[quote=Anonymous]I am crushed and a little numb right now because one of my colleagues, who is a bit combative, told me last week that I am regarded as a pathological liar.  He kept bringing up examples of little things I'd shared about my childhood/life (in conversations when everyone was sharing these things) and saying things like, "Come on, that really throws your credibility into question."  I asked someone else who I trust, and it turns out that yes, the gossip about me is that I have a lying problem and lie constantly.  But it isn't true!  I DID have a somewhat unusual childhood due to my parents' overseas job posts, but there are hundreds/thousands of other families who lived the same way.  So apparently, people have been asking me questions about my past experiences under the pretense of interest, but really because they have all been laughing behind my back about my lies (which are not lies!).  Apparently even one of my supervisors believes that I am a pathological liar(!).

I don't know what to do about it, and I'm so, so hurt.  I had really regarded one of those people as my friend, and I also learned that she had been sharing more personal details I'd shared only with her as further examples of my pathological lies.  Should I even attempt to address this with the group/colleagues?  To me, it seems very childish to do something like that, but I am so hurt/mortified now that I can't see how I can act normally around them now.  [/quote]
