Do you ever find yourself gossiping? Chances are, yes! Most of us have done it before, and some of us even do it now. Gossiping can often feel like a harmless way to bond with friends or colleagues, but it can also be destructive.
Many individuals gossip not to purposefully damage someone, but to satisfy the person with whom they are conversing. Some argue that gossip brings people together. It creates a hidden alliance and makes gossipers feel like members of a group.
So, how do we determine what constitutes gossip? A decent rule of thumb is that if you wouldn’t say something to someone, don’t say it about them.
Words are like swords. They are capable of causing harm. Once the rumor spreads, it is very hard to undo the harm. This is why spreading rumors is dangerous; you never know what the people who start them are up to.
The funny thing is, no one dreads hearing the things others say about them behind their back more than the person themselves. So, you see!
