What could you say to a person who believes in gossips?

gossip is silly, celebrities thrive on it to get to higher places. Regular people don't usually know that Granny picked up on fruit basket turn over. This is a game where a fact was told and then it's passed on to several people until it becomes twisted with lies. If you are around gossipers, just walk away, if you want trouble, it's a perfect way to get it. I am a former victim of being gossiped on, it hurts and it's usually lies. You can ignore into a certain point but then it becomes annoying

i would just say i dont repeat things i dont know are true, maybe they would get the hint, or maybe say i dont believe what i dont see

“Gossip is vice enjoyed vicariously”. i got this form some of the quotes of a brilliant man who viewed gossip as evidently can damage human relationships. it is even served as the life's spices for everyone without noticing and realizing its end effects. i wouldn't spread the words if it's not for the betterment.

People believing in gossips are very hard to take them out because they won't be able to stay far from it for even a few days, It irritates me and in the office it is the same, its horrible when others really believe in gossiping, I wish I could handle it or eradicate it completely but then I prefer to ignore it to feel better.

It depends about the gossips, If its true I think I have no problem with that.

I would tell them that I am basicaly carrying my useless boss who is theiving from the company to fund his coke habit then I would sit back and wait for that long deserved promotsion.

I know before, a friend who always like to hear gossip and to share gossip. People that kind don't have priorities in life because they choose to engaged and to care on someone else life rather for themselves. People like them likes to make fun of the untruth. I adviced that friend of mine to stop talking about other's life but being a gossiper had sting to her system and she can't avoid to share a rumor she knows. I do not share a secret with her just to be careful because I already know her attitude, she will just let it slide with other people at my back. And the truth, i do not trust person who believe in gossips.

I actually try to avoid people like this. Sometimes that's impossible. I definitly don't repeat their gossip.

hi neelianoscet I would tell anyone who is gossiping in my earshot'that I do not like gossip,its demeaning and harmful so please do not do this in my presence. I refuse to add to the gossip too if its spreading around with the people I associate with. to anyone who believes in gossips I would say what proof do you have that that is true? Did you ask the person who they say did this if she did it? no, well forget it. gossip is lies, untruth and plain evil. If they are talking about me I will confront the main gossip and tell her that she is spreading lies, and if she wants to know the real truth ask me to my face. this usually shuts them right up.

I'll tell them to use their brains, stop being gullible and put their heads out of other people's businesses. LOL.

Generally, if a person believes and listens to gossips, they are just inviting trouble their way. Gossip never gets repeated truthfully and ends up hurting someone. Things are said that are misconstrued. Gossip hurts more than it helps.

Keep an open mind. Be a eavesdropper, not a reporter unless you are paid for your views and hearsay.

don't care what people say about you and live your life the way yo like it, because we all live only once and you can't turn back time

We can listen Gossips and just enjoy..But believing that 100% is very bad..Listening is not a problem but telling to everyone without knowing true or not is not good..I just get to know movie gossips and not about anyone's personal life..

Who doesn't like gossips, as long as it dun concern them?? lol =D I guess it's part of human nature, to join in to any kind of teasing, back stabbing for the joy of it, but never the intention to hurt anyone?? hehe I think we humans tend to believe in whatever we hear, and not just gossips.. UNless one is really very serious in life, or overly suspicious, only then they will be half believing, half suspecting on the truth of things.. hehe

Well, after all gossips are just gossips.You never know if its true or not. But it gives a hint on what might possibly been happening. Its fine to listen, but to believe immediately takes wise decision making.
