?Eavesdropping?

[i]Hi dolce, I haven't tried this but when it happens to me and it was all negative, I will maybe let them know that I am there but will not say anything but I will be avoiding them! But, in reality, I do know if this is what I will do! LOL![/i]

I am going to confess...I do easedrop on converstaions all the time. If someone was talking about me, you bet I would listen. If they said something bad about me and it were not true, I would probably step in and correct them.

If I accidently heard someone talking about me I don't know what I'd do, no matter if it were good or bad. I'm such an honest person. I'd probably pop myself in beside them and say something. lol

I really don't have the habit of eavesdropping, makes me think how the word became as such but anyway, and I haven't done that for as long as I could remember but, in case that I got to and it was about me, I'd probably just listen, be it good or bad.. its nice to know how someone else would see me in an objective point of view compared to hearing them in front of me while they have inhibitions as they choose their words carefully in order to avoid offending me in some way. Hearing such comments would encourage change or improvement some how..

Hi dolce_vita78, Good thing they talking nice things about you, I don't know what I will do if they qere nasty about me. I have never come across it. Tamara

Hey dolce, I have eavesdroped and I did hear people talking about me and it wasn't good! And it wasn't just once! It was co-workers and it was bosses and I listened and got very upset. It was about firing me! I confronted them. I can't remember what happened because it was a long time ago and like I said it happened more than once. It wasn't pleasant and I blocked it out of my mind so I really can't remember exactly what happened, just that it was really unpleasant. The moral of the story is don't eavesdrop because you might hear just what you thought you would!

I have to admit I am a nosey person so yes I do eavesdrop. I have never heard someone saying anything negative about me and don't really know what I would do if I had. I feel if people are speaking in public they do need to realize though that anyone can be listening. That is why I often speak very low when I am in a public place.

I would try not to listen to others people's talk, if they are talking about me........if they are appreciating me........then it is OK, however, if they are saying something bad about me........I may feel disappointed, so it would be better not to listen to them. I know what I am and I do not care what others normally talk about me.

I still have not encountered one too saying negative things about me. I can't tell for now of what possible actions I might do...grrr...LOL I don't mind people saying positive things about me..hihihihiihi

If its avout me and its negative Ill just bear it in mind and analyze if it is right. But I will remember those talking about me and without them knowing it, ill try to correct their negative talks about me. If it is positive I wont let them know I heard what they are saying but it will be a good boast for me.

Hi dolce! Eavesdropping is a behavior and though its unacceptable I think its normal. And I think its the result of gossiping. Usually if done intentionally the person who eavesdrop always becomes a gossiper in the end. If I would hear someone talking about me, like you, I would listen too. If its positive its ok and I will keep on listening. But if its negative and I know that it's not true I will not react or intrude but I would let them see me listening and not hear anything from me. I'd just like them to know that I know they gossip about me. I like them to feel the guilt hehe Ciao!

Im a major eavesdropper,and as a result I am so careful about what I say and where I say it because anyone could be listening! I think if you dont want anyone to hear it then dont say it!
