Although it may be difficult, you can deal with rumors by not taking them personally, as many people spread rumors just to see someone upset. If you can’t ignore the rumor, you can try to set the record straight by telling people that the information is false. Another way to end a rumor is to find the person who started it and ask them directly why they are spreading the lie. Once you address the rumination, remember to be patient and keep your head held high, as most ruminations will fade away with time. Read on to learn how to be open and honest with people to stop the rumours.
