What is this that am hearing about you, dear, precious asked
What did you hear again, my friend, you can hear things, I said smiling
It's not a joking matter; it's very serious, and it has started to escalate around the environment, which is not good for your reputation, Precious said with a serious face.
You are not joking, what is it, please tell me, I immediately stand up from where I was lying down
I know that this is not you, so when I heard about it, I doubted it, but this guy was very serious about it precious continue.
Can you come out with it? Exactly what is it that you heard? I asked, becoming very serious.
He said that you are a lesbian. Precious replied, looking at me with a sad face.
Is that all? That's what he said, and you took him seriously; I just hissed; I thought it was something serious that you heard about me.
So this is not serious in any way. Is that what you are trying to say? Precious questioned with a more serious face down before.
Well, as far as I am concerned, I don't care what anybody says about me. People talk rubbish about you when they can't predict you or what you do and how you move, I said as a matter of fact.
Okay, if you said so, but I think you should try and stop the rumor before it causes you something great one day, Precious insisted.
What do you have me do? It's not as if I will start looking for people that he has spoken to to defend myself; with time, the rumor will die down.
I thought that these rumors about me were going to die down, but it was way more serious than I thought. Everybody was talking about it; if I passed my street, a silent whisper about me kept going on. One day, I greeted a friend, Dave, who has been helping me out for a very long time in terms of my job search, and he snubbed me.
Well, I took it that he was in a bad mood, but when it repeated another time, I knew that something was not right, and I had to confront him. I stopped him one day and asked him what the problem was, and he said nothing and wanted to walk out. I asked him why he was ignoring me, if there was anything I did that was making him angry, and let him explain so I could change, but he said that he didn't want people seeing me with him so that his reputation wouldn't get stained by my name.
I felt bad, and I went home and began to think about this rumor that was spreading around in the environment where I stayed; I quickly called my friend Precious to come over to my house. When she finally arrived we had to brainstorm.
Precious, I think what you say it's true about this rumor, I need to put a stop to it, do you know who started this rumor about me, so I can confront him, I asked
It's Xavier, she said.
Which Xavier, is it the one I know or another new one that I don't know, I was very furious hearing that name.
It's the same person that you know, she answered
Ha! I am finished, so because he asked me out, I refused; the least he would have done was to move on, but he chose to destroy my name. I am going to his house right now. I stood up. Precious stood up chasing after me.
On my way to meet him, I saw him with a group of friends; I confronted him asap.
Xavier, so, because I refused to be your girlfriend, you went ahead and started spreading rumors, I said, very upset.
I'm sorry; I just assumed that since you keep rejecting all the guys that approach you, you might like them, women, Xavier said.
I don't care what reason you have for starting this, but I want you to fix it, and please try and avoid me for all your life. I said, very angry, and walked out.
People were there that day. I confronted Xavier, and immediately, without Xavier making any effort, people were talking about it. Many joined me to caution him.
Finally Dave came around to talk to me but I already unfriended him for hearing things about me and believing it, to the extent of allowing me. I was happy that I was elevated, and a public apology was given to me.

Thank 💕 you for stopping by my blog
Honestly, some people tend to find joy in tainting the image of people and that's absolutely wrong
It's the fact that they will be acting like nothing happened

False rumors' are bad and evil. It can dent a persons image for life.
Exactly

Am telling you
Good one from there. Yes it is common. People tends to dent others Image for their selfish purposes.
Good one that it is confronted and sorted.
I support @coolbabe88 on this one too.
It was sorted out but you know not everybody was there when I confronted him . Although I don't really care what rest think of me
People will just want to taint your name for no good reason. It's good that you confronted Xavier. I've been in similar situations, so I know how angry you must've felt
So angry, i almost send boys to beat him up but just have to confront him myself
Sometimes you hear stories about you and you ask if you do those things too because you don't have a knowledge of anything like that.
That is one of the things I really like about truth, it will always prevail
