“One who easily gossips to you will easily gossip about you”
I really like this quote because I think that it is very truthful in so many different ways. If someone spends their time talking to you about others and worrying about what is going on in other peoples lives , do you really think they don’t talk about you and your life to others? Gossiping is “conversation about personal or intimate rumors or facts, especially when malicious” , gossiping can become a habit and you think that they only share their habit with you? If gossiping is a big part of their life they will share with almost anyone. So you should never share your problems with someone who is sharing others problems with you.

I would go even farther and say that gossiping with some people is more than a bad habit. It is an outright addiction, and people who listen to it without saying anything are enablers. Probably, the people who tell gossipers about their own lives are fully aware that that the information will be passed on to others as more gossip; they want to be gossiped about. This subtle kind of attention seeking, too, can be an addiction. None of this is too surprising, considering that a large portion of what passes for news and entertainment in the media is little more than gossip. I am not saying that I am above gossip, either, though it doesn't usually make me feel better about myself when I have lowered myself to participate in it. I'm sure I have even spread gossip, but I'm also sure that this is a weakness in myself. It makes you feel important to be in possession of information that others want to know and can get first from you. Gossip has a powerful allure and I'm sure that we could all be stronger people by reesisting it. I can't remember offhand if I have read any good fiction where a major character is a problem gossiper, but this seems like it would be good material for a story or novel.

I agree with Molly 100%. To me it all is just so confusing. When must people talk shit about other people? Does it make then look and feel cooler? Maybe they do it just because it takes all the rumors off of them. Everyone is guilty of talking behind someones back, but how frequently one does it determines who real friends are. I just found out that one of my good friends was saying shit about me behind my back. It honesty doesn't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is they don't have the balls to tell it to my face. If one is going to talk shit, you better be able to support your claim or at least have courage to talk to the person about it. I don't feel there is need to go tell people other peoples problems expecially when that person went out of their way to share something personal with you. It just causes distrust and fights. Also if you do share something and someone finds out... don't deney it. The person who it is about usually knows for a fact that it is true and you will just dig yourself even deeper. Just remember, if you want to avoid a whole bunch of drama, don't talk shit behind someones back.
