how do you deal with gossip at work ? whether about you or someone else?

Question

I constantly have people gossiping about me for absolutely no reason.  If someone asks me how many parts i put out for the day I tell them because they asked me. well... then the next thing i hear is" that i've been bragging about how much production i put out." this is ridiculous. I never brag. I don't even say what i put out unless someone asks me. If i am faster than most people on a particular job and get out quite a bit more than they do,,,,then I hear .. "oh she thinks she's so fast" . And heaven forbid that one of the group leaders or the plant manager comes to me specifically and asks me to do a job that needs done right away....well,,, because then , "everyone is kissing my ***"...."what makes her so special?.'".. 
I am so sick of this mentality i can't stand it. f i do a good job,, then think I'm better than everyone else . If i do a bad job, im lazy *****. If a groupleader or manager gives me a compliment,I'm kissing ***. this is a viscious cycle can
someone please help

Gossip at work is like mosquitoes at the jungle.Gossip you will find in any work around planet earth.Gossip is a habit and a plague at work.The only think you can do about it,is ignore the gossip.Never pay attention what workers say about you.Ignore the gossip and you will be happy at the workplace.Good luck.
