Gossiping - Women's greatest Stressbuster ! Do you agree?

Yes talking to people or with friends is a great stressbuster. Gossip is only part of that talk. Okay, MAJOR part of that talk! But no, men also gossip. Sometimes they are even more gross, more demeaning, degrading, and more disgusting! Sorry men, just telling the truth. I have guy friends who talk about a lot of things, us women find ourselves almost not contributing at all to the talk. They are also worst at kiss-and-tell. I tell you. They are.

Hi avani, Yes gossiping helps one in relieving stress. I agree women generally gets more involved in gossiping, but Males are also not far behind! :))

Women would definitley gossip more than men.THere is one important reason for this--woman has been wired in such a way that she has many more words at her disposal.COnsidering this fact, the words available with both sexes are totally incomparable.Naturally woman would tend to talk more nad if there is gossip it would be greater on the woman's part.Men may also gossip but it would be less. But I do not think it is a stressbuster avani.Gossip generally has a bit of negative connotation and i would not get relieved of my stress by gossiping.I may get relieved by talking about my problem to a confidante.

As far as I have observed men seems like to gossip more than women do. Men, unaware that they are being observed will talk nonchalantly about a certain eventualities or persons. But what I've observed is they are more eager to talk when with a woman rather than with men like them, unless they are gays. I can often hear my husband talking to a female officemate over a phone that their officemate is like this, like that, blah, blah, and more blahs.Ihave warned him and told them that he is already gossiping but would not accept it. For him, he was just telling her what he knew and observed.:-) Well, some men are not like this. Some would rather listen than join in the conversation.Butm hey, believe me they are also as curious as women do. :-)

I think that gossiping is a stressbuster for any gender. We are all guilty of it at one time or another whether we realize it or not. I think that women are just more social with each other than men are. Women take the heat for gossiping more, when men are just as guilty.

i dont think gossiping is nither stress buster nor time pass. Its just a way of wasting time. I have seen people gossiping to such an extent that they end up creating problems for people. They speak half truth and something that they dont know off. they just assume things ans speak. i hate gossiping and the people who gossip.

i totally would have to disagree with you. i dont gossip but what i find to be a good stressbuster is shopping!

Both parties are guilty. I had a PAstor once who was so into gossipping that one day his house got flooded and I wore a pair of pants to go and assist and I wa accused of being backsliden because he was told that I was seeking a man thats why I wore the pants. He told the person that he never knew I wore pants and that was one sign of being backlsideen. I never wnet back to his house to help out naymore. People indulge in this thing becuase either they hate the person who is beign attacked, has some form or envy or wishes that they were in the position that the person is in if the post is higer than theirs. I beleive that people indulge in this because there hearts are bitter at some point in time and because misery loves company they have to find an outlet for it. Gossipping is not a good habit too pick up because it damages the gossipper, those listening and partaking in it and the person being gossipped about. I thinnk we shuld all take a very good look at our hearts and lave this habit out int he cold. It is not good for us at any time

I think everybody gossips though some people do it more. When I gossip, it feels like I'm helping spread information and it gives me a sense of power and importance. There was a period of time when I was so into gossiping that I would actually feel uncomfortable when I don't know something that is going on with my friends. Now, I'm learning to be a little more relaxed about. If they want to tell me something, that's nice but if not, it wouldn't bother me. Not to mean gossiping isn't fun.

In my opinion,the greatest stress buster is listening to music,practicing breathing exercises or yoga or gossiping with friends or families. Yes!! Men gossips too.. I had encountered it many times in our workplace.. Gossiping is the most unusual hobby,I think.There are people who gossips about other person behind his or her back in a very funny or entertaining way.Even people imitates others in order to make things clearer.It is a great thing!

Yes, everyone says Gossip is bad, but all enjoy gossiping. Everyone wants to do but they wanna hide that they Gossip. Women are more involved in gossips as they can't keep any thing inside their heart. They always wanna speak out whatever is there in their heart. But i have found that some men also Gossip. Gossiping is considered bad and sin. It is wrong to speak about someone behind their back. Gossip does a lot of damage to relationships. Gossip can break friendships.

Yes this is very true . Today in morning I was little upset due to some reason I was not getting the way to overcome from that so I start talking to my parents and relatives on phone means at least 2 hours I spend on phone then I feel little better and then later on I went to park and did chat with my friends and I really feel refreshing from that.

This discussion is interesting.I think the gossip need both men and women though the truth is that men gossip more than women do.

I've never heard it that way, but I do agree and understand the reasoning behind it. When we gossip, but have things troubling us, I think we use gossip as a way to bring up what we REALLY want to talk about, our own issues. At least, that might be the way for some people. But I know when I gossip with friends, if someone brings someone up that is giving me troubles, I spill. And after talking about it, I do feel better. I think everyone feels better after talking about something/someone that is bothering us. And I think gossip can be a tool to lead us to talking about things in order to make ourselves feel better.

Hi avani26 - interesting topic. We call it gossiping or time pass it is nothing but the same. Yes,I feel this works as a stress buster when we do not have any important work. In my case I would say that men take the more advantage of this gossiping with ladies,with many created views in mind,which finally will be a futile or less success. Any how gone are those gossiping days, I feel at least a decade back - now a days every one is busy in his own activities,hope you agree for this.
