Maligned

I had people think I was pregnant when I left my freshman year of high school for mental health reasons!

But when it came to school I mostly flew under the radar. The only rumors that spread about me were usually drug related and likely very true, haha. I don't think I have any accusations lined against me on the internet; really the only place I hang out at regularly is here, so I guess let me know if I'm wrong lol.
 
When I was in university, I met a friend who used to go to my high school also in the dorms I'm living at. She told me how she heard rumors of me dropping out university for community college. Most likely coming from how several times I made a show of my anxiety and stress during class, and that it got bad that I had to be taken to my school counselor on occasion.
 
I don't really have any personal problems except the absolute bullcrap my sister pulls, so I don't have many rumors spread about me, considering my epic grades and generally not-bad demeanor. (If I were in a story right now, I'd sound like a Mary Sue.) There was a time period, though, where everyone was terrified of me because I was so serious and carried scissors around everywhere I went. I was once cutting paper in class because I was bored, and my friend, Bradly, told me it looked scary because I was so focused.
 
Only once. It was also my only incident with another student in high school.

I was in the cafeteria in the morning studying, with some of my belongings spread across the table. A senior, who I had seen around but hadn't ever spoken with takes a seat right beside me. His friends were at a nearby table looking on, so I already knew he had ill intent. Of course he starts vandalizing my things, snapping my pencils and throwing my binders. I warned him a couple times to stop. My next action was foolish and probably would have gotten me hurt. He towered over me, but despite our size difference I entered a fighting stance. Thankfully a teacher got in between us, he didn't scare me at all, but his eyes didn't even look human. It was like staring at someone possessed when I entered that stance.

Still. the teacher later got us back together to shake hands and put it behind us. It went well and that was final.

But nope, because I had people approaching asking me if I was okay for the next few days. He started a rumor that he had punched me and I curled up on the floor. Despite that it never became physical, and even after we made up he started that rumor anyways.

I still saw him around. Never spoke to him again and he never spoke to me. I could have asked why he started that rumor, but it didn't matter and I just wanted the entire thing behind me.
 
When I was in sixth grade, someone started a rumor that I had a crush on this one girl who some people didn't like/thought was weird (I didn't, but even if I did why would it have mattered?) People would say "oh, you like her?" and I would be like "umm, no." Not sure who started it but I met a lot of people that later turned out to be total jerks that year, so... probably one of them.

Also in fifth grade, there was a new kid in my class that I became friends with but like a month later he started (falsely) accusing me of saying swear words to him when we were in line in the hall and told our teacher, but he was the one that was actually swearing at me! I had a pretty awesome teacher that year though and he believed me when I told him it wasn't true (because I would never have done that) and later he actually overheard and caught the other kid swearing in the hall lol
 
My aunt constantly accuses me of losing stuff in our house just because I lost a screwdriver once (2 years ago). I constantly find the stuff she's looking for hidden deep inside the cluttered mess that is her room.

This just reminded me!!!

My mom was a heavy drinker and at one point went on an absolute RAMPAGE because she thought I stole a dozen eggs out of the fridge, every tube of toothpaste in the house, and a candy bar from the freezer. Obviously I didn't do any of those things cause, like, what on earth would I do with that combination of items?? lmaooo. But your post made me remember this and it's one of the more humorous memories I have of my mom, so thank you. ♡
 
With rumors, yes. It was constant in school, especially in middle school. Even parents did it and I was 12.

EDIT: also this one lady in wal mart tried to accuse me of theft...of tassimo coffee cups, like individual ones that were being served as a taste test.

There were a lot of rumors towards us having crushes on people growing up or being gay, which I guess comes with being queer but having no interest in being in a relationship. I'm sure there was also more, but we didn't really pay attention. We also regularly get falsely accused of stuff because most of the signs of lying (not making eye contact, fidgeting, etc) are things that we do under most situations. We also didn't have the best control of our expressions and would smile in inappropriate situations, so you could probably see how we got placed under serious accusations because body wouldn't work right.

On the internet mostly, we've been accused of faking being a system more times than I can count, which we've reached a point where we don't care as long as people aren't making an attempt to gaslight us (which unfortunately also has happened more times than I can count).

We've also been accused of being something extremely messed up I don't think I can say here. The story with that was a few years ago we had a friend who had an awful ex-friend. The ex-friend I think found us through their Discord and started to responding to posts on Tumblr saying not to interact with us because we're the thing I can't say on a PG-13 website. Thankfully it was squashed when they had to provide evidence and only included a heavily censored Discord message of them talking to someone who was a "victim", and the friend came forth explaining who they were and apologizing for the ex-friend targeting us.

We were also somehow accused of that a second time, but because we mentioned we volunteer with kids and babysit, and have kids in our system who sometimes front when we volunteer. That was it. Thankfully the person who started that rumor was kicked from the Discord server they were trying to start stuff in, and they later apologized to us.

but yeah wild stuff
