Gossip is harmful and hateful. I think people who engage in this behavior do it because they are miserable and want to make others just as miserable as they are. They think by gossiping they are better than those they gossip about. But really they aren't. They are selfish and insecure. If you catch someone doing this just say well I'm glad to see your so interested in my life you need to spread rumors and lies, guess that means there isn't anything going on in yours.

Insecurity, hatefulness and jealousy. I don't like it at all--I think it is lame to do such hurtful things to others. Most of the time the other person being hurt is of poor or less than the person doing the damage and they already feel inferior to society enough as it is.
For me to handle this situation--I would have to step up and tell them that enough is enough and to stop.

It is very easy to feel good about yourself when someone else close by is miserable. For some this is good enough, for others they have to be more 'proactive' about it. They make the other person feel miserable in order to feel better about themselves.


I'm fine with it, when I find out I simply confront them on what they said. Often times I find a way to make everyone else see what that person has done. In the end, they don't mess with me afterwards.... they just end up feeling more miserable for having been 'spotlighted' for doing this to others.

well i always wonder what people are saying about me of course! But realy I could care less. Your always going to find things about people a little anoying from time to time. And generaly when I gosip about people with friends, I try to check what i am saying. I am not out to try to hurt anyone. I think it is good to talk about relationships with friends, be it sexual or friendship based relationships!

because they lack empathy, if they could put themselves in the other persons shoes for just a second they wouldn't do it, if they have any compassion at all.
