Gossiping- casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

Try to not to engage in much gossiping. If you get around someone and all they want to do is gossip, you may want to distance yourself. They may be good for that, but the relationship will grow astray. One day you will grow out of that and you will have other things like your family and yourself to be concerned about. You should be doing that now, but hey, it takes time.

Don’t get caught up with talking about others that you forget to solve your own problems. That is a huge problem for many!

If that’s all you and your friends do is talk about others, find a hobby. Maybe if you’re older it can be acceptable, even then it’s still a no for me, but definitely while you’re young it’s too much. Talk about your goals, the future, and YOU. Half the time, the ones that are gossiping are spreading half-truths. They don’t even know the full story. While thinking about it, why talk about something or someone when you don’t have the full facts? Crazy.

Allow gossiping to be to a minimum. Don’t spend too much on others and stuff that is not true. It’s a waste and we don’t have that much time.
