It's not good to gossip, but we all do it anyway. I wouldn't say I enjoy it, but it just slips into the conversation-
That's only human!
-
-
yes and i love it.-
Me too! Don't ever tell me a secret cause it won't stay a secret for long.
-
-
I don't like gossiping because I'm afraid that it will make a big trouble. I also hate it when someone talks about me. -
I don't like gossip. -
I think we all talk about others in a general way with no malice intended, but when it crosses into talking about their personal lives (or what we presume about their lives) and making judgments then no. I don't listen to it and I don't do it. -
No I do not enjoy gossiping. I prefer to spend my time writing songs, fighting injustice.... -
Sure, as long as it isn't about me.-
I'll take this!
-
-
Why? What have you heard? -
Everyone that says you don't like has still done it. Everyone gossips. Those who say they don't, i don't believe it. In this world it is almost impossible not to gossip unless your a hermit.
Personally i hate it but i can't avoid it, thats the problem. So if you want to gossip go for it, claim title to the starting of drama.-
"Personally i hate it but i can't avoid it, thats the problem. "
maybe you haven't tried enough.
We may not avoid hearing it, but that doesn't mean we have to encourage it, participate in it.
I never did get why the petty info or rumours about the lives of others at work, around us, are worthy of discussion or have any seeming validity.
I seem to have been on the receiving end of gossips and on a few occasions in neighbourhood get togethe's I have been quite astonished by some of the claims my neighbours have made to me regarding how I spend my time. It was quite laughable really to hear someone tell me how I spend my time. It made them look ignorant and stupid.

I can take it or leave it. People gossip about me all the time and I just laugh and go along with it. I never really worried what people think of me, my family and friends know me that's all that matters to me
-
I guess what would you consider gossip? Some people think just repeating something said in conversation with someone else is gossip but others think it's things said in confidence. I keep things said in confidence to myself but don't see anything wrong with bringing up a point made in a conversation.-
I totally agree with the keeping things in confidence. Too many people tell me things in confidence but that is where it stays.
-
good to hear, that is something of a rarity these days it seems
-
-
ughhhh
-
I don't want to like it but I do.-
That's very honest!
-
-
Everybody does rather they say they do it or not. -
It's not a good things to do-
Smoking is not good either!
-
-
Footiam gossip is condemned many religious scriptures I do not like it -
Why? What have you heard?
-
yes
-
Why not? And it's free!
-
-
I gossip, I admit it. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't.-
I don't know anyone who doesn't either.
-
-
Better to listen than to talk. -
yes sometimes. -
yes i think gossip is bad coz not really only lie and i don't like it-
gossip could be about things that have really happened!
-
-
No, I hate gossip. Gossip is only useful when someone is being stubbornly indirect, and even then, the gossip usually has the story wrong. -
Yes -
yes, but i only gossip To D. people tell me stuff and i don't repeat it except to D. and i tell everyone ahead of time: don't tell me anything you don't want me to tell him. but he hates gossip, so he usually listens then grunts
i can't keep secrets from him, except for the blog. -
I usually try to stay away from gossip, especially at the office, but somehow gossip has its way of finding me. I usually just listen and nod. -
Gossip is nasty and disgusting. Yes, it's sometimes hard to stop, but the best things in life are sometimes hard. Right? -
I became hung up on definitions, so I found one.
Gossip--Rumor or talk of a personal, sensational, or intimate nature.
Gossip needn't be malicious. I think it comes of a natural desire to know more about the people around you. Family gossip, for instance, can almost be a tradition, and that gossip arises out of concern for the people involved.
I wouldn't go so far as to say it is beneficial, but at least to claim it as morally neutral. Who isn't a little curious about their associates' personal lives? -
Not if the gossip is about me! -
No, I only like to talk about myself.-
You will have first hand news!
-
-
I enjoy gossiping about trivial stuff but I don't gossip about people's lives or their personal business.-
That's thoughtful.
-

No, I don't enjoy gossiping. But I know people who do. Like my friend Frank. He gossips constantly, particularly to the Sadie, the woman he's cheating on his wife with.... -
If it's juicy and factually correct I must admit I may be persuaded to lend an ear. I read on a T-shirt once. "I don't repeat gossip so listen closely" -
it depends on situation and its contents:) -
i rlly hate it...and also the people who are geek in it.. -
Guys always accuse women of being gossips, but we're pretty much ten times worse than they are, at times. -
If there's gossip to be had, i'm a happy woman! -
Of course I do. It's one of my favourite forms of relaxation, that and character assasination. :-)) -
once in a while it is cool to do so -
OMFG! I hate it with a passion. That is why I don't hang out with other military wives. They seem to have nothing better to do than biotch, complain and gossip about someone they "call" a friend..
IT's crazy stupid!
