Talking bad about someone is a habit or a characteristic of someone???

I think it is a bad habit and some people it is a characteristic of them. Some people can not fine anything good to say about anyone. They think it makes themselves look better but in reality I think it makes them look worse.

Well, I think it's characteristic rather than habit. Because she does that every single time, doesn't she? Or maybe she is obsessed to be a counselor so she does just it. =) Talking bad about someone in some occasions is not a nice thing. Because everyone of us has our own bad side. What's the reason for me to say something about it ? No, I prefer respecting them whoever they are. =)

Maybe your friend is just vocal about her observations. But that is really a bad habit especially judging other people's appearance. We all know that if we judge someone then we too are judged. It seems that your friend has no self-control to do that and it's better not to participate.

I have come across people who talks bad about others. If somebody has done something bad and you felt hurt or surprised about the incident and then you may share it to some of your close friends. I can understand doing that once in a while. But, I have seen people who complain and say bad about other often. I think it is a bad habit and it has to be treated with the help of pschycatrist.

I think, at first, it is her character but the time she do it over and over again, it can be considered a habit. That's really a bad habit. No one should judge a person because he doesn't have the right to do it. Only God has the right to judge us because He is the one who created us. The best thing you could do is pray for your friend and talk to him about the results oh her character or habit. I know she can change that habit. But it will take time of course. Change will not be instant, so expect that it will happen gradually or little by little. But at least, you've done something and I think small simple changes could could be big things too.

I guess it's a habit. But I guess it comes from deeper than it appears. In my opinion we talk bad about others so we can feel better about ourselves. It's very selfish and very mean and stupid, but that's how humans act.

Usually when someone constantly puts someone down, it is because they are insecure about themselves. I don't think that she realizes what she is doing. It is almost like a natural reflex. A defense mechanism. She unconsciously says things because it makes her feel better about herself.

That is terrible. Talking bad about someone can actually both be a habit or really an attitude problem. It your friend has that, i would take caution because one of these days, i might be the next she'd backstab. You tell her my point of view and hopefully, she would be able to control herself. Tell her, "you are saying something against him, could it be possible that you would say something else about me if we have a misunderstanding?"
