Do you find happiness of talking other people's lives?

Well personally i dont prefer talking abt other people's lives. but sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you find it hard to prevent such talks. lets say for example when you are consoling or discussing with a friend a problem which does not concern you at all. but still you will have to listen to it because ur friend entrusts only you with that discussion. and it doesnt stop there only, most of the times after having done with his words he would expect you to give a word of advice to him. then what will you do? so all i will say is that i do discuss other people's lives but i make it a point that my discussion doesnt have any negative effect in anyone's life.

Gossipers dont have any other work than interfering in others life and talking about others life rather then mending their life..I hate this a lot. I feel its none of our buisness to discuss about others life and speading about it..And i have enough useful things to do in life other than this...

I dont know how will we be able to find happiness talking with other's people life. I believe that if that person is not doing any harm to you or to anybody... then there would be no reason for you to talk about him/her. We all have bad sides in our life and I think that nobody would have the right to judge us...

That's really yucky and disgusting. I can never do that. There's no fun in talking about other people's lives. And my aunt, and cousins even the guts to discuss my sister's marital life right in front of me. I would try telling them off in a polite manner, but still they wouldn't budge. Shameless are they and most of those who are like them. Yes, people need a pastime and they just indulge in some stupid gossip and talking ill of others. That's their way, because I guess they have nothing else to do. You can't believe, the most of the educated ones indulge in such things. I guess, education doesn't change people's attitudes at all. I hate my relatives who do this and my cousins are so educated and one is a chartered accountant working with corporates and she joins her mother in talking about people's lives and gossiping about what's happening in who's house and who bought a car, who has the money, and who said what, and who behaves how...!!!! Yuck!!!!

No, I don't. I always carry this thought with me.. As the saying goes "SMALL people talk about other people, AVERAGE PEOPLE talk about things, while GREAT people talk about ideas and somehow try to make it happen". If I'll keep on minding other people's lives, then I could consider myself as someone who's brain is so small. But since I am not, why should I waste my time in minding their life considering that I have a life of my own. Why not reflect on the failures and achievements I have made and try to look for some possible improvements I could make.

no i don't find happyness in my life by talking about other peoples lives. why would you do that? it hsa the possibility of destroying other peoples lives...

No it is only waste of time and interference in other's affiars. I like to mend my own work rather than indulging in talking about others.

I don't want to talk about people life, but I like to learn the suspenseful stories from them. I am happy at their success to share with the others.

Small minds talk about other people. Great minds talk about ideas. Take your pick.

Hi Grecychunny26, Many people love gossiping as they have probably not much else to talk about, to begin with :) People of a certain age, when retired especially do that, and for the same reason as above, combined with - since they do not work anylonger - much less is happening in their lives. When young people are doing it - it's done mostly to impress someone else with how much they know about others. :)

Maybe this is your one think.I have talk others life,but I think this is not right.I know,maybe I talk others life,other one are talking my life.So now,I don't talk others life.In I and my friends,we talk our life,discuss what can be us make happy more?

I don't. When someone talks to me about other people's affairs, i get paranoid that she will do the same thing to me. I sometimes get caught up in gossips, but that's all about celebrities and showbiz :)
