How To Be The Bigger Person When Someone Lies About You

from The Way You Show Up · host Kimberly Beam Holmes, PhD

Someone lied about me.Not a small lie. The kind that twists your words, takes them out of context, and drags your name through the mud in front of an audience.And I'll be honest with you. It made me angry.I wanted to write the email. I wanted the last word. I wanted everyone to hear my side of the story.If you've ever been gossiped about, lied about, or watched someone tell a version of you that simply wasn't true, you know exactly what that feels like.So what do you actually do?In this video, I walk through how to handle it without becoming the very thing that hurt you.How to name the lie and say the truth. Why "everyone has to like me" might be the deeper lie you're telling yourself. How to find a pressure release before you react. What it really means to give up your right for revenge. And the question a mentor once asked me that completely changed how I respond.Being the bigger person doesn't mean being a doormat. It doesn't mean staying silent every single time. It means deciding who you want to become before you decide what you want to say.Watch the full video, then tell me in the comments: how have you handled someone lying about you? And after watching this, what would you do differently now?Until next time, stay strong.I'm Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes.
