Why do people like gossip so much?

[Anonymous]

And don't they realize social media adds to it majorly?

No lie and it sucks you right in. Case in point, there is a post on here entitled "why do I cheat so much or close. Check that out... live feed.

But gossip is unhealthy for both the person being gossiped about and the idiots who are gossipping.

[Guy13]

No doubt. It is better than some of those other things like porn etc...

It used to be a womanly trait when I was 10 years old. Now I see guys my age gossip like girls. It's pathetic.

Instead of avoiding gossip they have joined the club.

No wonder the testosterone levels are dropping

[Sour-rose]

Yes... they do. And usually, many can't help it. Because someone's gotta say something and bring in more people to it. Think of it like a snake trying to see what you say so it can bite you in the ass later

Because they know very well that if they start talking about themselves, no one will listen to them.

I asked the same question here once. Just a different way...

[CoolCatMar1]

I guess people who do that have no lives

[AsaKyo]

They have nothing better to do or talk about

For most people? Boredom. For a select few though it's because everybody's business is thier own. Gossiping is OK if you maintain a certain level of decorum.

People use gossip to bring other people down.

[Iron_Man]

They get bored and like drama

Gossip is Satan's workshop

[Jackblue]

It makes them feel superior.
