Shit Talking and Gossiping is something everyone does. Yet, no one likes to admit they do it. Because of all the negative aspects that are shown on the big screen, it feels like we, as a society, have accepted the fact that gossiping and shit talking is a bad thing to do and hence, we deny that part of us…
Who knows? Maybe they are bad, but maybe not. In this episode, we think out loud and try to figure out exactly that.
We share our personal experiences with the endless vicious cycles of gossiping. Then, we talk about the importance of choosing your shit talking and gossiping buddies wisely, as well as the importance of the intention behind the fact sharing. To finish it off, we try to rationalize gossiping and look at the positives of it, such as trust building and bond creations in friendship and we even introduce our own theory behind our need and desire to gossip: herd protection mentality! (A more detailed episode breakdown is included at the end of this description) If you are curious to hear about our take on this fun and exciting topic, press play and enjoy the episode!
