The idea of gossip is a lot more nuanced than we would initially think. It's really important to consider all sides of a story, not just the one that you've been told. We're on our way to becoming better people in our 20s and maybe this is something you want to address or you found yourself engaging in gossip more than you're liking. And I think those five things really help us reframe our relationship to gossip as a positive thing rather than a negative thing.
In this weeks episode we discuss the evolutionary and psychological reasons behind why we gossip. We explore the origins of gossip, the different forms of gossip and how it influences our 20’s, particularly our social connections and sense of community. We also dive into the downsides of rumours and slander, how gossip has evolved with social media and discuss how we can break free of the cycle of gossip in our lives and create more positive conversations and relationships.
