Some people's life dwell about gossiping whole day and they don't even get tired or bored of it. I see my mother in law, she is always telling me about other people and what's happening in others life, the things that I am least bothered about. I can't gossip, I have no time. I better be here writing than to talk rubbish. I get very irritated. People gossip because they don't have anything better to do and hate people who gossip about others.
Do you take part in gossip? Do you like gossips? What type of gossipers have you seen?

I sometimes sit with the people who are gossiping about others. I believe it is not just about Do's that we should learn in life, but also about Don'ts. I sit in the group and listen to how people gossip about others, and then the talks are spread from here to there with spicy manipulations and how relations get worse. In these many years I have learnt never to gossip about others and not to believe other people's gossips.

yeah i love gossip it can't harm people, we always have gossip with my friends,relatives,parents and many more we can talk a lots of topic. but if my friends are with me its a different gossip because we usually back fight other people so we can have gossip and have fun ;). sometimes i told them it's bad to back fight other poeple but my friend told me that we should do back fight because we don't know they do the same.

Here in our communiity there are so many people whos hobby is to gossip and because I have a store here in our house I cannot avoid hearing such things, and sometimes they talk about other people and I pity them because all they do everyday is to gossip. Some of it were not true or they only made it up just be famous.
I don't admire people like that, I always believe that instead of doing that, they should be more productive with their lives. No good will do if you always gossip.

People from my hometown love gossiping. It's already one of their daily activities. Their day is incomplete without gossiping. I just ignore them because like you I don't have time for gossips. I better sleep, watch a movie and spend time with my husband and son. Gossiping will not make us any good.

Hi riyauro!
I have seen a lot of gossipers around ever since I am young. Our neighbors in my hometown are queen of gossipers! haha it seems like she knows everything about the people in our village and because of that, she also found a lot of enemies!
I don't like to gossip as well because I know that it will burn some fire between people who are involved, but sometimes its also interesting to listen to some gossips! haha but those true stories only. Although I listen, I don't participate by talking or telling gossips too...actually I don't even give a comment. Its so difficult to get involved in such gossips coz just like my neighbors...we will just find enemies on that!

Yeah I have met people who act to know everything about others in the society, and these things that they claim to know is mostly false stories. I don't like it at all. i am like you, don't want to take part in any gossip. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

I believ your mother in law can make good friendship with my neighbor if she lives here :D My neighbor next door always know what happen around the block 1st. Sometimes I talk with her and have short conversation, she will start tell me what happened around because I spend most of my time in house in my room not socialize much with other neighbor. She just like walking newspaper for us.

A lot of my social anxiety fears stems from the fact that I know a lot of people gossip and it bother me ( even though it shouldn't) that people are probably talking behind my back at some point in time. I would say atleast 8 out of 10 people that I meet are like this and it's irritating. For this reason alone, I think this is why I keep to myself just for the sake of staying out of drama as much as I can! Sometimes people who are the topic of the gossip bring it on themselves, as they air all their dirty laundry to other people, I don't feel sorry for those people in the least.

I think that one of the main things that human beings like to do is find things out about each other than other people don't already know. One of the problems with them knowing this is that they're desperate to tell other people what they've found out, and this is why they start to gossip. They might not think that it is a great problem, but gossiping can hurt a lot of people. I have had friends who have talked about me behind my back, and a lot of the things that they say isn't even true, so I just wish that they had come to talk to me about it before thinking that they were the ones who knew everything about me.

hi riyauro,
I am a gossiper and I am earning from it
As a mylotter we talk other's life right? or we talk what others share here but I think we benefit from it.
But I don't want to go to the neighboorhood or be a bystander with others then gossip other's life it's a waste of time.
Besides as long as they don't mess up with me I don't give a care for them
happy mylotting

yeah you are right we are earning here and I don't think we are gossiping here most of the time but doing some constructive discussion. And she will tell me about the people whom I don't even know. I am knew to this place and I do not mix with everyone here though I say hi hello if the face is familiar. Otherwise no, since I am at home at the moment I don't go out much and be here inside and do some constructive work. I don't care about others whom I don't know. thanks for sharing, have a wonderful day.

As a boy,I definitely do not like to take part in gossip,and actually I hate gossip very much because sometimes it will hurt somebody who do not do any thing wrong.
But I can understand the guys who really do not have nothing to do but just gossiping the whole day,may be we should care more about those people and introduce other good thing for them to learn or to play,no one can deal with lonely and stop talking with other people,and we have the responsible to turn them to the normal life.

true, most of the time the innocent people become the victim of gossip. It is sad and they get hurt also. Gossipers have lot of fun seeing others misery. I don't like it. And even churches also they will gossip. anyway thanks for sharing. have a wonderful day.

I have to admit that I love to hear about "gossips", but not to the expense of harming the person. Like, me and my sis would just like to talk about the office mean girls and instead of getting pissed we just make fun of them. Do we spread malicious talks about them? No, it's just between me and my sis. Do we hurt other people? No, because as I said we do not spread gossips for our own benefit or just to get even. Do we just gossip our day away? No, we just "gossip" during dinner or before bed time.
But if the gossip is something that is donet o maliciously attack a person, well no, sorry but I do not participate in that kind of thing.
Some people actually do this as past time because there's nothing else for them to do, I guess. And instead of doing something productive, they just prefer doing this. So not good.

The gossip you do is between you and your sister but this gossip which I am talking about is like talking to everyone about certain people and put them down. This is wrong, she shares this gossip with everyone she meets. If she can do this than I guess she must be spreading rumors about me as well. I am suspicious, I told her many times I don't hear about anyone.lol. have a wonderful day
