Gossip: When To Hold Your Tongue

Why do people gossip?

Obviously everyone has a different reason for gossiping. I have found that people gossip for one of the following reasons:To fill in the void in conversation - Lack of general knowledge - To belong to a group  - Inferiority Complex - Taking revenge on people who constantly put you down - Unmasking and showing the real side of people -  Show the real side of people who get undeserved praise -  To get attention – gossip sells!
