Never get to know someone from someone else's mouth
01
You never know how many versions of you are being told by others, and you never know what others have said to undermine you in order to defend themselves, and you never know how to stop unrealistic gossip. And what you can do is ignore it, there is no need to explain and clarify, people who understand you will always believe you. My favorite sentence: If you are not blind, don't know me from other people's mouth!
