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?

  • You are a better person than them. Get rid of them and find a higher class of people to associate with.

    I loved to gossip when I was younger but now I find it childish and tiring to listen to. It sounds like you could use more intelligent conversations to be a part of so maybe try talking to other people.
    Being a gossip is never a good quality so you're better off not participating.

    Dump them, and find a better class of people. They sound like losers.
