I posted recently about a work situation. I was fired cos 2 colleagues basically invented a scenario between them and said they could no longer work with me.
I've now found out that they accused me of lying about having a miscarriage last year in order to help their claims against me. My boss believed them too. This all got way to stressful for me to deal with so I now have a solicitor handling the matter for me and have all of my discharge and doctors notes re the miscarriage for him to forward on as appropriate.
But it's left me shell shocked that people would be so awful. I've had similar happen to me before in another job. A colleague I believed to be a friend confided in me about lots of personal issues she was going through, I helped her and was there for her whenever she needed me. Towards the end of our friendship she had begun to slag our other colleagues off to me which I didn't choose to join in with.
I then went on holiday and come back to find she had told our colleagues that I had been saying all of the awful things SHE had said about them. She'd also told them I had lied about my parents being dead 
which I assure you is fact. It was all so crazy it took me a long time to deal with it.
I often have people instantly disliking me in new jobs and I've taken to not sharing any details about myself because I've been accused of making stuff in the past. I'm so nervous around people and feel like I can't read their intentions. Often I've answered questions believing it was an innocent conversation only later to realise it was either a phishing exercise or an attempt to drop me in it.
Have I just been unlucky or am I just one of those people others love to hate?
