if they gossip to you they will gossip about you

[jeffmays]

A S-2 Marine once said, "Gossip destroy teamwork." The dude was deep.

[knowthyself]

Wow. I did not know that. As an NCO, I counseled my all my Soldiers not to tell me anything about another Soldier that you were not willing to tell me, in their presence, Do not tell me anything that did not have to do with their safety or anothers, or would bring dishonor to the section or unit. This was my way to keep Soldiers from telling me B.S.

[AyaInspiredTarot]

I used to just say, "I'll pray for them", no matter what the gossip is. because people who are gossiping are waiting to see what you have to say about the person. So when you don't say anything at all, they stop coming to you for fuel.

I use to go to a church where gossip was becoming a problem. I began to do one thing when those people would come to me and want to talk about others in the church. When they would come to me and say “Hey did you hear about so and so?” I would say to them “Before you say anything I want you to know that as soon as you tell me what it is you want to tell me I am going straight to that person and telling them what you said, where you said you heard it, and ask them if it is true.” You could have heard a pin drop every time I did this. It always worked and I encouraged other members to use the same tactic. Before long.l, those people who were the gossips left the church and never came back. That method was effective for us and I still use it today. It had never failed me.

Great reminder! A lot of people use gossip as a way to bond. I am tempted to join in because I come from a household that likes to gossip. I am aware of the habit, now I try to steer clear once I realize gossiping is part of someone’s personality. Shedding the old self is hard but easier with each time I refuse to participate.

1 is it true

Socrates... still good❤

I get looks when I flat out tell co-workers that I don’t like or need gossip.

[christiananderson]

I love complimenting my friends behind their backs to other people

[mcw-lgdm]

This is one of those things that slapped me in the face when I got a little bit older, almost every person I've ever met talked horribly or gossipped behind every person's back. Best friends, family, spouses, Co workers, doesn't matter. It's the main reason for me being a loner

[chrisburke]

This was a really, really good thing to hear.

I hate gossip. I've watched a genuinely nice & loyal person lose employment & a circle of work friends he really cared for because the main 'girl of the group' is ALWAYS gossiping about nonsense she knows nothing about or makes up just so she has something to talk about when ppl are around


Gossip is for chumps

[Lliamese]

A priest said: gossip is a sin of theft against someone’s reputation

[smmusicplus]

There's this guy at work who literally whispers his gossip. After a couple of these interactions, I said to him, "Dude, not only can I not hear what you're saying, but I dont want to know what you're saying." He's probably whispering about me now.

[brucesmearer]

The 4 agreements number one “Be impeccable with your word “ don’t involve yourself with gossip. Speak only truth.

[wmrustycox]

Some of the greatest advice I've ever heard ! I am no fan of gossip... I've seen so many people hurt by idle gossip and it's unconscionable as to why people would endeavor in such things.
Mark yet one more up for Socrates !!!

[Aspectus]

Good for filtering negativity....bad for filtering water

[Muskys]

See it everyday.. thus I’m the real “loner” in most social situations. It’s lonely most days but I just can’t bring myself to get on that level anymore. I’m not praising myself here…I was not always like this, just at some point things changed with my beliefs and values and man is it hard some days. It’s cliche but I do sleep better.
I guess thinking about it more(this is interesting) I’m ok with being myself even if that means I’m alone in a room full of people. I realize I’m not “really” alone at all, I’m just very content with me.
-this is a great piece of information.

[GaiaNeh]

The most toxic one at a (recently new) job tried to gossip with me. I listened and I also made it clear along the way that I walk away from drama. Even got on my feet and demonstrated walking backwards.
Months later, I have a list of ways she's tried to bring drama in my direction, went as far as setting me up for missing money. And I just doge it all like nothing.
I'm getting ready to leave. My position is easier to find replacement than hers. But today's gossip (from another) is that my boss already knows who the real problem is and wants to keep me. Letsee how true that is.

[imonaroll]

As a manager this comes useful under many different situations. ❤

Shawn, thank you for all your efforts at bringing to a wider audience the wisdom and compassion that reside in many of our warrior class. It reminds me of King David, who the Bible describes as a man after God's own heart. David is often remembered as a warrior...but he was also a musician, a poet, and a shepard responsible for the care and protection of helpless creatures. People often typecast those in our warrior class as simply human instruments of blunt force and violence. Often, the men best suited for righteous warfare are those that cultivate the mind, body, and soul. Your venue goes a long way in helping to extract their wisdom and experiences for the benefit of a wider audience. Thank you...
