Scandalizer/busybody...
So..
When you hear any gossip or any kind of rumour.. What do you do? Keep it under your hat, but write it in your diary? Spread it fast? Keep it for a while, but soon buckle under the pressure and tell someone? Don't tell a single soul, not even your diary? Change it to something more scandalous/vicious and spread it quick? Can you be trusted to keep a secret? Or does no-one tell you anything anymore? I can be trusted to keep a secret, but if there is a rumour/secret about my friends going round I normally tell them. I don't really enjoy spreading rumours so I normally keep that sort of stuff to myself. |
Well, I can be trusted to keep a secret. But, if it's a rumor, sometimes I spread it and sometimes I just keep it to myself. xD
|
I forget it almost instantly, unless the person who told m needs me to save it for a later date, then I don't tell anyone.
|
I tell it to people I can trust not to tell anyone, which is stupid, because then they tell everyone they can trust not to tell, and soon, everyone knows! :D
All of this, because of my mistake, woohoo! If only us humans weren't so complex. ;; |
I just keep it in mind. After all, I'm already at a neutral point with the six other people in my grade and the fourteen in the grade above, so why ruin it for myself? Unless, of course, it's really serious. An aspiring psychologist should keep anything they hear confidential unless what they hear will hurt someone in a physical way, get them killed, etc.
Same with online stuff. So people can trust telling all sorts of gossip around me while knowing that I'd never reveal their gossip to others unless, of course, because of said reasons above. Although I'll OCCASIONALLY mention some of the gossip online to friends I don't know irl, but because I don't know them irl, and they most likely don't know the people I know irl, it doesn't matter too much XD Some aspiring psychologist I am... >.> |
I find gossip to be stupid. :/ I just hear it and keep doing whatever I was. I don't ever try to spread it, but I'm sure I say stuff like, "Oh hey, did you hear _____."
But if it's something that's actually offensive or reputation-damaging, I try to keep my mouth shut as best as I can. |
I'm perfectly trustable with secrets, namely because I soon forget what I'm told.
As for rumours, I've honestly never encountered them. |
Quote:
If people think I know something, they try to squeeze it out of me XD |
Unless if it's something that someone has entrusted upon me to keep hidden, such as valuable information, I'll lock it in my mind for keepsake.
However, if it was a rumor, and if I know that it's not true, I'll try to change it to something less graphic or reputation-killing, such as… Example:
Hopefully, making the rumor less brutal would make people less interested, and soon the whole thing is forgotten. |
If I know anything about someone that isn't meant to be said aloud, I won't say it. I don't particularly like talking about people behind their back (gossiping normally consists of this, I'm sure you'll agree), so I try to stay out of such conversations. It doesn't really matter who the person is, it's none of my concern.
And I can be trusted with a secret, no matter who's secret it is. It's not cool to backstab people when they've put their faith in you. |
If the rumor doesn't concern me, I'll let it slip by. If it does contain me, I'll try to spread a rumor about that person.

When you gossip, you're basically trying to murder that person with your words. Well, at least that's how my pastor puts it, and I agree. :P What is the REAL reason of gossiping? It's to hurt the person you are gossiping about.
Now, if you are not intending to be malicious and it comes up in a conversation, I wouldn't try to make it sound like that big of a deal. Also, I'm careful to watch what I say to certain people, not everyone is going to go around blabbing it all out. XD But mainly, if you listen to the person you are telling this to, I would think back to conversations I have had in the past with that person, and try to remember if they talk about people. That's your first hint, if they go around talking about Betty Lue and Pally Sue, when Pally Sue & Betty Lue airn't around then I would think twice before mentioning that persons name. :) We must not forget, words can make and break, tear down or build up. The choice is ours. ;) BE WISE MY CHILDREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! |
I'm bad with keeping secrets XD;
I'd tend to tell... Simmone then Malyka then Jess, then everyone else I talk to and before long.. yeah. In other words, I would say the information just probably not purposely. XD; |
unless if its someone I don't like then No, I just ignore it. If I don't like that person then I'll spread it
:t354:TG |
Don't tell a single soul, not even your diary?
I do this to people i like, i won't tell anyone else, i hate spreading stuff about my friends and people i like Change it to something more scandalous/vicious and spread it quick? I only do this if i really hate the person, and i mean really hate. |
I keep secrets, and I don't like to spread gossip or rumour. I had bad experiences with that.
|
I try and tell all my friends. That's what a rumour is, isn't it? To spread around affecting everyone.
But if it's a secret, I'll shut my traps and keep doing whatever I was doing. |
I don't pay attention to any gossip. If it doesn't affect me then I don't care.
But if someone tells me something I won't go around and then tell everyone else about it. |
I have to tell my best friend of course. I tell her everything and even if someone tells me something and I promise not to tell anyone else, I make a note in my head to not tell anyone BUT my best friend. She's so trustworthy <3
|
If it's a rumour I don't really pay much attention too.
I can keep secrets and never reveal them for the rest of my life if I wanted. |
I'll note it down, keep it in my mind, then forget it. It's easy as pie.
