When you hear something, do you believe in it right away or you first do a research to see whether there is any truth in the rumour?
How do you feel if you hear a rumour about yourself which in no way is closed to the truth?
If the rumour you hear about yourself is reflective of the sickened mind that spreaded it, what steps would you take to do a damage control or to rectify the issue? Ignoring is one passive way but it can only used at some points but should there be any specific methodology to encounter the false news that spreads like the fire in the woods.
Let’s see what people have to say on this :whistling
One more thing I forgot to ask... does it matter from whom you hear the rumour? I mean does the relation with the person make the rumour credible in your eyes?
If the rumour is about you, you would know if its true or a lie .. it does not matter then if the person is my own mother if its a lie
and if it is not about you?
I am not important enough that is why I never heard any rumors about me. :D
That's what you think...:p
LOL.. TLK ... it's a general question.

I was just going to say that I would handle a rumor based on whom I heard it from first, then if the source is reliable, I would dig deeper.
If the information is incorrect, I would like to resolve it, but often times, it is more of a headache so I let go!
Rumours spread like wildfire and wen the majority start believing it nothing can b done, no matter how hard u try to convince ppl of the truth they would refuse to believe coz they think ur trying to justify ur mistakes or hiding the truth, but obviously those who really know u, will kno tht it was a rumour. The rest just believe and u just have to live with it, especially when itz over the net, theres nuthing tht can b done abt it…but real friendz would kno wats wrong and wats right and whether a rumour can b associated with tht person, and also they can ask tht person and they would believe wateva tht person in question claimz…the majority dont matter they just await such rumours to bring sum excitement into their lives…saddo’z !
if its abt someone i tell myself that God knows better abt everything
oh and if its abt me i tell myself that PPL just suck and yeah thats it.i dont go to fight with with ppl.i let the dogs bark:phati:
I am generally a very quiet person, soft spoken and averse to any sort of conflct. Yet if there are rumors about me...I guess gori that I am, I choose to confront it head on. Like, going to see a person I KNOW has either started or spread the rumor, preferably with many other people around and saying "SOOO.... I heard you said THIS about me? WHY, wassup? Where did you hear it?" and "Lets discuss openly instead of behind my back"
If it's about me...I'll try and set the record straight....if people still choose to believe the rumor and not me...so be it! I wont keep defending myself against a lie. Allah knows all :)
If it is about someone I dont associate with or am not that close to....then I dont care and I'll ignore it and will continue my relationship (or lack there of)with them.
If it is about someone I know and care about....I'll ask them directly about the rumor to find out if it is true or not. Either way the rumor wont effect my relationship with them as long as it doesnt have anything to do with me.
If the rumour is about me I prefer not to be told about it. If I do come to know about it then I choose not to say anything and just carry on with life. At times it’s hard when ppl. spread stupid rumours around:bummer:
agar mein koii baat sun loon and woh true naa ho to I don’t care.
