With that being said, if someone tries to broach the topic of your childhood, DONT.  Even if it's someone new.  Keep in mind that anyone in that office who has talked shit about you has therefore LOST THE PRIVELEGE of getting to hear the interesting stories of your childhood.  As Maya Angelous said, "when someone shows you who they are, believe them."  Now you know the truth- they are shitstirrers, not worthy of getting to hear your fascinating and unique antidotes.  Maybe  they're jealous because they grew up in some God-awful boring place outside Baltimore (Gaithersburg comes to mind- shudders).  Whatever the reason, now you now what to expect.  Be glad to whoever was dumb enough to tell you about the shit talking- they have given you a huge gift of knowledge.  Now your part in this is going to become having self control.  No matter if everyone is bonding or having fun, DO NOT succumb to the urge to open up.  Whatever it takes, keep your mouth shut. I wouldnt even directly confront them, because you dont want any office drama.  And tbh, they didnt give you that courtesy- for months they talked behind your back without telling you directly, so you dont owe them the chance to explain themselves. [b] If someone says, "hey, OP, what about you?  Where did you say you lived for middle school again?"  Or whatever, just say, "Oh, you guys wouldnt want to hear about boring me.  it's not as interesting, I assure you."  And give them a little smile. I promise you this will annoy the living shit out of them but there's nothing they can do. [/b] Keep it positive and just refuse to engage.

And really- take it as a compliment.  Since they spend so much time talking about you, you might consider autographing some photos of yourself and passing them out to the shittalkers.  It seems youve become a celeb to them.  [/quote]
