Why does my best friend talk behind my back?
People Who Talk Behind Your Back They’re angry with you about something but don’t want to tell you to your face. They’re jealous and want to take you down a peg but in a passive-aggressive way. They’re insecure and feel the need to punish you for making them feel inferior.
Why do people always gossip about other people?
People gossip and they always will because dealing with other people’s issues (even if it’s a close friend/ best friend) is much easier than facing your own demons. The truth is that gossipers are much more comfortable talking behind your back because saying things face-to-face requires guts, a department in which they’re severely lacking.
Should you share your gossip with your friends?
The reason this piece of the friendship puzzle tends to be overlooked is because so many people use gossip in order to feel closer to someone. So the line between sharing and oversharing is deliberately side-stepped, all in the name of bolstering the friendship. The reality, Brené points out, is that this type of friendship is merely superficial.
How do you react to gossip about yourself?
Many people initially respond with feelings of horror, anger, anxiety, or even helplessness when confronted with negative gossip about themselves. This is especially true when the rumors are false and you feel trapped in an unfair situation.
Why do people gossip in high school?
People gossip because they yearn to fit in. They see others doing it and they get the urge to do the same because they feel this is the only way to bond with others and form meaningful relationships (even if they’re based on petty gossip). High-school kids are prone to gossiping because of the strong peer pressure they feel.
