How to use "Gossip" in context?
Most people would probably define gossip as sharing personal information about another person without their consent. Unfortunately, gossip can be correlated with an increased risk of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Additionally, gossiping can lead to hurt feelings and increased feelings of isolation.
In light of all this, why do people gossip? It seems like there must be a good reason, right? The truth is, there isn't always a good reason, and in some cases, gossiping can actually cause more harm than good.
Gossip can take many different forms, but the basics are always the same.
