Gossip As A Form Of Bullying
Time and again some clients tell me about the devastating effect of gossip on their lives. Gossip is a form of unwellness that is worth unpacking. In this blog, I am answering three questions about this form of trauma: “Why do people gossip”? “What is the impact of gossip”? And “How to deal with gossiping”?
Why do people gossip?
Gossiping is not just innocent, idle talk between friends and colleagues, although it often serves as a means of social bonding. Humans are inherently social creatures, and gossip can create a sense of connection by sharing information about others. This can be a way to enhance the “us against them” mindset. There is no doubt that gossip can be entertaining. People might engage in it to pass the time or as a form of amusement, as long as they are not the subject of the chattering.
Paul Myers, says, “Gossip is like a fired bullet. Once you hear the sound, you can't take it back.”
The darker side of humans is their urge to gain power and control. Some people gossip to assert power or control over others. Sharing sensitive or confidential information can give them a sense of superiority or dominance. This form of gossip is a tool used in bullying and especially cyber-bullying with heartbreaking consequences. The craving to have power and control included the escalation of dominance by adding melodramatic untruths, half-truths and outright lies to the conversation.

Let me demystify the process when you come to visit me because most of my clients want me to focus on specific goals and give structure to the counselling. They express a particular preference for me to teach them skills to deal with their problems in future.
