irresponsible. They place their own needs and desires above others. If someone receives a gift this selfish slinger wants it and will say things, such as, "How come I didn't get a gift?" "I really need this gift," "Where is my gift?" "They always get everything and I never get anything." The blessed person is made to feel bad, guilty, or sorry for the selfish slinger by the remarks. This person wants the belongings of others. They believe they should have been the one receiving a car, home, money, etc. and not the person who was blessed. They do not understand why someone else is blessed and not them. Selfish people will fake being ill or depressed in order to receive pity from others.
Don't give them what they want! Do not feel guilty for your blessings. Blessings are a sign of succeeding in life.
It is impossible to please everyone in order for him or her not to talk behind your back. Life is too short to get run down trying to please people that will never be happy. Slingers are distractions that cause people to become miserable and lose focus on what matters. Your time is valuable and not worth losing in order to analyze why slingers say what they say about people. The higher people go in reaching their goals or making a difference in the world, the more people will criticize and sling words of destruction. The sting of words from slingers must be ignored in order to focus on positive goals for success.
