Damaged reputations will be hard to recover or repair. This is why protecting your reputation is so important. Sometimes, losing your reputation is not your fault and sometimes it is your own mistake. Regaining your good reputation is not easy - but you can achieve it with patience, determination, and perseverance.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Remove a bad reputation

1. 

   Accept that others will always remember. Over time, they will care less, but keep it in mind. This doesn't mean you can't fix your bad reputation. The bad reputation is only temporary. Everything depends on time. Over time, people will stop paying too much attention to what you did in the past.
   • Many people often have to deal with their own failures and those of others. And they're so prominent that they forget about you. Remember, you are the one who will remember your mistakes more than others. Perhaps in the eyes of others, your bad reputation is not as bad as you think it is.
   • Research has shown that, contrary to popular perception, when compared to other means of social evaluation, a bad reputation is often not as important as many other factors.
   • Stay away and stop using social media and online.

2. 

   
   
   Talk to others about it. You should be upfront when raising issues surrounding your bad reputation. If you are sincerely calm, respectful, and anxious, they will help you. By not speaking out through words, you allow people to deduce and create false rumors.
   • If someone is actively spreading your bad reputation, talk to them first.
   • Consult your friends about this.
   • There should be no defensive attitude.

3. 

   
   
   Turn it into strength. Maybe your bad reputation is the disguise of your superpowers. Take some time to think about whether your bad reputation is a positive factor and refine your view of the situation. Maybe you are not a flirtatious person, you are just the master of your sex life. If people think you are too aggressive in sports, you are probably the heavy artillery on the team.

4. 

   
   
   Change other people's thinking. Sometimes, you just need to control the perception of others. Perhaps they did not consider the situation properly. If possible, help people perceive the situation in a completely different way.
   • Provide a calculated positive perspective. This means finding ways to manipulate the events and actions that caused you to have a bad reputation. For example, sometimes, people feel ashamed of promiscuity, even though others view the promiscuity as "controlling your sex life" or "being sexually active." Think about a way that will help them see your actions completely differently.
   • Know that you will not be able to change people's views.

5. 

   To claim the accusation was a lie. You should say that your bad reputation is not true. If you've ever been deceived, it can take a while to be able to eliminate the damage it caused. You need to be assertive (not aggressive), and make sure you spread the word as soon as possible. Ask someone else to help you present the truth of the story. The longer a bad reputation lasts, the harder it will be for you to manage it.
   • Clear any misunderstandings.
   • Speak up to challenge lies.

Part 2 of 3: Developing a good reputation

1. 

   Work well on a regular basis. The fastest way to improve your reputation is by doing good deeds. Be careful: if your bad reputation has just formed recently, you may appear hopeless or overcompensating by doing a ton of good deeds. This is not a temporary solution. You need to do well on a regular basis in order to improve your reputation or run the risk of being viewed as dishonest. Building a reputation is not easy and takes a lot of time, but destroying it is easy and quick. Consistency is crucial in establishing a solid reputation for you.
   • Bring coffee to a colleague, or ask to be on duty on their behalf if they want to rest.
   • Give a friend a helping hand, like giving them a ride or giving them a hand before they ask you to.
   • Make an effort to make people comfortable when you think they are not feeling well.

2. 

   Volunteer. There are many ways to volunteer. Caring for the elderly or the disabled, garden or community events, as well as helping out a church are great ways to volunteer. The zoological farm is also a good opportunity to provide some help. By taking your time to help others, you can improve your reputation.
   • If you are still in school, you should find out what you can do. Many public schools and colleges often offer students quite a variety of opportunities.
   • Many companies have an interesting volunteer program. You can chat with your supervisor or human resources to learn more about the opportunities they offer.

3. 

   Learn from the situation. Be sympathetic to people with bad reputations. After gaining insight from your experience, by being kind to someone who doesn't think well of them by others, you will be able to develop a sense of positivity. Take the opportunity to meet someone with a bad reputation around you who needs a friend.

4. 

   Impress others. You need to try harder. Do some great activity. Play musical instruments. Win awards and scholarships. Marathon race. By doing impressive things, you can improve the way people see you. Respecting others can be of great help in improving your reputation. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Making sustainable change

1. 

   Make some changes in your life. External factors, such as your group of friends, habits, and workplace will be essential to the growth of your reputation. The environment with bad people and relationships is the source of your problems. Take some time to consider whether you need to change certain people and places in your life.
   • If you have a bad reputation among your friends, maybe it's time to spend time with others. Maybe your friends encourage a habit that makes others think badly about you.
   • At the company, a harmful work environment creates unreasonable expectations from others. The work environment promotes an unhealthy work-life balance that can make hard-working, conscientious people seem lazy. Evaluate your workplace culture, and think about whether some value conflict is causing damage to your reputation. You may need to find a new job.

2. 

   Change yourself. This will be quite difficult. But when you see yourself from someone else's point of view, and you don't like this image, you should change. Changing ourselves is not easy because we develop strong patterns and habits in our lives. However, by changing their behavior, people will notice. This approach will change their perception of you, and may cause them to re-evaluate their perception of you who you are.
   • Seek professional help, like a therapist or psychiatrist.
   • Ask a life coach or a spiritual life coach to help you make your inner changes.

3. 

   Avoid myopic change. Short-sighted change is not the same as sincere change. It will be difficult to maintain consistency for dishonest behavior. People will know when you are not sincere. Making real changes is more difficult than pretending to be someone else. advertisement

Advice

• Give yourself enough time to make amends. Usually, when we make mistakes, we often want to get rid of them quickly. Unfortunately, things won't work out as you want them to - this is why you should protect your reputation by being a kind person.
• Remember that "proving the negative" is not easy. When someone says something to you, it can be hard for you to prove that you didn't, unless someone knows this well (they are there for you at the time you are supposed to did that action). Instead of trying to "prove or object", you just need to make it clear that you are innocent and that's enough. In the future, you should show your good personality carefully, so that when people hear that you have failed at a job, the first thing they think will be "Chau won't do it. Certainly a problem has arisen, or if this is true then there will be a good reason.
• Once you have restored your reputation, protect it.Don't allow anyone to spread false rumors about you - but instead of explaining to the person who told you about the untrue information they heard, go find the person who told you. that person know about this. Keep searching until you find the root of the rumor. Question the person - ask why it works. "What did I do that made you hate me? Why are you saying such things about me?". When you know the source of the rumor, you have a chance to put an end to it completely.

Warning

• You cannot fix everything. There's no single apology to please certain types of people - instead, they love to joke around with the victim and turn you into a sinner. If this is the case, it is best to move forward.
