Yeah, and there is really no getting around that one, is there? I guess I have the luxury(?) of knowing that no matter where I go, the chances of anyone talking smack about me are so minuscule as to be non-existent, and that really colors my perception of things like this.
I'd like to think that my ego is sturdy enough to take it, as my perception of my own awesome is somewhat legend, but I'm probably deluding myself.
The interesting thing that I'm now thinking about is my own trust/no trust lines. I used to think they were pretty tight, as in there are only a few people who I will forever and always believe when they tell me things, but this made me realize that's not true. Purely as a thought experiment, there are bunches of people on my flist who I would be inclined to believe if they said that they were part of the comm but not one of the shit-talkers. But I guess I'd have to be in the situation to see if it'd stick. On the other hand, I tend to believe people, period, when it comes down to it. *thoughtful*
