The Gossip

You probably know people that say one thing to you, and then they tell someone else something completely different when you are not around. And then they come and tell you a bunch of gossip about somebody else.  These kinds of people are very damaging to many relationships.  They can also damage your reputation and make you look like a fool.

In the beginning you cannot believe they are doing this - they seemed to be so nice and caring - you thought they were your friend, but they are spiteful and an unreliable source of information.

“This person said this about you”

A common strategy of two-faced people is to 'false-team': "Some people have been talking about you, a couple of people have been saying…” But when you ask who these people are and exactly what they have been saying the informant clams up! You are unsure about what they are saying and all they have made you feel paranoid. They might do this for the entertainment factor or they may be jealous of others. No matter what their reasons are, having to deal with them can be an awful experience.

People who gossip often operate by getting your trust; they may charm you by telling you personal information about themselves. This makes you trust them so you feel open to tell them something about yourself.  Later you find out that this has turned against you.

Gossip and back stabbing can be compared to warfare; there is a sniper that shoots from an unseen location so that you are unable to defend yourself. When you take them into the open and confront them they get defensive towards you.
