Do people gossip about you unnecessarily?

Question

How does this affect you?Do you get into problems for this?And how do you avoid this type of people?

Answer 1

Constantly. Have not gotten into any problems yet..other than just being annoyed in general. I think most people actually ignore gossip..most reasonable people anyway.

I don't know anyway to avoid them other than moving away from civilization.

Gossipers will gossip whether can avoid them or not from my experience anyway.

I am pretty numb to it now. I just laugh when I hear the crazier things. And when the gossip is true its usually so inconsequential I wonder why anyone even cares.

Answer 2

Just because I'm (hypothetically) paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me.

Answer 3

A while back I was employed in a department that was gossiping quite a bit about me.  When we had a department meeting, at the end, I stood up and proclaimed that a number of things were being said about me and that I would like to declare that they are in fact true.  Then I walked out.  Nothing was ever said again about me.

Answer 4

yup, and i do the same to other people.

Answer 5

Of course.

It doesn't affect me at all ...although I do worry that they might be working their selves into an unnecessary frenzy about me.

No.

I avoid them my marking them with a BIG red Cross and then walking on the other side of the road, or drive so as to NOT hit them.

Sash.
