Bullshit, Shit Talk or Gossip...Big No No!

Some people call it gossip, bull shit, and some even call it shit talking....either way, and no matter how you slice it...it's all the same, and it 's a Big NO NO! This occurs when people have way too much free time on their hands and make up rumors or put down others, whether they are enemies, friends, or just random people. I was raised to respect others and that's how I raised my children. Why people think that it is OK to say hurtful things, untrue things or just down right mean things about someone else or a group of people is far beyond me. It's petty, childish and down right rude. It also causes much hurt to the person that you are doing this to. Shame on you! Did your mama raise you to act like this?

These terms suggest unconstrained and often derogatory conversation about other people, and can involve betraying a confidence and spreading sensitive information or hurtful judgments. Is that really necessary? This is wrong on so many levels yet some people (who are ruthless in my own personal opinion) continue to do it over and over again, not caring about the other persons or groups feelings. Research shows that people who gossip the most have very high levels of anxiety. They are generally not particularly popular because they cannot be trusted. Spreading private information or negative judgments is painful to others and reflects poorly on those speaking it. Might I suggest getting a life and leaving people alone!

 Now, if gossip is sure to end up hurting someone or several individuals, then, what motivates people to gossip? There are many reasons why people feel compelled to gossip, therefore, humiliating and putting others down. Sometimes people do it out of spite, just because they can. Doesn't that make them just like a 'bully?' Other times people gossip because they feel they will benefit from its end result, such as possibly looking better in front of the boss in a working situation. But the true, deep rooted reason, and psychological studies have proven it, is the feeling of superiority that results from such vicious spreading of information.

Why exactly do people gossip and talk bullshit about others? Boredom, out of envy,  to feel like part of a group or simply just to gain some attention? Among many reasons why others talk behind other people’s backs is filling in the void during conversations. When it gets silent in a group, it is as if everyone becomes scared of silence.Nothing drives me more crazy than hearing someone talk about someone else. My theory is that if you have to gossip or talk shit about someone else, you life must be pretty boring and pathetic. Really? Do you think that you are going to get ahead in the world by disrespecting people in such a manner? 

It only takes me hearing once from someone that another person has been gossiping or talking behind my back to be guarded. Hey, you can talk all you want about me if it really means that much to you, I could care less, and I will certainly think far less of you for doing so... but I put my foot down when you talk gossip, shit talk and bullshit about my friends and family. that is where I draw the line.

Gossiping shows others the gossiper’s insecurity and mean spiritedness. It also leaves everyone involved feeling as though they’ve just eaten a bad apple. Ultimately, insight into the intricacies of human relations and behavior is more interesting, uplifting, and enlightening than one-dimensional judgments and rumors. My thoughts? Grow up. Get a life, and stop making excuses for why you do this to people. If you are friends with someone like this it's time to start shopping around for a new friend, this person will only bring you down to their level. It's time to say NO NO to the bullshit.
