    I sort of try to do this if possible. When I hear an outrageous statement made about someone, I ask the person, “who told you” and they usualy say, “uh, I don’t remember, but thats what I’ve heard”

    That’s how I (try to) I stop the rumor from spreading. I may not be able to retrieve it completely, but at least I stopped the spread and I made the person stop and think for a moment about repeating it without verifing the accuracy of the info.

    Rumors grow wings, and if not clipped, they fly.

    Squash one today!

    At one time, I used to care what people said about me. But now the damage is done; my wife is gone awhile. So I don’t care personally, let them do what they want. Everyone eventually has to give a Din V’cheshbon and I definitely don’t want to be in their shoes!

    “Health– I thought you’re a woman!!!!!!!!!!!! oh!”

    Same for me, I guess I was wrong, some nurses are men.

    Always here – You’re the second woman poster to say this:

    smartcookie did also:

    “Health, don’t tell me you’re a man, when I always thought you are female….”

    Why did the two of you think this? Did I ever post something to give you this impression?

    #732011

    always here – you took the words right out of my mouth!

    deiyezooger – I’m not a nurse either, even though I find nothing wrong with being a male nurse. I once considered becoming a male nurse, but that was a long time ago.

    eclipse -Thanks.

    everyone should have a friend like you eclipse i’ve been a subject of lashon hara my whole life its been very hard to get past it sometimes, also what hurts is when people can seemingly say loshon hora about you in your presence but seem to think your too stupid to realize it.

    I cant quite explain why i’ve been the target of peoples unhealthy interest but it has always been the case from school to work it has been a constant in my life, most recently it was my coworkers who spoke behind my back on a daily basis it was very hard but i have forgiven them and now our relationship has improved, they spoke ill of me but me letting go of my anger was what enabled our relationship to improve dramatically.

    Goq,when my once-sterling reputation was literally destroyed,I said Hashem must be testing me to see if I will serve Him without any admiration from others whatsoever.If I told you that was easy,I’d be lying.But I’m happy to say,I served Him from the mud.

    Of course,over time,you develop an “inner circle” of people you can really trust,and SOME of that crazy pain fades,but it’s not ever going to not bother you at all.

    eclipse that very impressive because they say its just as hard to undo loshan hora as it is to collect all the feathers from your pillow.

    but why do we need to know this??
