Let the gossip end in you

That's beautiful, like fire. I never thought about talking to the gossiper, I find them so envious and low that I don't think they listen, I think they can only see people's fault but you are right, if there's a chance maybe it's better to talk to them.

Yes,if there is a chance,better to talk to the gossiper,and give the right counsel so he/she will not do it again. And also avoid that gossiper because there is no good

That's nice of you to look for the truth. Indeed each person that likes to gossip add something, in the end at least half is not true I just learned here a new tip: I won't even listen to anymore, I hate gossip.

Oh yes, to take their mask down and in front of everybody, make them taste their own poison I find gossip spreaders a real poison of society, they are not good people, they like to see others fall and take pleasure in it.

Me too, I also hate gossip. But if I can find out the real story, I can shut the gossipers up. Lol. Then they won't gossip in front of me again. :D

"rumors stop at the wise" - That's beautiful. You are right, kind of boring! Lol. I don't like stories that are not real. I only believe if it's said in front of the subject, then we can confirm. If it's from behind I always think it's on purpose to destroy the subject's reputation.

Hi Alvaro! Just for the sake of "could be a lie" it's better to hold our tongue :D

Gossips are partly true and partly lie, depends on the distortion of the facts having passed from ear to ear. It is contagious since most people getting this kind of information always tend to create a tendency to know the facts of the events and the people involved, thereby kind of knowing the truth or the lie.

Well, I believe most of gossip are a lie but I've seen a small amount having truth in it :D Yes indeed. But never saw a person with morals, with a good carachter likeing gossip so I believe gossipers are envious people and these people like to watch others instead of improving their own lives, soon the tongue will spread stories, not facts.

You are intelligent, so you went through and many of us did but there are people who believe or maybe likes to see others fall and continue to spread. Don't they add to the story each passin person? Me too I was so surprised with few gossips it happened with me, that's when I learned. But I also investigated other people's gossip, wow, until now I didn't see one that it was true. At least not entirely and I actually became friends with girls at work that were victims of gossip. I actually end admiring them and I'm sure the girl that started envied them, because they were preatty admirable.

It's true that most gossips because someone is envious or jealous at others. They don't care that the person they spread gossip about struggles too and has to fight her or his own battles. When colleagues at work gossip it's hard not to listen because I hear it. And yes, it often turns out that the victims of the gossip are admirable. They can even start with a true story. That's why I don't spread any sensitive information that someone probably wouldn't want to hear again from others (of course unless it's something that can be harmful for them or for other people). When I found out others were passing gossips about me, I was seriously thinking about setting up a crazy story and let it spread, to see how it turns out - for fun

Yes! Exactly we all know a gossiper, we actually stumble upon several in our lives. It's so easy to judge others but when it's time to fix our own mistakes, watch our own flaws, pray and become a better person: NO! It's easier to run from it and go back judging others. Never I met a good person that likes gossip, inside they have that twisted pleasure of breaking someone's reputation, they act in the shadow, from behind and feeling powerful with the mess they create. But all comes back to the one who does something bad, I've seen it happening all the time.

Oh yes, always putting an end. I can feel the vibration of a gossip, it makes my stomach don't feel really well, I can't swallow it. It's bad when they just start talking when you are there, but as much as I can I love to avoid and don't hear it at all. In fact that's what I'll do. I knew about not spreading but never about not even listening and leaving, for now on i'll leave!

"Don't do anything to others that you wouldn't want them to do to you." - that's so true. In gossip I mean bad things people are saying about a person, and this person is not around, then it's just wrong. Why would someone not say in front of them right? So I know it's not good.

That's great. I usually don't even like to hear but sometimes they are just talking when you are sitting there, you are right, the only thing we can do then is to not spread. I mean why would I make a single mother's life more miserable for example, just an example, like people are judging her for not having a man in her life, how about she thought they were together or he lied to her and then he left? I don't know the whole picture and even if she was vain why would I keep spreading right? Poor woman! We never know. There are tons of men that abandon their children and women, so if a woman is a single parent we can't judge. Or any kind of gossip. Sometimes people judge what it might look like and it is not, that's why I'm afraid of spreading gossip, I'm sure life will show me something to regret like see? You spread the gossip and now you learn it wasn't the whole truth. I've been missjudged as I saw many people going through it, it happened to all friends, people I know, family...so I know those who spread don't get all the information, specially because gossipers never ask the person :D They talk from behind.

Wow, that must had been quite a show. Gossipers are always coward, I was chased by three girls a long time ago that love to talk about me, dress like me. When I called them (I was a teenager :D) they backed down. I think it's fine to talk about me but they have to say in front of me, I can take criticism. Now from behind the person is not good, they try to break reputation, do it on purpose.

I've been victim of gossip when was a teenager for like 5 to 6 times, what it was said was an elaborate story far away from the truth and I actually cared and dig in to find who did that. So I learned that people like that don't have morals, those girls didn't and they were preatty jealous of other girls. Then I tried to forgive in my heart but I was very hurted. Six months later I learned that they said things about me that they actually DO. I was so surprised, so when we see something bad in others, I learned, it's because we have that in us. Now that a gossip may start because people want to feel better than others it's news for me. Indeed psychologically speaking it could also be that as there are people that feel small.

I agree, above a friend talked about how she doesn't listen, that's I'll do. But really I never spread. I think it's a coward thing to do, altho I say things when the person is present that could be harsh if needed but I'm working on that too. But if we have to say, we got say on their faces, it's just fair.

Yes, people love it, that's why the magazines sell so well ! Paparazzis is like a bussiness as celebrities have their lives open, that's where the fascination comes from, people buy because love gossip lol. It's amazing. But it could also come from the need to learn about other human beings, in that case it's actually good to study people, not to spread about them, but to watch them it's preatty nice.

That's beautiful! You are a good person. You don't even get near it, I must admit I listen to it but never thought about even staying away, I'll try just that! Nice tip. We can't break someone's reputation like that right? For example, if gossip were important for examplo it would be if people were talking about a serial killer, a pedophilie but that people don't know yet cause they hide so well. That would be a public service, it would be nice to know their names so we could stop them before something bad, but no, gossips are about a mother, a daughter, a guy that maybe the person who started is just jealous and not speaking the truth. Most of the times the gossip is a lie.
