even though it do not involve them or other people todo with them.Have you noticed that some people make it their buissness to tell certain people things where as they would not like it if the tables were turned.Other people tell people that they know about things aswell as people start to add things or their version of accounts.

That's gossip. I think its very normal for people to do that even though they know its not good to do it. As they what I learned from my father, he always said that if all things that's going to come out of your mouth is something not good, then better not talk anymore.

This happens all the time everywhere I go. I don't like gossip and my friends know this so they always feel free to confide in me. Repeating what is told to me is not part of my make up. Am really good at keeping secrets. I respect what others have to tell me.

I hate to see other people that thrive on other peoples misery,aswell as they are the people that would hate to have it done to them aswell if someone done the same to them.I do think that there are alot of people out there that do this all of the time and i do think that some people it maybe more like a hobby.

I live in a small town and we have our share of gossips who talk about anyone and everyone. Sometimes it gets to the person being talked about which is not good. I make it a point never to talk about other people, their problems or their personal business.

Gossip mongers - yep - I think that is like their career. They have no business tattle taling or spreading rumors . . . but it's like they can't help themselves. I hate big blabbermouths!

Hi, this is what you called backbiting; getting into other people's business. We're on the same boat. I'm a very busy person and for me every minute counts and so I don't have time to socialize the neighborhood and one more thing to gossip is not my kind of forte but still I really don't know this neighborhood of mine jeered at me as if I did the worst thing in their lives. One of my friends told me that it's envy. Quite right I guess. And shocks the leader of the group is the wife of husband's brother. Well the best thing we can do is not to mind these kind of people; the best reason that I always put in my head is they are not my level.

I don't really like those kind of people who gossips and talks about other people's business when in fact, there's no way involved at all. I just don't why some people are intrigued by other people's business instead of minding their own. If I know something about someone because some person told me about it, I'll just keep it to myself instead of telling it to another people.. I just wanna get in the middle. So I just keep my lips sealed and maybe even tell them not to bother.

It just angers me to think that there are alot of people out there that seem to make out as if they know everything about a person aswell as ensure that everyone else knows aswell.I think people like this seem to make a habit of sticking their nose in aswell as causing trouble for everyone else.

I hate gossip, it never takes a holiday. There are people that cannot be trusted with private information, these people should be avoided at all costs. I only tell trusted friends information, and only because I want them to help me make a decision or I just need to tell somebody. Its called sharing, not spreading. I'm always leery of people who tell me something about somebody else. I know not to tell them anything for fear it will be taken out of context or used against me.

I hate it when people do that and where I work there are a couple that are terrible about it. The stories always change just a little woth each person telling it so by the time everyone has heard..it is totally different than what it was to begin with. I usually try to nip that stuff in the bud by either excusing myself from the conversation or not repeating what has been said.

There are indeed a lot of people out there that make it their business to gossip about other people. It seems that it doesn't affect them at all that their actions sometimes hurt the people they talk about. I even see this behavior at the work place, and even at the highest levels of management. I guess some people just can't help themselves.

i'm not sure if you ever played the game called "pass the message" there are 2 groups or more, with 10 members each, all lined up and the leader of each group will pass a message (through whispering) till it get to the last individual and that last person will write the message on the board..the group who got the correct message wins the game..normally..nobody gets it "completely" correct..simply because we tend to add our own view or information to add more spice to any stories worth sharing..it's human nature..and as much as we don't want to do that..we can't help it..i'm not saying that all the people in the world are like that..but majority..and i myself sometimes tends to spice up a story too simply because i want the people to listen and enjoy my story..

I really don't catch up what you mean here, my friend. But I think you are referring for people that share things about online. Well those words or message is a kind of marketing system. It's a matter of small business related information that they want other may know about it. So, others may capable of doing it also to benefit from online things on the net. But there spam message that deliver strange thing that make us wonder. Because those message directly pointed on us that seems they knew but the fact is that they are scam message that if we didn't analyze the content of the message properly it will make us being a victims of scheming people Have a great day

I was very recently in a situation that is just like this. It made me so mad to know that I was not able to confide information in a friend. I think that when you are a friend and someone shares something with you, it shouldn't be up to you to decide to whom you should and should not divulge the information to. That is the reason that I know that I'll never have a deep relationship with the girl that was involved in the situation that I was involved in.

Ahhhh...the big mouths that don't have a life of their own and don't know how to make their own life interesting! I've known some and stay away from them as far as I can.:) I just don't understand why people have to be sooo jealous of others and want their lives so bad. It's as if their lives are that meaningless.

There are times when that's good and times when it's not good. If you're supposed to keep it secret, it's not. If it's about someone that you want to warn another person about, it's good.
