[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading enough of these threads, I have gone to the conclusion that there are two types of women: those who think gossip is bad and those who think gossip is inevitable.

I’m in the “it’s bad” camp. I don’t find it hard not to gossip, and doing it generally makes me feel yucky so I just don’t. I also think gossip is generally a sign of other issues. People don’t tend to gossip about someone they really like and feel a lot if loyalty to. They gossip about people they already dislike or who they consider a bit of an outsider in some way. Gossip just brings out those dynamic. A gossipy friend group isn’t really a group of friends. There’s something else going on causing the schisms.[/quote]

+1 I used to think gossip was really fun but noticed I started to think about what people might be saying about me a LOT. Now that I have kids I really really try not to gossip about individuals - talking about institutions or schools or something is different [/quote]

I think gossip is both bad and inevitable. If the gossiper is constantly at it, I wouldn't want to hang out with them, but I'm not going to cut people off for one snide comment. [/quote]
