Gossiping

Gossiping, a pleasurable pastime? Or simply a bad habit? We are all guilty of receiving some enjoyment when discussing another’s personal affairs. It comes at no surprise that those glossy tattletale magazines fly off the shelves weekly and the paparazzi earn big bucks for their (usually unflattering) snaps of A-list celebrities. Yet, I ask myself, why do we gossip? Is talking negatively about a friend, neighbour, or celebrity a way to boost our own self-esteem? If correct, could this imply we are all insecure individuals?

  1. Personally, I don’t think gossiping is a form of behaving bad. I am not saying gossiping is ok to do, because its not, but who doesn’t gossip??

    I think gossiping is a simply a bad habit, it shouldn’t be done, but it is. Gossiping is always going to be something which will always be there, wherever you go, or whatever age you are, like when family get together, you are always likely to hear or have a conversation about a family member that they will be gossiping about.

    I think the main reason why people gossip is because they cant say what they want to their faces, I don’t think its to boost our own self-esteem. If you are gossiping about someone and it is bad things that you are saying which is more likely to be, I think people think its better if you gossip behind their back rather then say it to them, because it might hurt their feelings even though if they found out that you were gossiping behind their backs it might make things worse.
