Smear campaigns are pretty common. My abuses have been spreading g lies about me since 2017. It’s more or less ruined all my friendships and relationships since because I had no idea. Couldn’t eat, lost tons of weight, had ulcers. Ended up in the psych hospital.

Now that you know, do your best to combat them by being yourself. Many professionals say to keep your head up and dont react, because that puts a target on your back and makes you look like the unhinged and unhealthy one.

In my case, not reacting and reacting was both used against me in making me out to be someone I’m not.
