Hi mylotters. It is a very sad today. I just learned that there were a couple of people who started bad rumors about me. I feel like the world is all against me. A huge number of people believe these rumors even though it does not have any truth to it. has anyone started a rumor about you? How do you think I should cope with this?

I don't know of any rumors of me, and if there is any, I think I wouldn't care as long as it doesn't involve hurting people I care. It's difficult to say what to really do because I don't exactly know how bad the rumor is. Some rumors are just ignorable while some needs to be fixed right away because of the damage it may cause when left to spread wildly. Seeing that you are really affected by this rumor, then it must really be bad. I think the best approach to this is to start explaining to people your side of the story.

Well, the thing is, I just avoided these people who started the rumor. i didnt really explained my side since I knew that it wasnt true. Since the negative side is the only side that they know, they start to believe it :( I don't really know what to do!

They say that silence is the best answer to insults, but if you are really bothered about this then it would do you more good to tell them your version or the truth as you see it. After that they will have to decide which one to believe. There's no guarantee that it would stop the rumors but at least you defended yourself and gave your self justice.

Silence is pretty much what I do. I just avoid those people and I don't bother talking to them anymore. No on really asks me if the issue is true or not so I it is like I can't even defend myself :( and it is a bit awkward to just bring out the topic so it is really confusing!

you know one thing, people are telling against you its not because they feel that your are something less than to them its because they feel that you are something superior to them. so never worried about them. regarding false rumors some people have that work. so never let their words bring you down.

I am so sorry to hear about this. Some people really have the habit of trying to make it worst for others. I think it is just a bit fair for you to feel betrayed. I was in that position before and there was this woman being an a... to me and well she was acting as if we are friends but the moment i turn my back.. there goes the rumors and the betrayal.. she was really trying to put me down and my work ethics. I was disheartened but i confronted the people whom got the news and i told them it is up to them to believe that person who was new here or me who has been with you. eventually she got discredited for her actions...

It is awful when rumors are started about you because they are mostly something that is simply not true. The best thing that I can recommend when there are people that are starting rumors about you is to distance yourself from the people that are starting rumors. Also, make sure that those people that approach you about things that they've heard about you know that those rumors aren't true and they really shouldn't believe anything that those people have said.

Hello savage, I understood that you are in a condition of uneasy. Rumor is good for filmy people and models. They desire to have rumor about them. They want that people should talk about them. Then they feel good. I think it is not bad. You are in the right track. Do not feel uneasy. It will be alright. No, there is nobody to spread rumor about me. I will be happy, if you kindly do the job of spreading humor about me. Have a very nice day.

But I am not a celebrity so it is really weird that they made a rumor about me. I am just a student :(

Bad rumors could really harm and hurt us. If there is no truth about it, just true ignore them and prove them that there is no true about that rumors. Those people are just envious to you. But there are times that we have to stand for ourselves and depend ourselves especially when it is already to much for them to realize that what they are doing was wrong.

Yes, i know deep in my heart that it isnt true. I'll probably just ignore it but I get hurt when I remember it :( I'm just a really paranoid person..

People do this stuff because they are bored or have nothing better to do. They usually are small minded too. Take no notice (I know that's hard) because soon they will be talking about someone else. I have a 93 yr old dear friend and she would tell you to 'let it go over your head'. It's really not worth worrying about.

hi savagecabbage I would try and find out just who started all this then confront him or her, and ask them to stop already or you will call the cops 'on them. now I doubt if there's anything the police casn do unless someone get s violent or you are actually being harassed..try getting a restraining order after these people so they cannot confront you.I have never had this situation but I would call the police to see ju=t what can be done.

This is really bad but everywhere is this gossiping habit is everyone and mostly in women they talk about other persons when they are not present in their meeting.

How should you cope with this? Well, you shouldn't cope with it. You shouldn't do anything about it. Just do your thing, and let your merit speak for itself. And don't go hiding, because then people will think you're hiding because the rumours are true. Whatever the rumours are. What are they by the way?

yeh i know how it feels all u think is how are people gonna see you or what they feel. so am gonna tell you what to do dont care about things like this as long as is not true let them talk and as for people who believe them let dem be too if they cant come to u directly to ask if is true. and people get to say bad things about others cos they are better than dem.so live your life and enjoy every bit of it.
