People who have not been to the dark side find it impossible to understand. They are all too quick to display the more evil sides of human nature.
Go about your business as best you can and don't worry what others think. Whatever it is they think makes absolutely no difference in anything. If it is true that what goes around comes around, then I cringe to think what kind of compassion they will get when they are on their sickbed someday.
You can shut them up with kindness. So your house is a mess because you are too ill to keep up. So what. Shut them up with kindness. Smother them with love, even if they don't deserve it, actually, especially if they don't deserve it.
It might be an idea to consider taking a job in a different place. But if that isn't possible, you can change your kindness and love to others, even if it is forced fake job, and that is a very powerful weapon against those who gossip.
