“The first way to tell if someone is lying and giving your their persuasive version of events. Ask them do they mind having the same story told with the person in the room that they are talking about! Now if that person hesitate or tells you this information is to just stay between you and them, then trust and believe the one feeding you the rumor is the main person behind the issue. Rumors spend more time finding out information to spread about you to someone else, so they can hide the bullshit of their participation, which started the mess in the first place!”
