I get allot of people going up to me and telling me things I didn't need to know.
it happens all the time.
at church. (I know, shouldn't have to hear it)
at work(that I can understand)
and at camp(this is a christain camp I go to)
is it normal to not like gossip?
thanks god someone else feels like this. At times I feel like I have nothing to say, like I'm boring, but then when I see what kinds of things that chatterboxes say, Im glad I have nothing to say - its so hurtful thats not the way I want to live my life.
FWhat?!?!?!?! Someone else hates gossiping other than myself!?!?!? GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL! Man. I loathe gossiping its so regressive. And always full of negative skewed superficial comments.
I'm never one to initiate it, but I know it seems hard to avoid gossip sometimes. Generally, a good policy is never to say something behind someone's back that you wouldn't say to their face. That way nothing you say 'confidentially' will come back to haunt you.
Yeah, gossip's pretty horrible, immature, and can ruin someone's reputation in second. I hate it and wish everyone would just mind their own business. Even the Bible has scriptures saying how harmful gossip is.
theres more forms of gossip that get to me as well.
like when some one says something about some one and don't say a name. now thats annoying.
but at least their not putting the person they are talking about in a bad situation.
but its still not right
I've always hated it, and yet, I'm somehow dragged into it all the time. You're normal.
It's normal. Gossip does absolutely nothing to fix problems, but only perpetuates it like water in an acid burn. (Fight Club!)
My advice: Whenever you hear gossip, react harshly. Let them know that it's not welcome around you.
