Rumors get started all the time. If they are talking about me, then they are giving someone else a rest. That's all I can say except when it's in the workplace it can be quite stressful.

yes i have had this experience and it really is terrible. i remember me and my mom had fought because of this person spreading the wrong stories and telling my mom lies. i swear i could've kicked her a$$ or done something terrible to her. i ended up running away from home, and it took three years for me and my mom to talk again.

There were many rumours I had in my life. First rumour was about my mom, our malicious neighbor spread this bad humour about her. My mom is beautiful she always like to pamper herself, one time her job shifted to nightshift so she was going to work 10pm -8am. Some of my neighbor spread that my mother was a Hostess, because my mother always looks good whenever she was going to work and she returned home at 8am. I heared the rumour when I was outside the house playing with my friends, one of my friend teased me that my mother was a hostess. BAck then it was very famous who were the group of people who always spreading the rumours on our neighborhood so I told my mother about it and the war begins. Since then I do not go outside the house to play with anyone. When I was in highschool going to college, the rumour spread on me that I was pregnant because I was not going outside our house, I was always like this, school house and school house. The same people put a rumour on me that they had seen me one time with a guy which makes me pregnant because they had seen me with a guy. Of course my parents did not believe it, they just neglect the rumours. BEcause they failed to spread the lies, they spread another, they said that I will not be graduate in college because I will get pregnant and I will get married early. I don't know what makes this people have the strong urge to say those rumours about me. My dad got angry, as far as I remember he hired a lawyer and I don't know what happened next. Successfully, I graduated from college and never get pregnant, which gaves them a heart attack. These people are full of jealousy, I think they have a brain disease, they are very harmful.

you're right greychunny... it s*cks when people say bad things about you (even if they're true - - - how much more if they're not, right?) i truly believe everybody shouldmind their own business and get on with their own lives! It's a tough world, they should at least do something to make their lives better rather than trying to pull others down along with them.

Yes, and believe it or not its my family that does this. Believe me it hurts deep in the heart. Then you feel worthless as worthless can be, because you sit and wonder why anyone would want to hurt you like that. Feels as though a Knife was shoved into your heart, twisted, then pulled out to leave you to bleed. Make you out to be some God awful person when all I was doing was helping out. Then out of the blue because I said I couldn't help with something,(which my words was not my actions, I still followed through regardless) I was condemned for. Regardless how much you pulled them out of their situation brought them out to have a life, knowing secrets that can't be revealed. I did not want to believe this person would use me and then throw me away as though what I felt didn't matter anymore. Well It is what it is now and after the tears, will have to let it be for it is what it is.

Yes we learn to be tough, thing is that outer self can get pretty thick. My trust in people, you know that deep down to earth trust in another, I am at a place where I can't allow anyone in. The only one I talk to now is God, since he already knows all... how can you not talk to him?

Oh yes this has happened from time to time on me. It was just the other day someone got overly jealous of me and I had gotten phone calls and emails and things passed to my friends because of myself not having a friendship with this person anymore because of how riduculous they are and her being so jealous of myself and how my life is alot better without her in it she has decided to say some wonderful stuff to get right around. I have to say it is very annoying when you are trying to go about your life and talk to a friend or family member and you constantly have text or phone calls or emails coming in about outrageous stuff. I cannot stand people like that I try to ignore it and keep going about my life but its alittle hard when you dont get left alone. It is very terrible but it goes to show people how dumb others can be. People like that obviously dont have much of a life or they are not very happy with their life to go and pick on other people or talk about them.

yeah, better ignore them, they are a waste of time... besides, if friends start stories about you, they're not real friends

OH yes Just today I had one started on me. My ex-daughter in law became friends with my future daughter-in-law. I warned the new one that could create problems and to be careful.(My son and the ex have two boys together)Later on I made a remark to the new one about the old one and the new one told the old what I had said. Yes I know it was my fault but gosh did she have to tell everything I said. So now I'm getting IM's from the old saying she was going to remove herself from myspace and any other accounts that she is associated with me. I learned real quick to keep my mouth shut.

A lot of times. I don't know, I just can't do away with mean people. One rumor started on me having a relationship with my boss. I got really mad, coz, my boss and I are really good friends, and I felt awkward with his wife when she found out about the rumor. Although she told me that she honestly don't believe in it... I still feel bad for people who'll do anything to ruin someone else. My friends told me that whoever started it is just jealous.

