Friends don't gossip about one another. You surely can't miss a friend you never had, and a person who is claiming to be your friend that would gossip about you in the first place is your enemy. They're not your friend.

gossips and busybodys seem to have friends. thats how they get to be gossips. but don't fool yourself into thinking that makes you safe from the gossiping. it actually gives the gossip more material to work with.

These three anonymous quotes sum up precisely how I feel on this: "An empty wagon makes the most noise." "My life needs editing." "Gossip is the devil's radio."

It's been said many, many times before -- what goes around, comes around. Unforunately, some never learn until they find themselves alone, wondering where everyone went....

Yea; that's a quick friendship turn-off, right there. That's probably the easiest way to annoy me (if you're my friend).

Repeat every rumor, no matter how unsubstantiated. Be a nosy Nellie, sticking your long nose in everybody's business. Before you know it, nobody will tell you everything because of your tendency to broadcast it far and wide. UPDATE: Irishgit is a happily married man, Ignatius!

Well, one thing, if you're losing friends, then who are you going to gossip to?
