Managing a GOSSIPMONGER

I was always interested in people. I have always liked observing them. Learning psychology has helped me to observe people and understand the reason behind their behaviour. But even after these many years its still an unknown factor that why some woman are interested in others life and why they always love to interfere in other people’s personal matters. They have no shame to barge into the privacy of your life. They shamelessly ask very personal questions to you, your likings, your decisions, your family matters etc. Such woman are also very much interested to share all these informations to all the other people. Why do they do that? What do they get from it?

They create a lot of confusions and the worst part of it is that many innocent and naive people fall into their vicious trap of rumours and gets the blame. It is almost impossible to change these type of people as they are under the impression that whatever they are doing is the right thing and they are under the false belief that they are more powerful thanothers and always have a upper hand in everything. But in truth they are the most powerless, spineless, egocentric and most scared humans I have ever met in my life. To feel powerful they purposefully help you without even being asked, they come to you to start a friendship which you might feel odd and they come up with sugar coated words, they will never express their true opinion to you openly. They talk behind your back , they hate when they see you happy and successful.

To get rid of them you have to

  • Be vigilant and don’t fall prey to their whims and fancies.
  • Train yourself to be calm and watch what you speak to them.
  • Pretend as you like them but at the same time shut your eyes and ears from their melodrama.
  • Never get influenced by their remarks, both positive and negative.
  • Not to discuss your personal affairs with them.
  • Never comment on their personal affairs and always come up with a diplomatic answer.
  • Never include them in your communication channel, do not make them your mediator, they will definitely twist your words for their benefit.
  • Never ask for their help other than a professional one.
  • Do not take favours from them as you will be expected to do favours for them, favours that will be against your morale.

It is easy to manage them and to distract them as they always have one or the other things in their mind to ponder on. They fail to realise whether you are really interested in them or not. They are always behind getting new informations from new people. Being professional with these people is very much necessary. Insulting them or demeaning them in front of others will never help you. Facing them directly and professionally is the only way to sustain with such people of low morale.

All the above mentioned things have helped me deal with them and it has been successful, hope you will be profites by the same.

    I just happened to read your blog piece on handling a gossip mongers. Well in my point of view this is the daily humdrum of certain women who think it otherwise to have an opinion about others in their own version. In a short span of my life as a teacher I happened to meet people who are worse than gossip mongers. Well according to me there is a equally fair amount of men too who would be eligible to de donning this title of a gossip mongers. As it is believed women are born with the gift of the gab topped with a vicious sting, time has also proved that some men are not far behind. Well I would say people who have no social acceptance or people who like to flaunt their rallying ability take upon themselves the self proclaimed prerogative to interfere and stage upfront their views about others and end up being the glorified GM(gossip mongers)
