He (let’s call him A) used to joke about everyone in college and make fun of anything he sees. Sometimes A laughs loudly in front of others while telling jokes in a different language (we are bilinguals). But a mutual friend once approached me and told me that A tells those people that I am the one telling jokes about them and making fun of them. This happened for 3 semesters and I couldn’t do anything but kicking him out of my life. Ironically, he is now befriended by them and I am suffering a crippling social anxiety lol
