OOOO that's a great question.
Scripture says a soft answer turns away wrath,
like the people previous said, if you don't give them more to talk about it helps. Yes I would confront the person who started the rumor ask them why. If people ask you about it, tell the truth and DON'T talk about the person who started it.
Don't give too much feeling to it, don't get worked up over it, it's not true and sometimes what other people think does matter but if it's not true then you have nothing to worry about.
If someone comes to YOU with gossip, best is to say you just don't want to hear it, and if they can't tell you who they got it from or they can't tell you who 'them' and 'they' are then it's best to refute it in your mind. And if your wondering, or if it's your business or you just need to know, approach that person privatley and ask them about it in a loving manner.

I would say not to react but be proactive. Find the source and deal with it. This is not to say to beat the daylights out of him/her because that would be reacting. Find out why it started. Who it came from. It does not mean you did anything intentionally to create "gossip." A lot of people say ignore it. Coming from experience, ignoring is not always the best because people will see you as "taking it" and not doing anything to protect youself. If you chose not to, then hey you are pretty important for them to be talking about! Say thank you, walk by and prosper from their stupidity.

i do no longer confront human beings, I purely forget approximately approximately them. I do get disillusioned on the interior, yet i do no longer want those form of issues to improve into some thing worse. If somebody easily comes as much as me and says some thing grotesque, i'm going to enable them to renowned how i think. sunlight in Aries seventh H, Mercury in Pisces 6th H

Depends on what the gossip is. Good of course, I'm glad. Probably walk with a strut. If its bad, then I probably lay low for a while. You know go to work, then head straight home, don't stop for nothin. Plus if I'm asked, I'll probably deny, deny, deny!

ouch i know how that is. I've been in that situation before. I find the best thing to do is not to react. Instead stay out of it and of course forgive them if they finaly come around and ask for forgivenss but i wouldn't continue to be friends with them. You don't want people like that in your life.

My first reaction is to consider if there is a basis. If I have done or said something to cause it. If so, I would try to rectify it. If it is just vicious rumor, I would either confront the person who started it or just ignore it. Sometimes being confrontational just adds fuel to the fire' so you might want to think aboout it first.
