Iin, talking behind friends backs?

People do this everywhere.

Yes, it's normal, and no, it's usually not okay.
If you're really afraid of this "psycho" and your seeking help, it's of course a good idea to tell someone. But if you just talk shit about someone - that is really low. When somebody talks bad about a friend who isn't in the room I imediatly ask myself one thing: What is this guy saing about me when I'm not around?
People think when they put others down it lifts themselfs up. It doesen't.

Don't be surprised if your friends turn on you for your gossiping.

I talk about all my friends behind their backs if I have issues that I really do need a second opinion about. I never come with false accusations but rather presents facts and I mention the good things as well as the bad things.

To me this is essential since I know that I tend to overreact and over think - I just rather not create drama over nothing so to speak.

BUT I also know that this isn't proper nor kind behaviour and that you SHOULD talk to the person that you are annoyed at or feel betrayed by.

I guess that my other sorry excuse is that I truly HATE conflicts.

If you are considered about this fellow and his mental state, why then would talk negatively behind his back? It would have been wiser to voice your concerns to a person of authority like the school therapist or a teacher, etc.

Talking a little shit is human...I wouldn't say anything behind there back that I wouldn't A. be able to say to their face and B. Would be able to justify to their face.

That said...anytime I complain about one of my friends I usually but their balls first or very close to the time when I'm frustrated with them. It's just doing it in a coy manner. Ball busting lets your friends they are acting like an ass but also letting them know you still got love for them.

To be quite honest i don't mind if people talk behind my back at all because i know that everybody is guilty of it at one time or another!

It's human nature.

What Saint said above is very true! If people went around telling each other what they truly thought of each other every time they got annoyed there would be conflicts around every corner!
Its a way of avoiding conflicts, and that's what everyone wants... don't we?

How would you feel if you found your friends talking about you behind your back?

Those who talk about others to you when they're not around, talk about you to others when you're not around.

Believe it.

thanks for the reply's, its interesting to get some different points of view! I was discussing this issue with a wise friend of mine and he pointed something that was very relevant to this and anyone else who has experienced anything similar...
There is 2 kinds of slander, one is untrue slander which I agree is wrong and cruel, the other is liable slander which is speaking the truth, this is what i am guilty of! The truth in my opinion is ok to bring up either to their face or to whom ever asks!
