Dose it make me bad person telling some people what people say about them .?

Question

I told these people not to tell no one that I told them that they were talking about them.

Answer 1

It takes more than gossip to make you a bad person. However, you have to examine your motives for telling people what other people have said about them, especially if it's negative. Are you telling that person because you don't like the people who spoke against him or her? Are you just excited about the drama? Or do you think that the person you told would benefit from knowing what other people have said?

It also depends on how close you are to the person you're telling. If you're a good friend of theirs, they'd probably appreciate knowing if someone thought ill of them. However, sometimes people shoot off at the mouth and don't really think about what they're saying, and it's not always necessary to repeat that to your friend especially if it's just a petty mean comment.

Answer 2

No cause gossip is just a thing almost every teenage or even young girls go through!If you were a bad person you would have killed someone then i would of told you you were a bad person!Just mind your own buisness sometimes because sometimes you can get stuff started like that!Cause that peson might not listen to you when you say dont tell anyone!They can go and possibly tell tell that person why you are not around then something will be on a poppin next time that person see you!So next time just keep your mouth closed!A fight could possibly happen and you be the cause of it!

Answer 3

It depends what you told them and why you did it. If the information helps the person deal with a problem that could have caused them more upset later on (eg like telling him or her that people are getting angry about their behaviour) then that has been helpful. Just spreading gossip, on the othrhand is not good as it will likely just hurt and do no good to anyone. What were your motives in doing it? To help the person or to show you knew something about them/had more friends/to hurt them? If you honnestly think letting the person know has been positive and you did it to help then its OK. Otherwise you have done wrong.

Answer 4

People love to gossip, its just human nature. We want something to talk about, and it is easier to pass along gossip than talk about something that could cause your friends to laugh at you. It’s so much easier to talk about others that I bet the friend you are passing the gossip to (only trying to help them) is saying “Do you know what they are saying about me!”

If Johnny is picking his nose in public and people are gossiping about it then it might be a good idea to tell him to stop picking his nose in public. If you told him that Rob, Burt, and Bob were talking about this then he might end up picking a fight with them.

If it is real important, and something that they really need to know about, then go ahead and tell them what other people are saying about them. However, if it isn’t REALLY important then the best thing is to not say anything at all. You also could try to stop the gossip going around that you want to report to your friend.

Answer 5

Not necessarily, some of those people would be grateful that you told them, some wouldn't- It depends on your intention (if you were warning them from bad people they trust or you just like to spoil other people's lives).

But If I were in their shoes, I think I would have been a little bit upset with you, just because you made me feel embarrassed, but after a while I would be grateful to you for drawing my attention to whom I should trust.

No it doesn't at all! Being truthful can hurt people's feelings at times, but in the long run it helps them to be stronger.

Answer 9

hey the absolute truth is......just ask yourself......what are your intentions when telling a person what gossip you heard...is it to hurt them...hurt the tellyee....or simply to make your conversation more juicy at someone Else's expense. Be kind

Answer 10

when you are in doubt about this.. don't say anything.. keep it yourself. try passing a sentence to a group.. when it comes to the last person who will hear, what you really wants to tell is not really what they heard...
