are wanting to avoid.
And who knows, maybe L could be lying to you about S saying stuff about you. I know you may not be able to imagine this, but it happens.
Nobody likes to be talked about. But, what you should do is continue to be friends with these girls, but keep your distance. If L tries to tell you what S said, just explain to her that you don't want to hear it because it only causes hurt feelings. The only way that you'll see whether a friend is true or not, is for you to actually hear her say something about you, not L, not your boyfriend, not your crush, not your other friends. This is about you seeing whether a friendship is worthy or not.

I dont know of any friendships that didnt involve some gossip so unless she says something really mean about you, dont confront her about it. i really wish you good luck and i hope all that drama stops.
