why is it?

I think I'm relating to how you feel more than you k now. My ex boyfriend that i was seeing back in may was spreading rumors about me saying that I never took a shower and never took a bath and that i didn't use soap, or have soap in the shower, he also told every one in his family that i lived in a rat infested house. so here's the break down; he would watch me and even help me wash my back when he was here and that was practically every other day. I took baths not showers. I'm a big person and I'm short. I sweat in other places you can't see so i like taking a baths instead of showers. next, I doin't use soap i use body wash. last but not least, i had a mouse problem over the winter. the house has only been lived in for a year and it was vacant for 6 months atleast between home owners. it's not like I planted them there and told them to be happy and mulitply right. anyways, it took about two weeks and we got rid of them. I didn't have the money for an exterminator. anyways, he told his family all of that and his friend who was my best friend boyfriend at the time stood right there and agreed with them. I was told that my best friend tiffany stood up for me but i was never told what she said and no one ever said anything about it after she told me. He tried to deny right after i was told about it and we got back together and a week before my birthday in May we ended it because he kept denying it. He even told his sister who he lived with that he spent the whole $1100 dollars of his pay checks on me when I barely ate out on him. and he put gas in my car for me taking him back and forth to work. anyways sweetie, sorry to go in detail, but I can deffinately understand how it feels because someone decided it was gunny and it was just a game to put rumors out there about me that wasn't true.

Welcome to mylot annabel. Gossip is what no one claims to like but everybody enjoys. I really am not the type who would spread rumours or discredit the integrity of the person so I would really be shocked if I heard something like this and do not think will be able to sleep.

I don't like talking about people's personal lives especially they have nothing to do with my life. I was a victim of gossip and defamatory statements also. That is why I really hate those people who have nothing to do with their lives but to talk about other's lives. People with big minds involve themselves in healthy discussions but people with small minds talk about people. Those who love gossips have small minds, that's why.

to answer of your question.. coz those people who likes gossip or doing such a thing coz they don't nothing at all .. meaning their minds is not busy at all. those people have an " IDLE " mind... that's their problem. if they can do something important how can this people have time to gossip. Yes, they can SLEEP. an idle mind has nothing to do but to sleep.. then gossip. How can you trust and expect those people who like gossip? what will I react. NOTHING.. IF I KNOW, the truth. I will confront someone who pointing the fingers on me being the lead role of gossip... if that is NOT true at all... why should I bother, if i won't do it at all??

Gossip is like an avalanche. A small rock which gains momentum rolling down until it accumulates enough power to damage anything in its path. Gossip likewise has destroyed many lives (not an exaggeration) and has broken many dreams. Gossipers have two classifications for me. First, are those people who do not have much to do or they think they have not much to do in their lives that to pass time, they talk about others, asks opinion from other gossipers until the opinions turn and escalates into fiction. Second, there are those who are destroyers. they are those that starts a story that has no the tiniest of truth in them but diverts them to a fictional, untruth and maybe wicked side story. THese are the much more dangerous one. So be afraid......be very much afraid!!!! :)

Who are we to judge others. I always felt this. When i got married every one satrted saying that my wife is fat. I siad she is my wife and it was my decission to marry her bcos I loved her. I also said if tomorrow i meet with an accident and m on bed, she wouldnt leave me sating that my husband is handicapped. This is bocoz we love each other. It really does not make a difference to me what the world says. They have a lot of time to gossip. "The lesser you hear the people say about you, the more you succeed."

Herro annabel_nov I cannot answer why people gossip. If they knew the damage and hurt that gossip causes, maybe they might think twice. Second problem with gossip, the way the story starts is usually very different even 3-5 times being retold. I can honestly say, today, I am not that kind of person. If I hear a gossip story, I don't repeat it. I am a born-again Christian and do my best to live my life as Jesus would have me live. Am I always successful? No, I am not a perfect person, Just forgiven. Prosperous mylotting

I think some people starts gossiping and spreading false stories to other people just to degrade the other people's personality because maybe they are envious of the people's success. They don't care even if they hurt them as long as the people would think that they are far better than them
