Why do friends talk c**p about one another behind each others backs?

Question

I hate it. I think friends really don't exist. There are people you know, but you can only trust a selected few.

Answer 1

I think what happens is that those friends can't talk to you about what they are talking about behind your back. I don't really think a lot of people who talk behind their friend's backs really want to hurt the person, it's more of just getting something off their own back or maybe just having fun with other friends.  

Answer 2

That's part of life. As you grow older you start to see who you're true friends are. Everyone only gets a selected few, I dont know why that is but everyone goes through having friends talk behind their back. I'm sure you have done the same once or twice. Nobody's perfect and it's really hard to trust people these days.

Answer 3

It's just funny to some people...

Or maybe for revenge of some sort

Answer 4

Its human nature, u have to accept it. Just deny when someone asks u.
