Do you know someone who loves gossiping? I believe it is more probable that he or she also gossips of you to others if that person gossips of others to you. It is unavoidable to find people who gossips because there are people who instead spreads good things about others,they spread the bad thoughts whether true or not about others. I wonder why there are people who likes to break others reputation and their are people who loves to spread rumors. Any ideas?

Normally gossiping is good for mental health.But most gossip are started when a situation or conflict is handled improperly.Instead of going to that person and seeking a resoultion we complain about them.We are unable to get a resoultion for and get angry,frusturated and begin to hold a grudge.Eventually visualising to harm them in one way or the other. Gossip can destroy lives,relationship,carrier.Many of us must have experiences either gossiping or been victims of gossiping and the devastation that it causes. Some people cant live without gossiping,they enjoy themselves to the fullest. Steer clear of them.

I agree. Gossips may be from made up stories but they can be dangerous. There are lots of people doing it to hurt others that they think are in their way from what they want or those they think are far better than them. And sadly these situations are very hard to avoid in the workplace, class, and even in our daily lives.

Personally this is so True. I know someone I work with who I used to be really close friends with who is like this. I actually work with a couple of people who are like this actually. I am still friends with the one who is like this, but leary sometimes of all I tell her, or share with her as she will tell others. But it can be annoying knowing even when you are in the same room people are whispering and talking about you. Makes you wonder sometimes for sure.

I know, it feels very insecure when people seemed gossiping around you. There's always got to be people who're fairly smart so he/she would probably not believe false rumors and those people matters a lot.

Gossiping is not always bad.If someone(may be he or she) always spreads rumor about others then keep away from that type of person. but if someone tell you something about other then first try to judge whether his/her opinion is right or wrong. Some people have bad habits of telling you about others and of course they will spread something about you to other people. So be careful.

Well... it would be bad if the rumor is false or if it's true.. it is damaging the person's reputation. Anyway, I believe all gossips could lead to bad impressions because people usually does this to ruin somebody's spite. They probably does this because they are self-conscious and jealous of others.

people who don"t have any good thing or job to do they just want to pass time gossiping about other coz thats what they are good at ,rather making a life.They are anti-social who don't do good and won't let other to do too.They are burden to the family and the society as well.

I agree with you.. Gossipers are burdening others with what they find amusing. These people should get karma for all of the troubles they've caused people.
