How do you get people stop spreading rumours about you?

Friend advice

Have you ever experienced when someone was really mean to you and you haven't bothered to look them up and then you see a photo of them and you realised how ugly they look. That's what I experienced with looking at a photo of this person. Also it was a photo of that person we call Sophie who is friends with for example Bob and I'm friends with Bob too. Bob posted online a photo of himself with Sophie recently . What I notice was it had a lot of likes but what got to me was a friend I'm friends with let's say named Sarah liked it. But what I notice was Sarah never likes my posts and hardly anyone likes my post. So I'm wondering of this maybe sophie is spreading bad rumours about me. I thought maybe I should get rid of Sarah as a friend and Bob. I told Bob too much personal stuff and I'm afraid he probably has gossip about me. I dont trust them. Well from my experience with them it makes sense why I wouldn't trust them.
I just don't want a bad rap because that means I make no friends because of Sophie. I thought about this because a friend of mine well we name him Andrew told me when I use to talk to him how he be told that even now sophie was talking bad about him. And happened between them probably 4 years a go now. I mean how do you get someone like Sophie to stop talking about you that it affects people how they veiw you or even make friends. I mean she could know someone if I study something and she tell them about me and spread bad rumours about me. I even apologise to Sophie more more than once. This happened 6 months ago. This all happened because I said to her "I don't appreciate the negative comment" and she went all angry about me because of that.
Any advice?

History with Sarah

She bullied me at high school, had to change schools. Got that bad.
Following year she come to my school. Because she was bullied (talk about karama)
Sarah and I go to animation course . She meets Sophie at animation course who went to our school. I didn't know her. Sarah and sophie plus Bob builded me. I had to change desk in the class and got so unbearable I had to change classes in the animation course.

Following second year of animation.
I wasn't allowed to sit next to Sarah or Sophie. I wanted to mend things but I wasnt allowed to sit next to them.

Lost contact for a while. But spoke to me online.
I invited them to come to my short film. Never did.
They hang out without me knowing.

Sarah one point got angry at me because I changed my mind going to the Bush walk because I felt anxious. She ignored me .

Forwards to present.
Sophie got angry at me because I said I didn't like negivitie comment said about my art work. She never liked my art work on facebook even though I liked hers and he ever I showed her my art. She say simple things like I like the pens around the border. She would send me art to me and she say it's bad but them posted on her Facebook page.
Abyway she got angry at me and I apologise to her more than once. Through Txt.
I got rid of her as a friend on facebook and then add her again because I changed my mind. She refused because I heard through Andrew it was because I got rid of her as a friend in Facebook too many times. Which was just 3 times in the space I know her.

When I was going through my love transference towards my therapist and I was struggling Sophie would say I'm a
A dog with a bone in its mouth towards my therapist.

Andrew told me that Sophie had a go at him because I spoke about situation between me and Sophie. Sophie said don't listen to her come and talk to.me she seeking acceptance.
He showed me the conversation they had. I realised I told Bob that I spoken to Andrew about it. So how would Sophie know? Well I thought logic idea would be Bob told Sophie. I asked Bob but he said no that you can put two together and it's obvious.
I asked Bob could he talk to Sophie since Bob offered apparently he did and he told me "nah man, you have to give her time"

She blocked me on Facebook.
What do you do?

What I, personally, would do is not put so much stock in Facebook. It's just Facebook, not reality. The first thing I read in this post was "Have you ever experienced when someone was really mean to you...and then you realize how ugly they look?" No, actually, I haven't. Sure, I dwell on stuff, because I'm super sensitive, but that really isn't the first thing that comes to mind. What I, personally, would do in this case is live my life first and foremost for me, not regarding what other people think. If people are spreading rumors about me, it wouldn't be the first time. And that's on them, anyway. There isn't anything you can do to make them stop. The only time I care about rumors is when I know that maybe I've done something wrong/to hurt someone. Otherwise, whatever; other people's opinion's of me are their business. Only thing a person can do is live their lives, be kind, and be true to themselves. If people still want to spread rumors about you, then those are people you just stay away from.

Good response graystreet.

The only time I care about a rumor is if it affects me personally or professionally. And usually it doesn't; although recently I had someone, actually here on PC, spread a rumor about me that wasn't true. But there's nothing I can do about it. I can't control what this person says. I can only be me and trust that I have a long enough and good enough reputation with the people here that they know that person is full of ****.

None of the people you mentioned sound like very good friends. I would scrap them all. You mentioned at one point that they were all bullying you. You don't need to be friends with people who abused you. Unfriend them all and remove the toxicity from your life.

At first it will be hard to remove yourself from the drama, but in the end, you will be happier for it.
