Have you ever heard a false rumour about yourself?

[Mlppotterwhoovian 381]

I heard many rumors from my sister that I hate mlp and dr who the exact opposite is true and why are rumors so important anyway? Just curious...

I've heard so many rumors about me that it pretty much ruined school for me. I'm not lyin' here. It put me in a really bad moment in life for me. I'm so glad all of that has passed now. 

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,049]

Yes of course, I'll try to make it short !
There was that girl I was dating a few year ago, she decided to broke up with me for some reason, but the rumour said that it was me who broke up with her BECAUSE she refused to have sex with me... Which was totally not true !
I've discover some week later that this rumour has been launched by a guy that was in love with my ex GF and was jealous to see me dating her and invented that fake info !

Since I rarely interacted with anyone during my time in school--and in life for the most part--there have been no false rumours spread about me. However, there have been some misconceptions about where I'm from.

Once when I was back in grade four there was a kid who didn’t like me and we were nemiseses or whatever and at school we could sit on the floor to eat so him and his squad were on the floor and he told everyone , I quote “Liam is a stupid fucking idiot and should kill himself” and my friend Denton from kindagarden told me and I confronted him and that kid said, I quote once again “ dude we are friends I’m just messin” and proceeded to hug me ??????

Well, there were a few rumours that I was dating people (and I'm just going to say people, since I don't even know their names), or that I was a good match for someone, but nobody really believed it, so it didn't bother me anyway. (But it was SUPER annoying for the people who actually believed it, even though it was close to none, because they kept bothering and bothering me about it, even though I CLEARLY said I wasn't interested.)

(But it wasn't too bad though, because it only lasted for a short while (aka, not even a week), but it was still annoying as HELL.)

 

Other than that though, I've never really had anything.

There were rumors from time to time that I was gay. Not true, but that didn't stop people from spreading them.

I’m pretty sure I heard a rumor that I was pregnant in like middle school. Pretty hilarious and impossible since I was never physically involved with anyone until college. 

[Guest]

In college, someone went round and told people that me and an old friend were in a relationship. Bearing in mind; I'm gay and she's a girl. They should of done research first... 

[Mystic Brush 102]

People said i was autistic.

Boy, were they wrong.

[Appley Hooves 136]

Most recent would be that I'm suicidal, but that's mostly wrong.

Longest standing one would be someone spreading that I'm gay, think that started in 2013 and I still have guys adding me thinking maybe I'm single and looking. TBH it doesn't bother me, but it upsets me that they get upset when I tell them I'm straight :/

There haven't been many rumors about me since I'm not known by many people, but there has been a couple during secondary school. Though I'll never be sure since it's hard to tell if there are rumors going around or not. A few people in secondary school had apparently spread a rumor that I'd been sitting on my friend's lap and tongue kissing with her although that was so far from true that it was almost hilarious.  One can just wonder why they came up with such a thing.

I think that most people have heard a rumor about themselves, especially if you attended a public high school. When I was in high school, a good amount of rumors were spread about me due to someone being bitter about a decision I had made.

[Nsxile 25,848]

Many times and, after a few, I learned to ignore them.

[Here No Longer 5,271]

I don't think I could count how many of them were around. The most prevalent ones being that I had some sort of contagious disease or something and that X girl liked me (which they never did, and I never did either... Even though they thought I liked several girls due to something inappropriate and rather embarrassing...). Though in one girl WAS into me! But it's cool, she understood I don't like girls that way. Though that should have been obvious when she saw me dancing with a guy at the dance and actually enjoying myself (with girls it was always extremely awkward).

 

No wonder I lacked self-esteem for the longest time. But now I have it back!

I’m not sure about false rumors. No one ever says them to your face. I expect there are one or two true rumors circulating about though; even here on the forums, where I’ve heard some quiet rumblings here and there. (Don’t worry folks, it’s nothing bad!!)   

[Cash In 21,685]

I remember one rumour from school in particular. It was that I was a lot older than I actually was letting on. People had claimed I was 17 to 18 years old, before I had even turned 14. I had no idea how it began, but it eventually faded.

[Prometheus 3,038]

The only rumours about me that I can recall were honestly pretty funny ones. They mostly revolved around my Italian surname, which is really uncommon where I live. Some of my favourites were that I was a descendant of Mussolini or that I had connections with the mafia. You know, the usual patter. 

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Yeah, there's a rumor going around on some online forums that I'm secretly a socially manipulative and abusive asshole. :v
