Is Everyone Talking Behind Your Back?

Stress Management

Humans love to gossip. There is probably no one on our planet that is immune to this habit. And this gossip can be good or bad. People don’t need a great reason to be jealous, make snide remarks or criticize someone behind their backs. And you don’t have to commit a great crime for someone to hate you. You can be criticized and hated if you are good, short, tall, smart, dumb, intelligent, have curly hair, etc, etc, etc. Or people you know could be spreading false rumors to destroy your name due to various personal or official reasons. Everyone does it knowingly or unknowingly.

Often the person who is being gossiped about may never get to hear what others are talking about him or her. But in some cases, you get to know what people are talking about you. Many a time, you can hear somebody chipping away your credibility. If you are a sensitive person this can make you agitated and affect your peace of mind greatly. But as a resilient person, you need to understand one universal fact. And that is, it is impossible to stop gossip, which is a habit that has existed for centuries and will continue to exist forever. You need to develop a thick skin to ignore bad talk about you, however toxic it may be. Or else you can turn yourself into a nervous wreck.
