Eavesdrop - is it a good habit?

Yes, I do have a problem with that. I haven't had it happen that much in my life, but when it does, I don't talk to them anymore. It is not a trait I think is complimentary in friends. I don't need my friends talking about me behind my back like that, and if they do this they aren't really my friends and I am not losing anything. Eavesdropping is dangerous business!

It really would depend what i had been talking about. If i found out that someone had been listening when i was having a casual chat i wouldn't mind but if i was talking to someone about something serious it might bother me. I would certainly say something if i heard someone bad mouthing me, i would want to know what i had done to deserve it.

i hate it when ppl eavesdrop. i never do that and would not want others to do it with me. healthy gossip is okay but when it goes to the extent of demeaning someone i am far away from it. i cannot be judgemental, that would hurt me more than if i catch someone scanning me. perhaps, i would not confront them just to avoid the blatant bitterness. however, this would definitely made me wise and i would make sure to ensure my privacy in leting out things to my close ones. thanks.

Yeah, it bothers me a lot. Eavesdropping is a very bad thing to do actually, worst habit i must say. . It depends on the situation really, if i hear someone backstabbing me then i'll confront the person right there and then. . . I remember our housemaid, shes such like one and she was just kicked out of our house a week ago. Cant stand her being one and rumor-mongrer you know.

Hello,ellie,i do not like to eavesdrop the conversation of the other poeple,when someone is trying to talk softly,i will try to stay away to them so that I will not hear the secrets they are talking because I may not be supposed to know what they say. If i can hear something bad about me,i will just let it go, i will not confront them,i just do not like to do it because it will not help at all.

yes, it would really bother me if i found out that someone was eavesdropping on my conversation especially if it was an important conversation. i am a person who values privacy and i really dont want people trampling my provacy. if ever i knew that someone eavesdropped on me, i would certainly confront them, because it just isnt right.

it would really bother me if I knew one of my friends had been eavesdropping on my conversation. I would confront them and tell them I don't appreciate it or anything and remind them that true friends don't do things like that.

i hate gossips with an abiding passion. In my opinion, if i have something uncomplimentory to say about someone i want them to be in the same room as me when I say it and expect the same curtassy. When i have evesdropped someone i always feel bad, but i can never speak with that person again. I just think gossiping about someone else is cowardly and dangerous blessed be

I do not like eavesdroppers. And more than that I dont like it when someone uses information overheard to their advantage. I am not that type and even if I overhear something I would never confront anyone.

I will find it very disturbing. and will loose all confidence on the person evesdropped my conversation. I don't expect such cheeting from the part of a friend. Once such a thing happened then there will be no more friendship with that person. However I wont be confronting with the person, because it will not better the affairs. Thank you.

for me, it's not good to eavesdrop other people's conversation. it's like going to a party uninvited. but if you just heard it accidentally and without any intention to really listen, it's a different case. i hate people who eavesdrop and then relays what he/she heard to other people also. in short, i hate people who gossip because i just don't do that thing. but if ever i eavesdrop and heard something bad about me, i won't confront them. after all, i'm not supposed to hear their conversation and it's hard being accused of eavesdropping. as long as i know in myself that i did nothing wrong, i just let them think the way they want to think about me. it doesn't bother me. my conscience is clear. and they will have to discover it.
