Bullies have spread fake nasty rumors about me.

I'm really having a problem dealing with people at work. I've had bullies in my workplace spreading some nasty lies about me having a small penis.

It started because someone didn't like me for some reason. This person then went around trying to recruit people to hate me with her. I didn't realize it was bullying at the time. I thought she just didn't like me and unfortunately some people are just toxic like that.

So I just tried to ignore her. Then I noticed that people were just accusing me of all kinds of things. That I was leaving messes and accusing me of trying to steal food. I also noticed that people were bonding by saying bad things about me. I still continued to ignore them.

So I guess they escalated and now started saying that I have a small penis. Which I don't, I'm average size and they haven't seen it. They've been making small penis jokes around me for a while but I didn't think they were talking about me. Then someone said it and I realized that they were saying that about me all this time.

I kinda messed up and got visibly upset. So they think they stuck a nerve. But seriously who wouldn't get mad if people were saying this about them. I was even so mad that I was planning on showing someone so they could shut up because I don't think being average sized is something to be embarrassed about. Luckily the person wasn't there that day and I came to my senses before I lost my job.

Now I seriously don't know what to do. I feel so disgusted that they went that far and been saying this about me. It's just so infuriating and humiliating to even be around these people now. I don't know how I can continue working with them. But I have to because I make good money. They since stopped saying anything but I bothers me so much that they now think I'm the small penis guy that they laugh about when it's not even true. I never even done anything to these people. They're just demented when they're supposed to be professional educated people.

I also don't know if going to HR is a good idea at this point. Because I wasn't on point and documenting things and many of these things happened a while ago. Not to mention that even more people will then think I have a small penis.

I don't know I guess I'm just venting and wondering if anyone knows how can I even continue with these people. Because finding another job like this isn't easy. Not to mention that I don't want to lose my pension by leaving.

How do you guys continue working at a job after getting bullied?

I don't want to give too much information here not to risk any of my coworkers stumbling on here. I was recently the victim of some intense workplace bullying.

I found out they've been spreading some pretty horrible rumors about me. I knew some people were but I didn't know the extent they have taken it. I recently found out and was just horrified to find out just how demented these people were.

They seen my reaction and I think they realized that they've taken it too far and have some have started being nice to me. I just have trouble seeing these people and trying to do my job after finding out some of the demented rumors they've been spreading about me.

I want to punch some people in the face (of course I know I shouldn't) and tell other people that what they've been saying isn't true. I just think people might think it's true if I protest too much.

Other than that it's a pretty well paying job for easy work so I can't just leave. But it just feels so humiliating to be there after hearing what they've been saying about me. I don't know how I can continue working there, but the money is too good to leave.
