Hey everyone,

2013 has been quite a year of reflection and growth for me.

Continuing on my 'journey'; one thing I'm keen to achieve is to stop partaking in gossiping.

I'm not even sure if gossiping is the right word.

What are your thoughts on gossiping?
Is gossiping only negative - or can it be positive?
If it is positive talk about another person is it gossiping?
When you hear gossip can you help yourself but pass it on?
Have you heard gossip about a friend and let them know / confronted them about it?

I work at a few places and I always try and look to peoples positives, but often I hear the gossip and I try to remain as neutral as possible, but sometimes it just sucks me in like a Dyson and I say more than I'd like too. It's like a pringle - once I pop I can't stop :-(. But upon walking away I'm very aware that I said more than I'd intended and feel quite disappointed in myself.

Any recovering gossip-holics out there care to share how you ceased?
