Answer 3

curiosity is a natural part of the human condition.

Compound that with a snese of the competitive desire to know what other people are doing with respect to what you are doing.

For example I have an old car and my neighbor buys a brand new car. I want to know why did they get the car, how did they pay for it, what did they do to get the money. and finally how come I can't get a new car. and so forth.

Plus finally, it's fun. We all secretly enjoy thinking that we know something about someone else. It gives us a thrill, and makes us feel powerful and superior to others that don't know whatever "it" is. This is why there is an enitre industry built around "gossip" magazines etc.

Answer 6

There will always be people in life that want to know everything. They seem that anything anybody talks about is their business. Don't worry about it. I think that people are nosy because they grew up always being told everything they wanted to hear. They were probably the center of attention, so they will put their attention to things that are not their business. There are some people in life that may be to sensitive, so when they hear their name in a conversation, they are immediately suspicious.

Or if a group of people are talking about something bad that happened that only a few people know, others would be suspicious and want to know.
