stop gossiping

Wowww…
I never noticed untill I consciously made the decision to stop all gossiping just how much people around me do it!
Today I was with my 2 best friends & although neither of them are really bitchy or gossipy I almost got dragged into gossiping like 10 times!
But I didnt :D

No gossip :D
being a good good girl :)

I’m by no means a serial gossiper, far from. But sometimes I do get involved in my friend’s gossip and sometimes gossip back, i would really really like to stop this completely. It’s not nice and it’s a very unattractive quality in a person.

Honestly, if theres one thing in this world, it’s gossip. It’s the most demeaning and bitter thing that has ever happened to this world. Who thought it was a good idea to come up with shows like ‘Gossipgirl’ I don’t know. Gossip is the root of every thing evil! It makes your best friend hate you and turns you against them. Just because you hear somthing about someone else and then tell everyone else. I hate doing that to people because I know if that was me being gossiped about I would feel pretty bad about myself. I don’t like gossip at all and I want to stop doing it for GOOD.

I’m going to leave this goal here just a little bit longer. I am improving but still need more work. I read somewhere and I’ve been trying to do this…if the person you want to talk about is not in the room then don’t talk about them.

i need to stop gossiping as it have ruined my life.. am still 19 years old and I’ve already gained quite a reputation of being a big mouth.. i started noticing ppl avoiding talking in front of me n it made me feel alienated n left out.. i feel like ppl have like an agreement wiz each other behind my back not to talk in front of me SO GOTTA GIVE IT UP ASAP

I had people I trusted at work and I learned I can’t trust them. Now I feel like I have to be a hermit and stay away from everyone for fear that someone will just “think” I might be talking. The worst thing is the last person was so hurt and I was one of the people standing up for them.

This was a hard thing to because it seemed like that is how me and my girlfriends boneded. But after we stopped it was like we bonded on a different level. So worth it!

I have not really been socializing with a lot of people so there isn’t really anyone to gossip about and very few people to gossip to. However, the real test comes when I visit my family next month and I get immersed in that gossip-y atmosphere.

OMG I knew this would be a hard one but … over the last few days ive being trying and i seem to be able to pass a snippet of gossip into every damn conversation. I need help bad! I guess being more aware of doing it is a baby step at least. Part it of it is habit i know but where is it motivated from and what do i need to change at a deeper level to really achieve this goal?
