I'm going to confront my friend about them talking shit about me on their private twitter
What did they do to make you want to confront them?
It's my friend and I know exactly what happened to how the rumour spread around. He hasn't told me who started it though. If he tells me, we can patch up and forget this ever happened to both of us.
It's good to stick up for yourself if you feel like people are talking behind your back. Otherwise they will keep continuing to do it.
I'm going to confront them and make a huge deal out of it. You don't understand how much I care about this friendship.
It is good to stand up for yourself. I think you should talk to him right away in private and try to work things out. He may be sympathetic to you.
