Toxic Rumors
« on: August 26, 2010, 08:00:03 am »
Has anyone ever had someone start a nasty rumor about you that was totally false just to make people think you were a really bad person? Wow, the hate some people carry around with them is just incredible!

Well, think of it this way: if someone takes the time to make up a rumor about you, they must REALLY be thinking about you a lot. Plus, people who do that are just jealous and/or have nothing better to do!

Not me personally. But I knew a person who would make up those rumors. Needless to say, we are no longer friends...besides, no one would have believed her anyways if she started something about me.

Not since highschool, but yeah, people are just jealous. Never believe rumors  :D

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

I am sure that this has happened to everyone.  In addition to rumors, I know of cases where people also blame somebody for something that was done which was wrong and the person blamed for it did not really do it.  Somebody spreading false information to hurt somebody who was innocent.

I am happy to say that it hasn't happened since high school.   Though I'm sure it would have happened if I had stayed in contact with a lot of the people I knew from high school.  I'm sure that some are still trashing each other years later.

People who display this type of behavior are really just extremely insecure.

Thanks for the replies everyone! Just my daily reminder to watch out for the crazy people out there - or are they really people? Alien insects among us? Think about it. (Gotcha !!). Have a safe weekend all!

My Ex does this all of the time...to my Family/Friends, funny how they know better yet they always take his side. I don't have time for 'haters'...so I just let it go.
