I understand that people gossip, and I’d be lying if I said I never gossip. HOWEVER, if you’re the type of person who is a chronic gossiper and can’t hold a conversation without bringing someone down, people will stop talking to you.
It’s hard to trust someone who is a chronic gossiper. You’re always questioning what kind of stuff they’re saying behind your back because they are talking behind your back. If your conversation can’t hold without talking negatively about someone, you know you’re the topic in a different conversation.
