I have this friend who constantly talks about other people to me (he ugly, she ugly..) but hates when people talk about her (call her ugly)...what's up with that? I know a lot of people who are like that. I mean, nobody's perfect...

Scared people strike out in fear, and that's sad but true

I know... aint it the truth? LOL. Most people talk about everybody else like there's nothing wrong with it, but the minute someone talks about them, it's the end of the world. I think they do it because it makes them feel good for the time being. For a moment, they feel that they are the best looking person in the world and nobody can hold a candle to them cuz the FINE with a capital F!!! Either that or they think they have room to talk about others. It's sad, but true. I say, if you can't take it in, don't dish it out.

Exactly-- nobody's perfect.... the gossiping has to do with them feeling inadequate themselves and if they put someone else down, then they should start to be seen as better, right? Wrong. And the Law of Attractions states quite unequivocally: Like attracts like. Teach your friends this natural law. Watch things begin to change.
All the Best!

Exactly, nobody is perfect. Your friend is probably self-conscious about the way she looks and tries to find imperfections in others as a way to make her feel better about herself. It is a human thing to do. Animals don't do that. Society today tells people what they should look like, what to eat, and what to wear. It's almost as though people aren't comfortable in their own skin anymore and are just waiting for the media to lead them in the right direction. I, myself like to stay away from people like that, but if you can't, just ignore it and move along. Atleast you have the knowledge to know why some people may act so shallow and somewhat stupid.

People who love to talk about other people's lives specially on the negative or gossip talks are people who are lonely...they usually want some company with them.They like to make intrigues for they lack self love and respect and it is carried out thru their words and actions.

it's called gossip and EVERYONE is guilty of it at some point. gossip sucks and it's best to make a choice not to do it. it hurts people deeply.
i, usually, tell people that i don't care to hear it when they start talking that way and i simply walk away from them if they persist. they get the point and pretty soon you will find that they won't gossip when you are around. YOU have the power to create an environment where people won't gossip. how cool is that?

Well i rarely talk about people without bringing the topic of discussion directly to the individual in question. I guess others talk about people because they like to b**** and put others down, but it isn't so nice when it comes back on you.

this kind of people believes that he is perfect but no one knows that,and so anyone talks about him will be a lyier and only said that because he hates him, actually people like this kind feels deprivation deep in them selves and so they just keep looking for others bad things to feel better...

i just think that it gives some people a high and then some people need it to get some troubled feelings off their backs but it is, infact hurtfull indeed to talk about someone behind their back or to have it done to you but that is just the way of life and i don't think that will ever cease! (but i wish it woud though!!!!)
