Pssst - Let Me Tell You the Skinny on Gossip - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Have you been the topic of gossip? Do you have a pulse?

Both answers are the same – if you’re alive, someone somewhere at some time has talked about you with someone else. Gossip is a way for people to exchange information, to bolster their own sense of importance, and to create or deepen social bonds.

Eleanor Roosevelt is quoted as saying, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” She was on to something that psychologists and researchers are now discovering – people with a high level of emotional intelligence spend the least amount of time talking about others, while those with the lowest levels of emotional intelligence spend the most time gossiping.

If you hang with the people who gossip, and especially if you are the gossip, you need to think about this: it’s not a good look, and it’s also a big risk. According to an old Turkish proverb, those who gossip to you will gossip about you.

Gossip is toxic…step away!
