Gossip is often a bonding type ritual but I am very careful what I share and who I share it with. <br /><br />I make a mental note not to share alot with those who are constantly gossiping (or in some cases bitching) about other people they know. Makes me think they'd be more than happy to 'share' about me as well. <br /><br />Also I try not to let what I say get too nasty - it's hard some times but worth it!Belindahttp://savemumsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-270033640284962402011-06-24T19:39:21.332+10:002011-06-24T19:39:21.332+10:00Oooooo, I do like a goss and a chat and sometimes ...Oooooo, I do like a goss and a chat and sometimes a bit of assumption making too. I have learnt that it's important to know when to shut up and when to listen and when to stick up for people too. Sometimes it's easy to get carried away with goss when it isn't happening to you and when you've got no idea how hard some people have it and that is why they do the things they do.<br /><br />There isn't much that people don't know about me, I've got nothing to hide. But I am pretty good at keeping secrets and being trusted and confided in, even though I put everything about me out there. I've heard some horrific stuff and there are things that I have not ever shared with my husband because I was truly asked to tell no one. I appreciate being trusted and I would never want to breech someones trust.<br /><br />Also sometimes things get out through other means and have a way of exposing certain people without you having to do anything at all. ahhhh justice!<br /><br />thanks for the great post. love it.Gemma @ My Big Nutshellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251131676081523546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-52667932564334537572011-06-24T17:49:51.472+10:002011-06-24T17:49:51.472+10:00Oh boy, I love a good gossip, er, chat and a cuppa...Oh boy, I love a good gossip, er, chat and a cuppa :) Though I can say I've never divulged a secret. And luckily for me no one's confided in me with something very controversial. <br />Gossip can be a handy tool at times - in my wider family if you want person x to know something, but don't want to cause a scene because god knows they are a touchy lot, you just have a bit of a rant to someone else and, hey presto!, person x gets the message. Childish, and at times cowardly, but works every time and really does save a lot of angst.<br />I have a couple of people I trust but have a pretty boring life so haven't had any deep dark secrets to share. Which is a good thing, of course!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17640012807910462885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-64075069559703298242011-06-24T12:42:03.095+10:002011-06-24T12:42:03.095+10:00I've born the brunt of office gossip.

A good friend of mine came to work in my team, so we'd do the things friends do; chat, have lunch together, be supportive of each other when crappy things happens to the other. Only my friend is a man. The gossiping women in my office couldn't fathom that a man and a woman, both happily married to other people, could be friends without something salacious going on. My boss actually called me into her office to suggest that I not eat lunch with my friend any more. I politely told her to mind her own business.Tenille @ Help!Mumhttp://www.helpmum.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7510416466718757712.post-70024588166724306602011-06-24T09:32:16.484+10:002011-06-24T09:32:16.484+10:00I'd like to do something that made me worthy o...I'd like to do something that made me worthy of being gossiped ABOUT!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.com
