I pulled my pants down at recess out in the field. My old best friend decided to tell this story top kids on the bus and they believed her. She told other stories like how I would hit and scratch her in second grade but she left out she would tease me and mock me and she fought with me too in school and on the bus. So she made it sound like I was a bully and I just picked on her and she was very innocent. And she did it every Monday morning for a few weeks while I would be at my appointment every Monday so I wasn't on the bus then.

I was pregnant, I am not sure how this got started at work.

I was engaged, I wasn't at the time but this was a rumor going on in my hometown after I moved away.

I stabbed a boy in class with a plastic fork. Started by a kid in 7th grade just to make himself sound cool.

I was a lesbian.


Rumors suck if they are allegations but if they are harmless rumors, no big deal. If something is a allegation and no one believes the person or it doesn't ruin your reputation because no one seem to take it seriously or they just give you fame for it, still no big deal.


People tend to use the rumors to decide how they feel about me without even bothering to get to know me first. People of all ages seem to delight in spreading rumours and making false accusations.

When I was a kid I had serious ARFID. I ended up malnourished and underweight for a time, and of course, growing up among homeschoolers, there was going to be gossip. When I was about ten, a rumor was started that I was anorexic, and it spread from the co-op through the entire church. But I was such a socially oblivious kid, even up through high school, that I had no clue what people were going on about when they made comments about my "looking better these days." Heck, one time at a retreat the entire kitchen staff came out and congratulated me on eating, and I still had no clue what was going on. Until I was older, I never understood why everyone, even my peers, treated me delicately. They were so patronizing, which is probably not the worst of fates, but it certainly made me feel like I'd been sectioned off from the others for no reason I could discern. It wasn't malicious, but still.

My cousin once called my work to accuse me of stealing her boyfriend. I don't think I had ever met him, she was looking for a scapegoat to give reason for why he broke up with her. Why me? And why involve my work?

I wish I could say ex, but current h always accuses me of cheating. I really don't have the mindset to do that and have never, but I hear it almost every day.

i live in a very small community and rumours spread fast. i heard a few things spread about me saying i dont wash the coffee pot at work properly or i denied a customer service which never happened and i assume people say things behind my back but it doesnt bother me. i only care about how people treat me, if they want to believe false things about me go ahead! doesnt phase me.

The intentions behind the gossip may not have been malicious, but the gossip was still rude.

This one girl accused me of talking s**t about her and her boyfriend when I was in eighth grade. I didn't even know this girl had a boyfriend. Sometimes I can't even fathom how people come up with the lies they come with. Your cousin sounds very immature and your husband sounds insecure.

The way people treat me depends on whether or not they buy into the rumors and gossip being spread around about me. People are more likely to treat me poorly if they believe the rumors and gossip. Some people don't know any of the rumors and only have to be around me for a few seconds before they have their minds made up about me. I can't even begin to describe how much living in a small town sucks.

IMHO people who bear false witness are committing a deadly sin. they are reaping a whirlwind of spiritually deadly karma. they are headed only for darkness.

but they make the mistake of discounting the possibility that there will be something for them in the next life after they've passed away from this life.

What if they claim to believe in it too? Or do they think they were justified in their false accusations?

no matter what they believe, there will be a reckoning later on for them, whether or not they realize what they are in for. IOW "god is not mocked." no escaping Karma [law of cause and effect].

In the meantime society does not punish them as law system is flawed and anyway the human mind can outwit and escape justice

they might escape MAN's justice but not the BIG MAN's justice upstairs whose judgments are far more severe and far-reaching. you may find some comfort in reading Danion Brinkley's "saved by the light" as it is an autobiographical example of an admittedly BAD man getting his just desserts after a long time. another good example is the story of Howard Storm, also an admittedly bad man who got his, as well.

In the end, these people have to answer to God. I do find comfort in knowing that God will deal with all the people that made my life miserable. God judges us based on how we lived our lives here on Earth. He also looks at whether or not we are truly sorry for the sins we did commit.

My ex had been abused when young, and forever after was suspicious of people. Quite regularly, something would quite accidentally remind her of an abuser, and she would attack them pre-emptively. Some of it was just keeping in practice and titillating her network, but she also regarded men as collectively guilty, so she cared nothing for justice. I don't know what she said about me, and I don't care to speculate, but she'd usually mix in 10% truth for credibility, and make up the rest. All I know is that I lost too many friends to stay in the area.
