friends and gossip

I am not a fan of gossip. My mom always said if you do not have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. I am sure we have all gossiped ourselves but there is a line. I think as long as you do not show an intrest in your friends gossiping then it will stop. You can always tell the gossiping friend that you do not like their gossiping. If you can't be honest with your friends then who can you be honest with?

I have some friends who gossip. To them, I am very careful what I say so it wont come back to bite me in the butt! I have a good friend that is great at keeping a secret - unless she's drinking, then she spills her guts of everything she knows! It's funny, but sooo frustrating. I've had to call her on this more than a few times and she's always very sorry, but she always does it again - ugh!

I don’t have any friends who gossip other people. We talked some of our friends but it was not a gossip. It is more of updating some of our friend on what were happening to our other friends. When we got the chanced to talk to our friend we say to her/him that we talked to one of our friend about you. It’s always like that in my clique of friends. We tried not to gossip each other. If ever I have one friend who loves to gossip, I would be careful what I’ll say to him/her.

I really can't tolerate gossip myself. I never like to talk about people and I wish others would respect me as well. I have had people tell me stories about others and wondered from time to time if they might be talking about me behind my back. You have to be careful the kind of friends that you keep. You need to have a lot of trust before you can confide things to people. I have shut myself off to some people just because I get a feeling that might not be good about them.

I always put in my mind that my friends always talked behind my back.I find its normal for friends specially when you get an insecure and very jealous friends they wanted to talk most of the bad things of you. I don't understand sometimes, so everytime that i leave the group and going at home i always told them not to talk behind my back coz i know them already that they always making gossips about me. So i warned them. Happy posting.

Keep your private life (where this friend is concerned) exactly where it is...PRIVATE!!!...hehe...When listening to her "poison words", try to keep your opinions to yourself & be careful how you word thing's, if you find it hard to just listen!...I have friends similar...And I put them in their place a.s.a.p. if I know what they say is untrue...I remind my friends "People in glass houses, shouldnt throw stones!"...Have a great day.

Hi. I have a friend who loves to talk about other people too much. She would usually open up discussions about gossips and rumors on people people she know and used to know. It would usually make me feel uneasy knowing she's like that. It makes me wonder if she also talks about me and her other friends when they are talking. I would usually remind her not to spread gossips and rumors and make her think about how would she feel if she were the topic of someone else's gossip. She's learning to tone down on her gossiping right now and it's a good start.
