Welcome to psychcentral!

...and ppl who WANT your attention also begin rumors... the stuff in school though, especially about sex ARE rampid..it's such a "heated" topic to begin with.

I am curious though, HOW do you know there are rumors circulating about you?

I found that once I made it clear that I do NOT spread rumors myself, that I don't discuss others behind their backs, that ppl quite telling ME stuff about others, and eventually left me out of the topic list also. One way I did/do this: if someone says something about another, especially if it's damaging, I say, Wow, can we meet and clear that up together with them? Or Gee, is it ok if I tell them you think that???

Some ppl will always talk. Paying less attention to it, if you do hear about it, will make it go away sooner, and possibly totally. You become "no fun" if you don't know or don't react.

As for the general theme of the rumors you mentioned, I wonder if you are a sensitive fellow. Perhaps you are also more in touch with your feminine side than many ppl are used to? Maybe you are evoking those responses "unconsciously?" A good T would be able to help you figure that out.

Again, welcome!
