Former friend poisoning others against me

Post Reply New Topic

In the last several months, a former friend, who also has AS has seemed to become the dominant alpha male by forming this little clique among others with Asperger's. I used to get along with most of them until he started spreading some ugly rumors about me and poisoning them against me.

I ran into one of the people in his networks who used to be really friendly towards me. The last few times that I have tried to talk to him, he's been frigid and being short with me.

The second time I ran into him was on the train this morning and I tried to say hello and he turned to look at to me to wave for a second before going back to look at his phone and walked around with it at the station. When we boarded the train he and I avoided each other but we sat in seats where we could see each other and I noticed that he eyed me several times and gave me looks. He also seemed to keep looking down at his phone laughing.

I would like to know what I could to put a stop to this kind of behavior and let him know that I didn't do any of the things that he keeps hearing about.

As much as I hate to say this, there's nothing you can do about it, other than do your best to ignore it.

I find it heart breaking that all of these people looked up to me once now hate me and think all kinds of horrible things about me without bothering to to confirm anything with me.

Have you tried confronting the friend from the network and asked him why he is suddenly being so cold towards you? Are you sure its because your former friend has been spreading rumors? I am sorry to hear about your troubles.

My other friends have said that they have come directly to them and has tried to tell them that I am trying to break up this group which is not true. He also has been telling others that I have been bullying his friends which also isn't true.
