A Gossip is an informal conversation, often about other people's private affairs.

Have you ever heard any gossips before?

Or are you a victim of a gossip?

I’m sure you have encountered gossip in your existence. This rude behavior is far too common. We are all humans after all.

But why do people gossip?

Jealousy, immaturity, insecurity are some reasons why people love gossiping about a certain person. Some people like to spread damaging information, false accusations or intimate details about others personal life, not knowing first if it's true or not in order to feel a sense of supremacy, or to be able to play the role of the victim.

Let's be real, gossipers are everywhere. You can even see them from the television or in magazines, some are just a mile near you and others may be someone you know, may it be a neighbor, a friend or even yourself. Sharing and spreading misleading informations of some celebrities or even their neighbors. or coworkers or other people is a gossip.

But do you know that there's danger in gossip?

Some people may look into gossip as a harmless thoughts and comments, but for the one who's subjected to a gossip, s/he can be affected deeply.

The most damaging and dangerous part of gossip is that it steals and breaks another person’s reputation.

Reputation is an overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general.

Reputation is fragile and when you decide to gossip, you're definitely helping in destroying someone else's reputation.

Gossip can ruin friendships, any kind of relationships, and marriages. It can create huge issues about trust between people and the people being involved.

It can ruin a person's self-confidenceand develop low self-esteem. Life of the victim can be miserable.

Gossiping is a harmful behavior that breeds distrust and bitterness so if you can, just avoid it. Before you share a hurtful story or condemning thoughts, ask yourself first, why you are sharing these things about someone else's life with a particular person.

Always keep in mind the Golden Rule:

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”

So, if you talk about others, they’ll talk about you. Choose your friends wisely and never judge a person based on a gossip you've heard. Do not link with people who find joy in belittling others.

Free yourself from gossip through ignoring them. Being gossiped about can be extremely hurtful. If you don’t want it done to you, don’t do it to others.
