Will People Ever Be Too Busy for Gossip?
Have you ever wondered or thought to yourself if there would ever be a period in time where people would be too busy for gossip?
Have you ever wondered about the number of people who talks about you in a day but have never spoken with you once?
What is Gossip? Why do people gossip?
Gossip is most times, a derogatory conversation about someone/some people which can lead to spreading uncensored sensitive information or hurtful judgements.
WHY DO PEOPLE GOSSIP?
- Some live on gossip. That is, certain people thrive and get their daily bread from gossip. It's a career for them and the media world has made that quite easy. You'd want to ask, how would someone make a living from publishing people's dirts, secrets and information? I would say, how much do you enjoy reading them? 4.5 rating? Definitely not less than.
- Some people derive their self-confidence in discussing another. People who don't feel good about themselves have a temporary satisfaction about who they are when they gossip another. Do you feel that way?
- Some gossip to lampoon and have fun. Yes, people derive joy in satirizing and dissecting another's struggle, past or challenge. Not a good way to be joyful.
- Some people gossip by mistake! Lol! I have witnessed and heard it a lot. It simply means that someone's discussion came up in the middle of another. It was never planned to discuss A but her/his name got mentioned while discussing B or an issue.
- People also gossip out of boredom, envy, to gain attention or out anger for someone who has hurt them!
Is there anything as gossiping for the right reasons or 'healthy gossip'?
No, there isn't I would say. Do you feel great listening to people's derogatory comments on other people's lifestyle or for any of the above listed reasons? Shift the focus from 'them' to YOU! It worked for me and it would work for you too!
Then you'd know how to never feed the gossiper with curiosity, possible questions and how to change the subject. That's how to respond to gossip!
It's not always wrong to talk about someone but it's always right to check the motivation/intent.
Have a fabulous day!
EGO!
