When Does Communicating Information Turn into Gossip?

Listen to the audio version of this content

Question:

I was hoping you can explain what gossip is. I always thought it was talking about someone’s personal business or saying half-truths and innuendos. But is it also repeating what you heard about someone divorcing or getting in trouble? When does communicating information turn into gossip?

Answer:

A good rule of thumb is not to say anything that we wouldn’t want said about us.