Actually, ever since I gave birth, I stopped working with them. I am still good friends with my boss and his wife. Although it's a little awkward because I am a single mom, everybody thought my son is my boss'. But I just laugh at the rumors, coz if they check out my son's face... no hint of my boss in there. Hahaha!!! To hell with those back biters

In my school days, I had a romour passed on me. My friends created a grapevine saying that a female classmate of mine has a crush on me and that I went to her house at night. However that was not the truth at all. But that romour made me face toomuch trouble. Luckily now its all forgotten

Yes, I've had rumors started about me, more than once. The most recent was just 5 months ago. A co-worker, Nick, was getting married. My husband & I use to be friends with Nick & his girlfriend, Patty, until Patty became jealous & said that I wanted her man. Well, just about a week or so before they got married, Nick received a card in the mail & they say it was from me. Nick called my husband's best friend, George, another co-worker of mine & told him that he got a card in the mail & it was from me. When Nick & George hung up from talking to each other, they both called my husband's cell phone. My husband was busy at the time & I didn't answer the phone. Nick left a message on my husband's phone. George didn't leave a message & called my cell phone. Then I started getting e-mails from Patty that said, "your not even funny". Her grammar error, not mine! I told her I didn't send the card & I have no idea what they are talking about. I never did hear from them what was in the card that made them so upset. I know Nick went around telling people at work that I did it, but no one has said anything to me about it. And now Nick doesn't talk to me at work either. I haven't had a chance to talk to him & try to clear the air.

yikes...that's a terrible thing to happen. As I see it, somebody may have set you up... and I guess you can figure out who among your officemates seem to dislike you... whoever sent the card, is very cunning... but i think you should confront Nick and tell him you had nothing to do with the card.

I was in the same problem when I was @ school. I've pointed out those stupids & block all the links with them, withdrawn all the support; very few of my friends supported me @ that time. Naturally, people close to you have a higher access in ur life & thus higher chance of betrayal (if they dont care about U). So do trust after test. Thats what I did... & finally dont bother at all; the more u bother the more it'll keep arising. I do believe it will be solved soon. (people usually do such things for time pass) Stay well. Keep smiling... :)

Yes, I have experience such. I really do not know why there are people like that. They always try to find a way to destroy someone. In the place where I work before, there are a lot of people who backbite people. The sad thing is our boss usually believes in them outright. I was thinking that being a professional they would not ride on to such but they did. Well, anyway, it really feels terrible. But now, I keep away from this people and have also quit my job. I am now my own boss. So I do not care if they spread whatever lies they want to spread. The important thing is I am standing on my own feet and with a clear conscience.

oh definitely .it really really hurts when you suddenly hear some people say things about you especially when you know that theyre lying or maybe thier making foolish judgements. it has happened to me, and the rumor has been started by people ive tried hard to befriend and who inthe past, ive also saved their reputation from other people who talk against them. but that was before what they did to me.. it's just weird that they suddenly changed their attitude. but im happy cause my friends and even people who arent close to me did not beleive those rumors and told me that theyd never believe those things are true. whew...glad that was over. but i also learned my lesson not to make judgements against other people too

y'know...they don't deserve all the good things you did to them...now you saw who your real friends are

Indeed, it is terrible. Especially when the one who's spreading rumors is your friend. Than happened to me before. I didn't know that my friend is already talking behind my back and talking bad things about me without me knowing it. Of course it was not true. I don't know why she's angry with me, after that, we started to have a big misunderstanding. I don't want to confront her because she's too proud and doesn't want to accept any explanations. She just believes in what she know. I don't like to worsen the situation that's why I just let her do what she wants to do. I know in myself what's the truth. And I know that my real friends will believe me not her.

Yes. Just last week, I happened to meet my old high school friend and we ended up having a cup of coffee in a nearby cafe. She told me that she heard stories from our high school classmates that I am getting married. I couldn't help laughing!

Yes and it was terrible. I am never one to create false stories about another person, which truly devastated me when I heard there was this person making up stories about me and she even pretended as if I were the one who is lying just to get people onto her side. BUt guess what, I did not take revenge and karma eventually got to her!
