chatting,gosping

i never gossip about anyone with anyone. i just chat with people online. sometimes it is hard for people to notice if they are gossiping. but for me i already knnow i dont because i dont talk about other people behind their back or anything like that.

getting caught up on things is discusiing things that could not hurt someone. Gossiping is when you talk about someone in a negative behavior and it can hurt them.

When you start talking bad about people or start talking about rumors with no relevance to your own life - then you're gossiping. There's also a difference in tone, usually. People who gossip are usually doing so in a 'catty' way - and in a way that's meant to be condescending towards others. There's a difference in chit-chatting and gossiping about someone. For example, chit-chatting is usually harmless, isn't meant to hurt anyone's feelings or feel better about oneself - and isn't also discussing something that MAY or MAY NOT be true. When you're gossiping, you're usually taking a small rumor way out of porportion by assuming that it's the truth - and you're usually trying to be mean. I think there's a rather huge difference.

i think we can do more with cahtting, like share with other user, privat les, and more. not only gossiping. Thank you
