Rumours

I don’t confirm or deny rumours.  It’s weird because I’m like extra gung ho on this and I’ve always been this way.  If someone male or female wants to talk about me I really don’t care to defend myself to people who want to listen to rumours.  “What other people think about me is none of my business” is kind of my philosophy.  Not that I’m someone who hears a ton of rumours about myself but just in general this is how I feel.  I’ve been asked the most outlandish things and my response is always: it’s none of your business… I don’t confirm or deny rumours, sorry.  So can you imagine how difficult my life gets because I think this way?  It would almost be easier to sit there and say “yes that is true”, “no that is false”.  Instead I respond with “um that’s nunya (business)” and the person who asked me is just like are you serious?!
Yes, I mean it SERIOUSLY.  If you were my FRIEND and you listened to someone talk ish about me and then felt the need to come up to me to ask me if it was true, you really don’t deserve an answer.  At the end of the day you need to grow up, use your brain and make your own decisions about people.   You can’t be spoon fed your whole life waiting around for the truth.  You have to believe what you want and follow through on your beliefs and your instincts.  At the end of the day no matter what I say you’re going to have to choose to believe me or not so I’m just skipping the “whole waste of my time explanation” part and making you decide right away because that’s what you’re going to have to do at the end anyway.  I hate listening to gossip.  I just think people who do are really ugly (physically).  They disgust me.  Obviously, life is not black and white and there are exceptions to this rule but yeah generally speaking I will not ever confirm or deny a rumour, and you shouldn't either :)  Let people think what they want.
On the flip side if I have ever asked someone something, I will believe what they tell me.  I believe that it is better to be deceived than to distrust a friend.  Also, if they are lying to me, their fate lies in God’s hands not mine, so it doesn’t harm me to believe them.
