I always say "I'll pray for them".
The gossipers cant get away fast enough. 😊
I HATE GOSSIP! I was taught that if a person makes even one statement about someone not present, lightly touch their hand and ask, "Is this gossip? Please change the subject." Then, excuse oneself and walk away if the person continues with the disrespectful behavior. I've often used this technique; people usually change the subject to another topic without tension or defensiveness. I rarely have to physically stand up and walk away. But if I have to walk away, I do without hesitation. Remember: "If people gossip about others to you, what gossip are they sharing about you to others when you're not there."
I would get out my phone and invite the gossiped about person to the conversation, so the gossiper can clearly speak out the point. They always stop gossiping when I do that.
Great technique!
Put them on blast. 😂
Bring it into the light...
That tactic is the fastest way to end all the games. ❤
No idea why I just saw an article saying that “gossiping is empowering” and that “if you hate gossip you hate women”. Insane. Gossip has ruined many people’s lives and reputations.
Alot of men gossip too
Gossip , if repeated can end up as covert workplace bullying, take them to the union or higher .it won't go away , there are some assholes who never give up .
Super simple. Yet assertive and trascendental for everyone involved!!! What a nice video.... Most should have use this as as a frame of reference 🙂
Glad you liked it!
This tell the person if you're going to talk behind a person's back you have to say it to their face
I feel like the first two would backfire… I do agree with the last one though.
Thats a recipe for problems with the gang
i had emphasis on the word HAD a friend that gossiped about me. I don't talk to her anymore. Just ditch them, they don't care about you or they wouldn't be talking about you behind your back. Just move on.
thank you woman
Yes I understand that.but if your telling someone that somebody is harassing you and your scared..that's not gosipoug but making someone aware.
The problem is that I don't know what others are saying about me unless I engage with a gossiper. I've learned that I need to know what others are thinking / saying in order to set the record straight. Yeah, that's messed up, but it's been my experience that no one talks to one another anymore. It has become too scary because of the divisiveness that is now woven into the very fabric of society. My personal issue is that I'm so sensitive, I see how it might be difficult for someone to approach me, but I'd rather figure out how to be more receptive than give in to gossip.
I know that my so called "friends" talk bad about me but thats all the information I need, I don't wanna know what they are saying about me.
It's really hard when your a highly sensitive person,its so hurtful. I'm really careful what I confide to anyone now cause everyone is going to tell someone and that someone is going to tell someone else,I trust noone😢
"That's not in my experience" is the right response unless of course the topic of conversation of concern is about a crime which was committed against the person whom you love who is needing help from you to stay safer after that crime was committed against them. Another thing. If you don't like someone to the same degree as you like someone else in any case like that then why should you spend time with them at all unless you are hoping to hear that alleged only gossip or you are hoping at the time to get something from them. Like lawyer or some other kind of professional work pay. Furthermore why pretend that you like someone enough to be concerned about their wellbeing. A healthier way to be is to spend less time with only acquatntainces who have not made a good first impression on you right away while not being judgemental towards anyone.
I yelled at gossipers before...I need to control my anger. But I want them to understand NEVER to do that with me. I tried doing it lightly and it didn't work. Now I roar like a lion...
I just found out from 2 people I have been the source of gossip for get this. 8 years. Just how bored are church people? 💀 I tried to ask a lady out who was 8 years older than me. It was so bad that i personally blocked her. Fast forward a few months and everything was weird. And I was hearing strange stories. I don’t talk to these people anymore. Maybe should I approach? Or let them approach me?
Love this, thanks.
Awesome Connie! Happy you enjoyed this lesson 😀
I love these strategies! Thank you for providing us with kind and decent ways of opposing negative behavior. Many social scenarios can easily cloud our moral judgements, and it's incredibly helpful to have step by step explanations of how to practically apply otherwise emotional or theoretical social values. When applied with the courage to do what is right, these strategies have the potential to redevelop us into a considerate and truly functional society on all levels.
This video on handling gossip was fire. Got any tricks to keep things positive and still connect with people? ( I find when you dont align with the gossip, in a way you have broken that alignment people get when they togther talk about a third person. :)
u can say “let’s not talk like that about them. i wouldn’t accept anyone talking about you that way, so I won’t do it to them either”. it makes the person respect you more as well
Could you please make video on how to shut some one politely Who is very much interested in our our personal life and I don't want to share about what's happening personal life about them
My family eat breathe and live for gossip..so mentally draining because i dont want to and they always drag me into it.
Would saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” be a sufficient response to show that you are standing up for the person being gossiped about.
Not to a narcissist.
🫶🫶🫶 Thank you!
When someone tell me “what do you mean”
after I was talking shit about a random,
I just say it louder and clearer. Your ways don’t work on me
How can it be break up if the listener follows the gosiper and actually believe what he is saying ,do you need a third party that is honest and doesn't believe in gossip
