Why there are many people who loves to talk about other people's life?

I think that there are many reasons why people like to talk about the lives of other people. I do not think it is all gossip, either. Sometimes, we are just trying to stay informed and in touch with what is happening in the lives of our friends and family but our schedules might not allow us to talk with them as much as we would like, so we have to talk with people that see them on a more regular basis to stay informed on what is happening. Most of this is not gossip, in my opinion, as long as it is factual and not interpretation or just plain made-up nonsense. In your case, however, it sounds like perhaps people are jealous of your relationship, so they are looking for a negative aspect to it. Apparently they can't come up with anything too bad that is really happening, so they have to make up things. I would not worry about it, although that is much easier said than done, but it sounds like your relationship is good, so you really don't have anything to worry about.

Hi angelgie! There are really people who are like this. Our office is surrounded by gossips and I honestly admit that I, for one also listens to them. When there is a gossip going on around you (especially if you are in one small group where everybody knows everybody)it is really tempting to listen to what is being said. I have also experienced listening to a nonsense gossip just feel I am "in" on their crowd. I am aware that this is a bad habit and I know my limitations very well. I can listen to what is being said but I don't really have the courage to add something especially if I don't really know the person or just to simply contribute something. I also know that I am not swayed very easily by just a talk. When something bad is said about the person, I have the tendency to get near that person more because I want to find out if what is being said is true. It must be weird but when I am curious about something I tend to dig deeper. ^_^ I guess it weird but better than being judgmental all at once, right? Anyway, I have read before that people who loves to talk about other people are those who does not really have true friends. ^_^

If a person gossips are other people's lives his or her life is probably very boring. I think it is nasty for the person to say that your current relationship will not last. That person is or those people are wrong to criticize your boyfriend. It sounds like your boyfriend is trying to improve what he is like. It is lovely that your boyfriend gives you much love. Many people have bad things about themselves but they criticize them but another person that does not deserve that.

I'm really not sure why some people actually do this. It just makes no sense to me. I suppose that they gossip, because they may not have anything better to do. It's just a theory. It's difficult to say, as I have no idea why they may do this sort of thing.

Many people loves to talk about others life because they want to compare things with what they have and do not have. These kind of people are afraid to talk about themselves that is why they rather talk others life. While some really have this habit because they were already introduced to that kind of environment and attitude from their family and social environment, as well to criticize other people for what they think is right. They may be jealous, selfish and sensitive and for worst some uses this to find faults or blackmail other people. These people less see the totality of themselves because they cannot admit they also have greater insecurities than other people and uses them to compete or compare in different way. People like these have this things in mind:..IT is easy to see others mistake than admit your mistakes, IT is easy,to criticize and view others life than your life, It is easy to hurt other people than hurting yourself.. However, we cannot get away from that kind of environment, just do not mind and be affected.. Just ignore them until they got tired.. They will never look at themselves, because they do not want to see a monster in them .. ha ha ha

I really like this question..Some times I feel this..We are always surrounded from such people...We can't to shut up their mouth..Because there have a lot of people that encouraging this thing and enjoys by hearing others matters that's not good..There will have a lot of problems in their own family and they have no time to protect them...They always like to blame others and laugh at them...Some times, They will make some stories about others that they will not just think..I am getting very grief by hearing such bad gossips...I will not be moody to any one..So I will speak to every one that when I feel comfort..I will not see them in other manner...But this people says that I fallen in love with that guy...After 2 days, Then the person will change etc etc... My uncle is like this...He know that I will not do so..And He represented me as in a bad manner to his friends...That people were my neighbours..My mom cried by hearing this news...I solaced her..I knew him before this case...So I had no wonder...Some of my neighbours find time to make a talk with other people when their husbands went to office/work...I hate such people...First blaming others, We should very perfect in our life...And then they can talk..If they are really a good home maker, They will not have time to criticize others.... Don't worry....God will give them the result for their all... Don't look others...Try to avoid such people and lead a good life with your lover.. May god bless you.... :-) :-)

It's really sad that to this present day and age, gossip mongers still exist. I've been wondering about that myself. I mean, one of the reasons they gossip is that they don't have anything to do. I could understand that if we were in the olden days before the advent of radio, television and the internet, and life was slow then and people had a lot of time in their hands so one way to kill time was to gossip. But with our present technology, we can do a lot of things, but still people gossip. Maybe it's just human nature to us, hardwired in our brains ever since we evolved from a primate.

Best remedy for this is just ignore them then next time they dare to do.
