Gossip can really become a tsunami of falsity and a tsunami of cruelty. It should force us to reconsider how we use the internet or the conversations that we have with our friends. You know, maybe it is time to reframe and rethink society's relationship with gossip. But with it being so commonplace, how can we retrain ourselves to not engage in this type of information sharing?
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.
