i will let them talk.. i don't care what people say about me or think about me because i know it's not true.. and if the people who are close to you will believe him then they are not true friends.. because if they are they won't listen to him
and it happened to me many times and sadly most of the time people will trust him not me.. but if you know it's not true then you shouldn't care..
bass of course you can still defend yourself.. but if the person will continue telling lies about you, you can ignore him.. i think it's the best way

I'd defend myself but in a civilized manner, without yelling or insulting the person, that way, I end up better than them in the end.

However, if they are the ignorant type and don't even bother to listen to what I have to say, then I would just tell them my final word or opinion about that subject, then tell them that they are stubborn and full of ignorance. If a person is not willing to change their mind, then don't waste any time trying to change it for them, it's their loss anyways.

People who will spread lies about you only love it more when they see you become upset or angry about it, so if you make a big scene out of it, then you are probably allowing them to enjoy spreading lies. So try to ignore it, soon the other person will realize that it's not doing much. Meanwhile, if anyone else seems to believe those lies, just clear it up for them and tell them the truth.

People are always going to find a reason to hate you, and if they can't find one, they'll make one up. It's stupid, but you just have to find a way to deal with it b/c that's part of life.

EDIT: Well in that case, then I would go find the person and confront him and tell him what I think. If i can't find him, then I would just tell the people who are close to me my side of the story just so that they don't get the wrong idea.

I agree with Kate.
learn to be patient, life has taught me that the truth always comes out at the end and you need to emerge spotlessly clean in it.

talking to him is petty and will bring you down to his level.
any friends you will lose over this, are those who jumped too quick to believe him without giving you the benefit of a doubt: you don't want such friends in your life anyway.

Call him on it!! Let your voice be heard that you know that he knows that you know or whatever but def call him on it and stand your ground.

I'd talk to Kate...she knows people who know people . They'll take care of it for you !

no, I wouldn't defend myself or anything...I would let them talk as much as they want...afterall, the truth always comes out in the end...and for people who really know you, this talk will mean nothing...you might lose the people who don't really know you and who believed that crappy talk, but who wants those "friends" anyway.

Your best friends know you for who you are. And if they don't yet, they will soon learn about that guy. No need to have any reaction as you are indeed innocent of any heresay. Cheers!

As they say من راقب الناس مات هما
So I don’t care I think they talk like this cuz as u said they r jealous missing something on their lives, it all happened with us this human culture but later the water will get clear and then it will show what’s under it , and your friends who know you must not believe them and even if they do I think they will come to ask u or it will get clear for them later and who doesn’t want to believe you then bel na2s 5abriah you don’t want friends like that
And about me I won’t listen to them ;) i know you

definitely defend my self,ignoring them will make things even worse.i for one will not allowed anyone to trash me for what ever reason,believe me i'll get bitchy and violante if i have too,you should do the same and if you don't interact with that person you should call him,insult him...do whatever it take so he get the message and stop,you should also make your friend back you up and every time he talk bad about you they should stop him and defend you.

yeah that is bad but you know what?people who do this to you are the people who feel less than you,they won't say it or show it but that is how they feel.Be better then them and let it go.you know who you are and the people close to you should know who you are and what you do and don't do.So if you really care about these people explain to them once only and than let it go.The more you defend yourself,the less believable you will be.Don't bother talking to the person making those awfull claims.after all,there an old proverb that say:Fatishni bt kabirni.which means if you ask that horrible person why,you are actually giving him/her more attention than they actually deserve.

Je m'appelle Annie, et toi?

lol....my brother does that to me all the time...
he is always like "do you remember when you were in 8th grade you used to take my stuff away..."
or " you remember when we were kids you told me to say this and that and I thought you were always right and did all the things"
but I have never done such things to him... I think he really likes to make me look like a mean heartless older sister who bossed him around...:D and he always repeats these stories infront of anyone we know!!!

arpsy

Honestly I would not defend myself for crapy things... you know who you are so why you should give him the right to be someone?, as it said above your friends already know who you are, so there is not need to waste your time in something that really does not worth..does it hurt you or affect your life? if yes then tell the things directly to him and shut him up..but if it does not hurt you, just ignore him..Listening Idiots is give them some value.

this is an everyday thing in lebanon dude. Gossip is king there so just let it bounce off of you. Dont be like most lebs and care so much about self image. You know that you did nothing wrong and most importantly god knows you did nothing wrong. Why do you care about the opinions of complete strangers. This is something we lebanese need to change. I tell my mom this all the time before she but i say this in a respectful way cause i love her so much:)
