Living near the people you work with can be stressful from too much contact. Perhaps you need to try to ignore them when they knock or put up a do not disturb sign.

Otherwise, you may have to start taking long walks or spending time in the library. At least at libraries, people are not supposed to talk.

A lot of people are into the business of talking about others but the problem is not to the concerned person but to others. I think that it's time for us to tell those people who come to us and slander someone to talk to the person involved. When a person comes and start talking about his or her co-worker's attitude, we should tell them that we are not too interested but to direct them to do what is right, which is to talk to the person. I consider it backstabbing when people talk about others with other people who doesn't know the exact situation and the circumstances. I hope all will be well with you.

i don't like to listen to gossips as well and i don't like to other people's business... what i will do is i will tell the person directly that i don't want to listen to gossips especially during the time that i am doing the stuffs that i love most like reading my books... take care and have a nice day...

I feel ya! Every time I walk into the breakroom at work, there is someone there talking bad about another coworker. Or they are gossiping about someone. I try not to say too much about my personal life at work cuz I don't want everyone to know my personal business! I am also tired of hearing about how much so and so hates so and so. It's not my problem and I don't wan to be a part of it! Work is not the place for gossip. It's unprofessional and upsetting.

I have no idea how you deal with that! I would get so stressed out about it. I can't stand when people come to me about people I know and tell me bad things. It really upsets me :(
The only thing I think I would do in this situation is advise them to talk to the other person in a constructive way about what's going on. I mean, we all need to vent, but if they're doing it as much as you make it seem they are, then there is totally something unhealthy about the situation.
