this about you...(".whatever it is)....Now...you just said..."oh, really?"...later you go and ask THAT VERY PERSON????DID you say this about me?....the person says.."why would i say that?"..i don't know you that well"....NOW QUESTION: WHO WOULD YOU BELIEVE...(one is obviously an instigator and one is unknowing)...should you go back to the first person and say,,'SHE SAID SHE DID NOT SAY SUCH A THING?"...OR just "let it go"????...i realize this is petty...

If you're not torn up about it, let it go. If you tell them "this person said you said this..." the situation may resolve itself.

My memories circulate some time past to until now the demands for equivalent rights and slightly female escorted by the protection stress right into a white college or a female refusing to sit down interior the returned of the bus. The 'N' be conscious became into no longer a derogatory fact returned then. That be conscious and 'colored' have been the only words used to describe black human beings. i became into 8 until now I ever observed a black individual or knew something approximately races different than white. Segregation? maximum human beings my age or older might deny it, yet by the age of 8 i became into too previous to be indoctrinated. I had reached the age of reason and that i lived in segregation. yet to respond to your question in accordance to Oprah W. black human beings use it each and every of the time so the respond is not any. i do no longer use it on account that's a term linked with slavery.

I don't think it's petty, gossip can be hurtful. I just think you should never let someone else's opinion (or someone else's need to gossip) have that much power over you..
True- feel sad for the person saying it - they obviously have their own self esteem issues, AND for the person conveying it - a need for attantion, maybe?
Untrue - the person inventing & conveying the story has a problem.
If you obsess about it - you'll be like a dog chasing it's tail. It'll drive you crazy & get you nowhere :-)

I weren't believe the person saything he/she never said that. I once tracked down a rumour to a popular pretty boy. When asked he said people told me. I asked which people he just said people so I knew he was lying. Anyway just ignore rumours about u. That's the best way to be. Folks who spread rumours are losers not worth your time or effort.

Just let it go.
Feeding gossip is a never ending job, ignore it and it will shrink away.
Life is to short for such things.
Peace!

It is very petty. There is no way to know who is telling the truth so just drop it.
