Scenario:
There’s a girl you work with (girl A). She constantly tells you gossips and lies about how evil/terrible girl B is. For instance: “She’s mean” “She’s so ugly” “She has a bad personality” “She’s good for nothing” etc.
The question is:
Do these “manipulations” have an effect on you? Would you believe her? Would this effect on how you think about girl B. And in case you would actually like girl B:
Would you start disliking girl B because of what girl A says?
