Do you love hearing gossips or talking about it?

Hi dear, If we closely observe, gossiping is a kind of disease. It is a kind of epidemic and people enjoy the same by telling about others and hearing about others. Normally, I don’t like both. The net result is a kind of pleasure deriving just talking about others and making fun on it. Even if I happened to hear something about someone, I normally ignores, or won’t give that much interest on it. If we support it, the subject will go on and honestly I won’t support it. Just for a fun, upto a minimal length, without hurting anybody it is ok, but many gossips are not like that. They will virtually kill the others and I think it is a bad habit and we must stop it. As you said, everything is good upto a certain extent and beyond that gossiping is harmful and will hurt others. Regards, Thank-s

Yes I like to hear gossips or some updates about somebody I know especially if he has done something great or is surrounded by some controversy. Its natural instinct to get attracted to such things and try to get into the details as to what and how that thing happened. It depends on the person we are talking about, if he is a good person and a close friend we do get a shocking surprise or feel bad/good for him depending on the situation :). Even If I have to tell about somebody who has been surrounded by such controversies I do tell it to my close friends and avoid honking the horn to the world :D, Its always better to tell your trusted people or ask those who know the proof than telling blindly to everyone and indirectly defaming a person :). I do involve in gossips but only with people close to me and just to keep ourselves updated about our friends or people we knew, not about any one or everyone unless thats a public figure controversy :D.

I don't love to listen gossip or anything that is irrelevant to my life. If I heard something accidentally I don't want to pass it unto others....

Oh,that is what i am missing in my life now "gossiping" My time is so much occupied with many things that i can't even remember my neighbors name (too bad for me) Well,in my home place,people are working and busy with their own business and no time to chit chat with them. Each morning the usual greeting is there "hi" hello" or a simple then it's fine. Our place is very quiet that you can even hear the cockroach talking (have you ever heard one?...i just wonder because people says you talk like a cockroach when your voice is too low nyahaha). So,gossip has no place in our place. In my work place?...not possible either,becoz we are working with different shifting. You can not assure that you will be working with the same team the next week. But yes,some gossips is never out of the blue...it's everywhere. The problem is..i am missing it,so with the current news and i am not aware that Monday is a holiday due to barangay election (wahhh,i am out of this world ) Have a great weekend ...i just want you to smile

I never liked gossips. Whenever i hear something, i don't believe it entirely. Maybe there's a reason why they think that a certain person is like that. I don't like to judge people very quickly. I judge people when i've talked to them and hung out with them for a long time.

hi,we are both the same i dont like gossip at all.i am a very private but transparent person.what you see is what you get but i want privacy in my life that is why whenever im home i dont go out much and talk to neighbors cause i dont want gossips and im not the type gossip girl.i dont care with those people who doesnt concern me.so i stay away from them and just stay at home make my time productive and useful.

Gossips are informal communication channels. Of course, I love listening to gossips compared to gossiping it. It is good not to partake in any gossips. I have realised that even if one does not gossip, one tend to be the subject of gossip as well. The feeling is not good.

Gossip seems to be a stress relief. But it can be hurtful. I only gossip with people I trust.

Gossip can get you into a lot of unwanted trouble. i try not to participate in this. It is usually hurtful to someone and i would rather not be a part of that pain.

My character is inclined to listen to gossips, but I don't like to gossip too much about other people. Hearing others' gossip relaxes me and I enjoy about what some people can get out of their mind and mouth. I wish I were a bird to fly on windows to be able to hear gossips about me!

gossips ? yeah but i don't like gossips, because this news don't be true just like air, you can't take hand.

i also hate gossips. i dont like people focusing on people but i like to learn from the ideas or situations.

We are the same. I do the same thing too. For me gossip is like a trivial stuff, so I tend to keep it to myself. Sometimes when I am sensing some people gossiping, I automatically go near them (if I know them) and ask what are they talking about and they're going to share it to me ;D.

Yeah i always hear those things, specially when you see some by-standers at the corner of your street, they always talk and make some stories about their neighbors,the day never ended without any gossip,its like their daily serving in their life,but what the hell to care about,they are not the one who feeds us.such pathetic.

I am the same...I sometimes do listen to gossip but I pride myself in the fact that I don’t contribute to starting or spreading it. I am aware that gossiping is not a good past time and although it may seem like fun at the time, we have to be aware that if we stop and listen to someone telling tales about another person who is to say that the same individual won’t be talking about us behind our backs?

I am a nosy person. I'm the person that peeks out the blinds because the cops are across the street. I find it fun and harmless really. I also will listen in when I hear two people gossiping about another person. However, weirdly enough, if someone comes up to me with some juicy gossip I feel very uncomfortable with it. I don't mind dishing to my boyfriend what is going on in my friends lives, but he is sorta an extension of me so I don't really see it has gossiping to tell him why my best friend's husband is leaving her. It's just keeping him up to speed about me life and the folks around me.

I hate gossips in fact I hate people whose business is always minding people's lives. I don't like gossips because I don't gossip people. If it's the other way around,well it's sure kinda of bomb. My principle is don't mind my life because I don't mind your life either.

Hi there! I don't like gossips and gossiping but there are times when you can't help but hear stories about people you know. Personally I don't take them seriously because I still base my treatment and actions on my interaction with the person involved. Like you I also keep to myself whatever it is that I've heard though if what i heard is something I should be wary about I also took note of it. There are also funny and entertaining gossips but I don't make gossiping a habit especially when it starts to become malicious and destructive. :D

neither!

All human beings need social interaction to develop rapport with other people and to create a network of friends in which we can be a part of and an integral part of our social interactions is gossip. We can hear gossip everywhere, from our homes, in our school, and even at work and you have to wonder wheather these gossips and, as we like to call it in the Philippines "tsimis" are true or just blind, false rumours to destroy the credibility of a person or an organization. I, however don't like talking about gossip although I'd love to hear gossip for the reason that it keeps me preoccupied. It allows me to dicern and dissect whether or not these things hold any truth in them and if they did were they factual enough to be proven true. To me hearing gossip is like listening to music. I listen to music to feel good and calm my soul which is the same thing with gossip in that it trains your brain to discern and segregate the lies from the truths and it gives you something to think about during your spare time. Hearing gossip is good as long as you keep the gossip to yourself, not share it with your friends and you don't add fuel to the fire because too much gossip can destroy people even us.
