Also, people will not want to be friends with you because they will think you're a really sleazy person. , It's a dirty look that mixes the messages of "don't mess with me" and "you'd better not be looking at my boyfriend".
Whatever you do, do not return the look or try to counteract the look with the "stink eye".
Don't say anything, simply do a very casual closed-mouth smile.
Also make sure your smile looks friendly, not "cocky. , and you are in a group of your friends, reply with something like, "That's alright, you can say what you have to say, we're all friends here right? , You don't necessarily have to be over-friendly to people that you dislike, but always be polite.
This way you know that you are not giving anyone any reason to hate you, and if they do start hating on you, it's not your problem but theirs. , That is the same if you tell peoples' secrets, they will not believe you! , If someone around you begins to gossip about someone or says mean things, do not join if they ask you what you think, say "They're fine" or "I like them".
An example of a conversation with gossip would be something like this; " OH my gosh look at Jasmine's sleazy make-up! It looks so stupid! " " I think it looks decent. ".

Therefore when you fall out with a friend, keep it between you and don't say mean things behind their back.
If someone else hears of the argument and says mean things, ignore them.
