Why do people gossip ?

I’ve often wondered why people like to gossip, including myself. Why do we do it, and why do we like to do it ? I’ve come to the conclusion that it makes us feel safe, and gives us a feeling of excitement . What do you think ? Do you gossip now and again ?

Women gossip. As a rule, men don't have enough time on their hands to chat about what Mary's daughter's been up to.

Stereotypes generally hold true, but by way of explanation, women are more communal which gives rise to the opportunity to gossip, and they are more cooperative which gives them the incentive to bond as a group.

I expect that the misogynists will be along in a few moments to tell us how women are just as bad as men, and that their brother is a curtain twitcher which proves something or other.

By the way pattricia, love the new hairdo, very chic, did Amy's sister do it?

I'm not much of a gossip, to my friends i'm a shoulder and an ear and will offer advise if asked for it.. to other people i dont know, i dont really care! It's their business and none of mine..

My mother is a MASSIVE gossip though, and she used to do my head in when i lived at home so maybe that's why i keep my nose out of peoples business, hate to think i'd be like my mother :hihi:

Do you sit in silence with your mates in the pub then?

You might call it something different, but 'gossip' is just part of staying in touch with your social circle.
