Gossiping. Do you control yourself when it comes to Gossip?

I don't like gossips. Whenever someone tells me something, I always take the other side into consideration. When you hear gossips, you're always hearing only one side of the story and it's never great to read a book only half written. Besides, most of the time I just let it slip by my other ear. I pretend that I listen but I don't. It's a waste of time for me. I'd rather participate here on myLot than gossip. Another thing is, I think gossip starters and spreaders have nothing better to do in life because it just makes sense. Gossips are boring if you think about it. What do you do now that you know something about a person? Do you gain personal growth knowing it? Do you learn new useful skills when you knew about it? No.

When people comes to me, and I try to be cautious about this. Or I won't join this conversation at all.

Gossip is something that I can really get highly amused how. However, it is really not something that I take all too seriously. All it takes is one person to make one offhand comment about someone, just a thought about someone, before it really can get out of hand a lot of the time. Something that is just a stray thought for whatever reason, can turn into something that someone believes to the truth. All it takes is one little side comment to cause everything spiral out of control and everything can just be one muddled mess. However, that is really just something that I would really want to avoid at all costs a lot of the time. There is just nothing good that comes out of constant gossip for me. Besides, there is just far more important things to worry about, other than gossiping about the lives of other people. In many ways, gossip tends to be a train wreck that you cannot really look away from. In other ways, its just something that I have to really force myself to look away from it. So yeah, I try to avoid gossip.

I'm learning! I have to say, I've learned from the best, my mother is a huge gossiper. I can always tell when she's talking to grandma about me in Spanish, too, nothing I say or do is private! If it's negative, but true, I think it's fair game, and you have to work with what you have and be confident in what you say or do, so it doesn't matter what people think. People will talk, and I think it's going against natural instinct to try to stop!

When i start gossiping i really don't realize what am i speaking but i and you share a similar thought and i don't like talking bad about someone so whenever this is the case evei i try to change the topic because it is none of our business.

I am all weather person and let me say I do some time Gossip but this generally happens when one talks ill of me

It is said that even the kinds gossiped. What we see in films is nothing but gossip. What we read in novels is nothing but gossip. News channels are the biggest gossipers so what's the big deal in gossiping as long as it does no harm to anyone!

I admit that there are times when we cannot control our mouth but we should try to stop it because it is not good to gossip other people.So we should try to shut our mouth and keep it to ourselves.

I have to admit that I have very little control over what I share. Unless someone specifically tells me not to share something with anyone else, it might leak out. I know that I should be a better person than this, but it just happens sometimes. What do you do to control yourself in this area?
