We have to admit, we do like a bit of gossip, if somethings going down, whoever we are, we do always find it interesting to know whats going on in peoples lives, whether it's a celebrity or a friend, even if it's someone we don't actually. Our social lives thrives on gossip and the lives of other people.
With social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, we put so much of our lives out there, and yet we wonder how gossip goes around.
We throw everything on our profiles, the food we eat, our mood swings, and I am definitely one of those people, I like a good old stressy status. Facebook has become a way to vent, in result people see it, and will make assumptions of whats going on, and rumours, that spread like shit anyway, now spread even quicker.
People do say, people who concern themselves with other peoples lives and problems clearly don't have anything interesting going on in theirs, and in some cases that can be true, but I do also believe that sometimes we focus on other peoples gossips at times to escape from the negative things going on in our own lives.
Come on, admit it's nice to sometimes see how shitty life is going for someone we hate when we aren't too happy with our own lives? It makes you feel better right? Not that that's right, but... I won't deny it feels good sometimes!
A few of you asked for some of my tips to help prevent the spread of gossip, so here they are!
1) (and the most obvious!) Think about who you're telling your business too, everyone has a few friends that are complete gossips!
2) Avoid 'heat of the moment' Facebook status' and tweets etc, it gets people talking!
3) No matters what's going on behind closed doors, put on that poker face! Sometimes you don't need to say a word for people to know things are wrong!
Remember you can email me! Facebook me! and follow me on Twitter! to put in suggestions for future (more in depth) posts and advice!
Soon my new advice blog will be uploaded for you to take a gander at, aimed at my younger teenage audience!
Take care guys!
