what would you do if someone spreads a big bad lie about you?

Question

Someone you are related to and the lie has braught so much hate between me and the people involved

Answer 1

we can lock our doors against a thief but not a liar, say nothing, ignore the lie, after awhile when there is no response they will stop doing it, and get bored.

Answer 2

What I would do is ignore it, because I know who I am, and I know that the people closest to me know who I am too. The very closest will simply perceive the lie for what it is. Those not quite so close to me will ask me if it is true and will believe me when I explain the truth. Those more distant from me will believe the lie, but I won't care. My enemies will embrace the lie and behave as though it is absolute fact, but I don't care about them either. I will continue to live my life and to behave in a manner consistent with the truth, and that will be enough. The person spreading the lie will be excluded from my life in all ways I can possibly arrange, and that will be the end of that.

Answer 3

ask for a meeting for all the concerned parties so that the air can be cleared. But liers can hold on to that even before other people the only good thing is that eventually they will be found out. Its still painful beacuse it new.
Liers are usually insecure people and they do that to feel happy that u are probably not as liked as them eventually.
But with time u will be fine and so concentrate on something worthwhile, to take your mind of it. if the other people really know u they will come around.

s for that person if no meeting is called, just ignore them. what they really want is a long face. give em none
All the best

Answer 4

This is similar to an event in my life. At first the people directly involved in the lie was spoken to. After a while it is best just to ignore the lies - even though this is very hard on your self and anyone else involved Only time will heal the wounds and ignoring untruth is what needs to be done

Answer 5

Take him out behind the barn and beat the living crap out of him! Oh, wouldn't that be heartwarming revenge! But....

The only way to counter a lie is with the truth. People who know you well should not be swayed by a lie; people who allow themselves to be misled and refuse to accept the truth are not worth your time and effort. Mark them off as lost causes and concentrate your attention and efforts towards better people.

Answer 6

It's sad to know this stuff goes on in families! I would talk to the person spreading the lies, let it be known that it is tearing you and the family apart and this has got to stop!! Let the rest of the family know that it was a lie and that you did nuthing wrong!! Good luck

Answer 7

in time the truth will come out ,but the people who listen to the lie ,you lost as friends ,they will be to embarrass to say sorry ,one or two might.People who do this are jealous of you ,must times you don't know it ,til its to late ,that how they work .Look at it this way ,the ones that are always there are the good ones,and now you know who they are .

Answer 8

I'd tell the others if they want to believe what this other person said is the gospel truth then more power to them. I don't have to prove anything, I'm not the one spreading lies like that fool is. As for the person that lied about me, I'd tell them I'm here now, come talk that **** to my face.

Answer 9

Sometimes it doesn't matter if you're related or love someone or not you may have to totally separate yourself from them. You can warn them of this beforehand if you want to, but if someone is bringing you down or holding you back you have to cut them loose to truly be happy. The choice is yours.

Answer 10

Hold your head up high and keep living. The truth has its own way of coming out one way or the other.
