Is it normal i don't like gossiping?
My friends gossip a lot and talk about what's happening between their ither friends and acquaintances, for example: talking about who broke up, got drunk or high, ect. And I feel left out. They have close friendships and I feel like I'm just part of the backround. I try to talk, but I am not interested at all. So I pretend to be like my friends, and it's exhausting. Either I'm drained or ostracized. I feel that I should act like them, and talk the way they do so I can have a close friend or two. I feel like a weirdo if I don't take part of spreading rumours, or talk behind someone's back. Is this normal?
