Why do people spread rumors?

Question

For some reason a lot of strange and untrue rumors have been going around about me and people i know, like my friends and cousins and to be honest, we're good people and we dont start any fighhts with anyone. These rumors are started by people who dont even know us. Whats going on with that?

Answer 1

they have nothing better to do, they feel better about themselves after , their jealous, are low lives,

ignore them

if it goes too out of hand, confront them

but you cant fight a fire with fire, be calm and say you dont appreciate it

Answer 2

Well, they probably see you are a happy bunch, and because they are unhappy with themselves, they want to start rumors just to make themselves feel better. I know it sounds odd, but people are that way.  

Answer 3

well . a lot of people just start rumors because they are jealous .

or maybe because you and your cousins have something that they don't . just ignore the rumors ! who cares what others think !

Answer 4

You live inthe world.  That is just what it is.  There are all kinds of people who have nothing else to do but to hurt other people for no reason at all.  Just don't worry about the rumors.  The people who know you willknow just that, that they are rumors.

Answer 5

those people probably have nothing better to do and need some excitement in their life.  so they have to spread rumors about others to make themselves feel better.  that's so immature and they should learn to grow up.

you shouldn't let those rumors get to you.  in the end, it might come back to bite them.  the only thing that's important is that you and your friends/family know what's true and what are lies.  those people spreading the rumors aren't worth being around.

Answer 6

rumers are like the smaller version of the news for people who have no lives.

Answer 7

it might be that they are jealous in some sort of way or they don't like you and they want to make you look bad, there is some people out there that would do stuff like that, and that's just who they are. these people might also be insecure
