😉 Greetings to everyone who came to the site! Friends, “There are people who tell you about me. But remember that the same people are telling me about you. ” This is gossip. Let’s not get involved in gossip. How to respond to gossip?
What is gossip
How sometimes it is pleasant to just chat or “wash the bones” of mutual acquaintances in a circle of girlfriends. In a team, talk about colleagues. But in the same way, others gossip about us, and this is already unpleasant. Therefore, you need to put yourself in the place of what is being discussed.
I confess that I am also a sinner, not being an exception. But I am growing up, becoming wiser, relying on life experience, making fewer mistakes. Together with you, I am engaged in self-development. Today we’ll talk about what gossip is and how to react to it.
Gossip is bad, even if it’s PR for a famous person. Gossip is always negative, no matter who the victim is. “Gossip” comes from the word “weave,” but the truth cannot be weaved.
Gossip is a rumor about someone, something, usually based on inaccurate or knowingly incorrect, deliberately fabricated information. Synonyms: gossip, rumor, speculation.
Very often, you yourself, unwittingly, become a spread of rumors about yourself. And then these rumors go further, acquiring new “details”.
Why gossip? How can this be explained? People are used to being interested in each other, sharing their joys and sorrows. Then spiritual revelations begin to be called the latest news from the lives of friends and acquaintances.
When people gossip, they don’t think that by telling a lie or revealing someone’s secret, they can lose confidence in themselves forever. A person who spends a lot of time talking about others – lives someone else’s life, not having his own.
