How to Get Rid of Rumors

While many people enjoy spreading rumors, most do not like to have rumors spread about them. Rumors can be very cruel and hurtful, whether there is truth to the story or not. If you hear a rumor about someone else, treat the person with the same respect that you would want, and do not continue to spread it. Most rumors are blown out of proportion, with people elaborating onto the original

Instructions

1. • 1
     Confront the source of the rumor, if you know who started it. This direct approach can bring an immediate end to the rumor. It might also make the person who started it think twice before coming up with another one.
   • 2
     Refuse to spread a rumor if someone shares one with you. Ask them if they are sure the rumor is true, and if not, drop the subject or look into the matter yourself to see if there is any truth behind it.
   • 3
     Consider the reason that the rumor was started if it was about you. You may have behaved in a way that would make the person who started the rumor jump to conclusions. For example, if you were seen at a club dancing with a man who isn't your husband, a rumor may have been started that you cheated on him, when in reality it was just a harmless dance.

     Ask the person spreading the rumor to stop talking about the issue until the two of you can discuss it with the person it is about. Contact this person and listen to their side of the story. If the person spreading the rumor is hesitant to do this, you can probably assume that the rumor is not true. Either way, this will put an end to the speculation.

1. • 1
     Define your goals. If you start a rumor for no particular reason, you put yourself in definite danger of having it come back to haunt you. You'll start to be known as the person as way more about gossip than goods. So, only start a rumor when you have a really good reason. Like, you are really into the cute guy at the office. Or even if you hear of a promotion, simply letting someone know that you may just have a competitive job offer may make them come after you instead of someone else.

     Game your mark. Who are you going to tell the rumor to? Is it the person who actually holds the key to what you want? Or is it the person you know will not be able to resist telling absolutely everybody your little piece of good news. Once you have someone in mind, study them. See what they respond to. What catches their interest? How do they speak about others. By "gaming your mark" you'll be able to feed the information to them in such a way that they have to act on it. For instance if you know the boss' secretary desperately wants the promotion you want, maybe float the idea that you may be leaving the company. She may then make a desperate plea to the boss, who in turn sees her as desperate, and therefore wants someone more confident. Once you make it clear with a few cute turns of phrase that you have no plans to go anywhere and can give some ideas to help the direction of the company, you suddenly look like the "thinking" choice, versus the nagging one, who just "wants it to want it." You get the general idea.

     Craft the rumor. Whether it's about sex, your capabilities, or getting back at a person you can't stand, it's time to craft your rumor. Choose your words carefully. Think about ways in which someone may question you. Then craft your words in such a way that you cannot be challenged, or if you are challenged you can offer evidence which seems empirical and which supports your claim. For instance if you say you slept with a famous celebrity, it will probably fly if you have a cuddly picture of the two of you, or have his phone number saved in your cell phone. Even if you make-up the entry in your cell phone, people will be too afraid to actually have you call the number. They'll simply believe it because they see it!

     Float the rumor. Find your moment. Make sure it's an appropriate time and that all the variables are right. You have the "mark's" attention, they will clearly understand you, and that they are going to be overwhelmed in a way which causes them to act on the rumor. Even if they refuse to show the emotion right away, make sure it is juicy enough that they just can't help themselves from spreading it! Congratulations, you have just started your very own rumor. Now you can sit back and collect the rewards of your mental manipulation!
