Instruction manual

To become a victim of slander is actually very simple: just share information about yourself, your life with a gossip. Everything else will be thought out for you and presented to the public in the most impartial way. That is why it is very important, especially if you find yourself in a new team for yourself, not to reveal not only your secrets and family problems, but also successes and achievements. Even with your close circle you should not share the intimate details of your life. After all, friends are also different, and at some point they can use your information against you. Of course, you should not go to the other extreme and become a closed and suspicious person, just try to carefully dose your candor.

Kill slander in the bud. If you think that your behavior or the situation you find yourself in may be cause for gossip, just get ahead of your undesirable interpretation. For example, if your colleagues noticed you were leaving the chef's car, then just in passing tell us how you encountered the boss at the intersection, and he out of kindness decided to give you a lift. If you are the first to prevent unpleasant questions and stop the indefatigable fantasy of slanderers, then you will be guaranteed a peaceful sleep.

In order not to become an involuntary victim of slander, try to take less part in the discussion of people yourself. Even if it is customary to gossip in your environment, it’s better to say that you don’t get into other people's problems, since there is no time to sort out your own. You can simply refer to employment or a headache and avoid an unpleasant conversation.
