I Feel Targeted by Rumours but Have No Proof—How Can I Cope?

Hi everyone, I need advice about something that has been troubling me for years. I feel that people may be spreading false rumours about me. Nobody has confronted me directly, but I often worry about what I notice in conversations and body language around me. It has left me feeling anxious and depressed. How can I deal with these feelings without jumping to conclusions? Should I speak with someone I trust or seek professional support to help me understand and manage the situation?

Has there been anyone you trust who could help you separate actual comments from the worry caused by reading conversations and body language?

Is there one neutral person you could speak with who can help you check what you have actually heard versus what you fear?

Carrying this uncertainty for years sounds exhausting, especially when nobody has spoken to you directly and every interaction starts feeling loaded.

It is understandable to feel unsettled, but body language and overheard conversations can be ambiguous, so they may not reliably mean rumours are being spread.

Try noting specific incidents and how they made you feel, then discuss the pattern with a trusted person or mental health professional for support.
