What to do if you become the object of gossip. Quotes about gossip Statuses about how friends discuss

First of all, discussing a person behind his back allows you to feel more significant and authoritative in the eyes of your listeners. This is also due to ordinary envy, the desire to achieve the status of the person in question and the sublimation of one’s desires in relation to him. Gossiping about someone often increases the self-esteem of the gossiper and gives him the opportunity to grow in his own eyes, as well as gain ephemeral power over the reputation of the person being discussed.

Often, with the help of gossip, people justify their shortcomings - after all, in others they are irritated by precisely those qualities that they do not find (or do not recognize) in themselves.

Not the least reason for discussion is the desire to please the interlocutor. Having shared a certain secret with someone, a gossip automatically becomes a person who has important information that he decided to entrust to his interlocutor, thereby distinguishing him from the majority. The more rumors gossipers spread, the more confident they feel, supporting their own egocentrism and often receiving gratitude for their knowledge of the personal affairs of certain individuals.

The birth of gossip

Each person has his own point of view, but not everyone strives to express it. Women and self-confident, vain people who consider it necessary to convey their royal opinion to others most often sin by discussing behind their backs. Gossip often plays the role of a kind of social “glue”, since with its help people who cannot always find common topics for conversation realize their need for communication. When discussing someone, they most often find like-minded people and continue to speak evil in their close circle.

Usually, the person being discussed sooner or later finds out about the gossip being spread around him - and then the gossiper may suffer for his long tongue.

Psychologists recommend that subjects of discussion ignore gossip spread about them or turn to the gossiper in front of everyone, demanding confirmation of his accusations or fictitious facts. Active refutation or retaliatory gossip reduces a person to a loser, so it is advisable to perceive all negativity with humor and respond to everything with a regal, condescending smile. Usually these are the most gossipers - after all, the original goal is not fulfilled, the object does not suffer, therefore, the gossiper himself turns into a powerless market woman who looks like a Pug barking at an elephant.

It's sad to know that people talk about you behind your back. Since such gossip spreads quickly, it is difficult to find the source of the gossip. It is for this reason that you will most likely only make things worse by trying to confront people who are spreading rumors about you. The best tactic in this case is to ignore. In addition, you can try to become more positive and change your perspective on gossip.

Steps

How to Deal with People Who Gossip

Don't do anything. You may be tempted to confront the person who is gossiping about you, in which case the best response to his actions is to ignore his gossip. Just think, this person will not be able to say these words to your face. Therefore, you should not give him new topics for gossip. Just stop this vicious cycle by completely ignoring gossip.

Treat gossipers with kindness. Another way to respond to gossip is to cultivate a kind attitude towards people. Gossipers will be confused and puzzled that you treat them so well even though they have been gossiping about you. Plus, if you take an optimistic approach to everything, gossipers may feel guilty for talking about you behind your back.

Set limits on gossip. If you find yourself spending a lot of time with people who talk about you behind your back, try to keep your distance from them. Remember that you don't have to be friends with them just because you are forced to work together.

Be kind, but don't get close to gossipers. Don't tell them personal things that could become another topic of gossip in the future.

Think about the gossiper's motives. If your friend or acquaintance started spreading rumors about you, most likely he had his own reasons for this. Most good friends wouldn't spread negative rumors about you that might upset you. If your friend simply became involved in this gossip, try to find out why he did this, and also think about how he might react to these rumors.
- You can set next questions: “How did you know what was going on?” or “What were you saying when you spread that rumor?” You can simply ask, “Why are you telling me this?” The answers to these questions will help you understand the gossiper's motives.
- You don't have to end your relationship with the gossiper. But it would be wise to communicate with this person with greater care. Most likely, this person is not as innocent as he tries to seem. Perhaps he is the one spreading the gossip rather than trying to stop it.
Don't gossip. You already know how unpleasant it is when people talk about you behind your back. But if you don’t try to stop it, you can assume that you are also to blame for the current situation. Some people just like to discuss other people's personal lives, but remember that they won't be able to do this if they don't have listeners (that is, people who share their opinions).

Talk to someone in authority. If gossip is interfering with your work or studies, you will need to address the issue at the administrative level. In this case, a teacher or supervisor will help you solve this problem.

How to change gossip about yourself

Don't take gossip personally. You can easily encounter people who talk about you behind your back, but remember that their words say more about themselves, not about you. You cannot control what others say about you. But you can control your reaction to their words. Treat gossip as extraneous information. Don't be a victim of other people's problems.

Realize that people may just be jealous of you. It may not look like it, but people may say bad things about you because someone is bullying them. A person may envy your life, your skills and abilities, and popularity. Their nasty and angry words may just be a way to hurt you.

Low self-esteem. Another feature of the gossiper is low self-esteem. People who talk bad about you may be doing it on purpose to assert themselves. Perhaps the person who spreads gossip about you constantly feels insignificant, most likely he has low self-esteem. As a result, this person begins to say bad things about others.
