How do you shrug off worries that your ex may have bad-mouthed you to people?

Question - (5 April 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 6 April 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Has anyone ever worried that your ex will talk sh*t about you? Like exaggerate things about you so that you sound worse than you actually are. Like, I guess I was a little clingy when my ex broke up with me, like I tried to stay in contact even though he was trying to cut me out. Looking back on it now, I guess I came off as a bit desperate, and I regret it. This isn't a major worry, but sometimes I wonder if he told his friends about all this. How do I shrug this off? And has anyone ever been in a situation where they've found out that their ex has been bad-mouthing them?

CindyCares agony auntHow do you shrug it off ?..

You raise your shoulders of about half an inch then let them rapidly drop :)

Honey, this is not a minor issue, this is a non - issue.

He may, or may not, have told his friends that you acted clingy or desperate. So ? his opinion. Do you still care about it ? Why ? He is an ex. Do you particularly care about his friends having a high opinion about you ? Why ? Are they likely to offer you a prestigious job, or giving you a substantial loan? based on your level of past clinginess ? No ? ... Enough said.

Don't care about the opinion of those whose opinion there's no need for you to care about ( I like this ! It sounds like a zen proverb ! )
