Gossips sometimes are capable to destroy human life. They provoke quarrels and can become the reason of partings and dismissals from work. Not to fall the next victim of telltale tongues, it is necessary to learn to fight against gossips.
Instruction
1. You are not angry and the more so do not quarrel with gossips, do not make scandals. Otherwise soon enough about you will speak as about the person unbalanced, spiteful or even mentally sick. Besides, attempts to stop gossips thus will lead to deterioration in a situation: having understood that you try to be protected, gossips will see in your life and the person even more attractive object for discussion, than earlier.
2. Ignore gossips and never participate in discussion of acts, private life and appearance of friends, relatives and colleagues. If you do not pay attention to colleagues gossips or to talk to them only on working subjects, they will lag behind you after a while. The same concerns friends and relatives: do not support others chatter. At the same time do not pretend as if you hide something and do not allow ambiguous situations that they were not misinterpreted.
3. Do not follow the tastes of gossips and do not give in on their provocation. For example, if you learned that colleagues or acquaintances condemn your manner to put on, do not rush on shops, seeking to update the clothes, and do not change image. Pretend that you heard nothing at all and do not know that speak about you behind the back. Otherwise you and will remain a constant object of gossips.
4. Be reasonable and monitor the behavior when you are in the company of the people liking to gossip. You do not speak about yourself and it is more life, than follows. You can even pretend to be a gray mouse in which there is nothing interesting at all. Gossips will lag behind you pretty fast.
5. If unpleasant gossips about you already extended, try to make so that talkers had nothing to discuss. For example, if colleagues speak about your new novel, stop to give them new information on your private life: you do not speak with the soulmate by phone at office, avoid situations when talkers can see you together, etc.
