How Much Do You Love to Gossip?

You are the reigning King or Queen of gossip. You've earned this title because while you love to gossip (and doesn't everyone?), you also enjoy creating gossip, and even sometimes the fabrication of rumors. While it's probably humanly impossible to not gossip at all, try to remember that there are much more important things to talk about than other people. Especially when they're your friends, loved ones, or acquaintances! Gossiping may feel good at the moment that you're doing it, but it's pretty damaging for everyone in the long run and it's worth it to try focusing on ideas and concepts rather than the judgment of other people.

You enjoy gossiping about everyone, even celebrities, which is probably perfectly normal. Except that gossip is a complete and utter waste of time, damages reputations, destroys relationships, and makes you less productive and less happy. Try this, for a change: when a piece of gossip enters your life, try ignoring it and turning the negative thoughts into positive ones. Think about that person you're talking about and the positive traits they encompass, instead of the juicy, negative ones, and see how positivity and well-being will flow into your life (and change it for the better)!

You might not be responsible for starting rumors or gossipy conversations, but you don't refuse to listen to the drama, either. Gossiping actually makes you quite uncomfortable, and you'd much rather talk about ideas and concepts rather than people. It's often hard for you to break away from falling into the drama of it all, but it would be worth it to try gently steering the conversations away from people to other topics that are more interesting!

You are not a gossip. Not at all! You're a very rare type of person in that you do not enjoy, partake in, or allow gossip to go on around you. You understand gossip for what it is: a malicious psychological mechanism designed to conceal feelings of jealousy and self-hatred. Hats off to you, good sir, or good madam! We need more people like you in the world!
