1 . How to Deal With Rumors

Rumors (谣言) are the worst. But due to life's reality of people loving gossip, rumors are bound to happen.    1    So it's best to practice things when the rumor mill comes knocking at your door.

Don't Be frightened. Sure, easier said than done, right?     2    The truth is that people are waiting to see your reaction. They are waiting to see you sweat. But for real, don’t sweat it! You know very well this is just rumor, so carry yourself confidently as you brush past the petty.

Remaining calm, cool and collected is the key to not stirring the pot even more. Trust us.    3    If you know who started the rumor, don't be afraid to defend it forcefully foryourself. You may feel personally victimized by Regina George, so naturally your emotions are running high, but the key to positive communication and to fixing the chaos is a calm yet assertive conversation. Tell the person how you feel. Stay true to who you are, and feel good about standing your ground.

Know you're in good company. Famous persons deal with rumors all of the time. They either set the record straight via social media or an interview, or most often, they stay under the radar until it blows over. The important thing to remember, in all of this, is it will all become last week's news.     4     It will blow over and it will get better. Hang in there.

Talk to people you love. Dealing with a rumor is hard to go through alone, especially because you already feel like the world is against you.     5    They would never believe an untrue rumor about you anyway, so why pay any attention to the ones who do? Open up and talk to your family and friends. They will help you get through.
