There are people who feed off of gossiping, talking shit, and throwing shade constantly every single moment of their lives. They spend all of their time talking about what girls/guys they don't like, who likes whose blue eyes this week, or who made someone cry at some stupid fucking party.

It's like, grow the fuck up guys. Who cares? Who gives a shit? Does it concern you? No it doesn't. I think that's why I don't like 95% of the people I met here in college. It's because they're all so self-absorbed, or at least, so fucking absorbed with other people's lives. Maybe it just means you're so bored with yourself that you have to find something to keep you entertained, and that something else is other people's business. I find that absolutely pathetic. Like, can't you think of something better to talk about than other fucking people? Can you really not think of anything else to waste time talking about than other people's business that doesn't concern you at all? And all you're bringing to the table is talking shit about other girls? Don't like that girl? Fine, shut the fuck up about it. Know someone who doesn't like that same person? Vent about it to each other once, then never bring her up again. Why waste time talking about someone else you don't even like? If you find yourself talking shit about another person you don't like because of something they did, then get the balls to fucking go up to them. You aren't justified in complaining about someone if you can't call them out TO THEIR FACE.

Whenever people ask me, "Oh hey what's going on? There's drama? Do you know anything about it?" And even if I do know, or have some kind of clue as to what's going on, I just say, "Oh I have no idea...I don't really care," and then keep my mouth shut tight then go on with my own life. I'm sorry...I don't fucking like drowning myself in other people's sorrows or pathetic shit that doesn't concern me, especially when it's none of my fucking business.

When I was younger, I used to absolutely love gossiping or talking shit. I just always felt the need for it. I felt like I had to feed off it. I felt like there was nothing worth talking about unless there was gossip involved. Maybe that's why I was so obsessed over reality shows. I was so bored with my own life that I had to constantly keep myself updated with other people's lives. How fucking sad is that? My own life is so unfulfilling and unexciting that I had to resort to peeking into other people's lives to get any meaning in my own. Oh geez.

It's one thing to listen to a friend vent about a hurtful situation that involved another person you know, but to constantly bring up other people's business and spreading it around like a wildfire? Gossip is cheap. You're trading in other people's businesses for something stupid...like, attention. You aren't necessarily being a good friend when you spread around what's going on. It's one thing to help a friend with some advice, but not if you go around that person's back telling other people what's going on. You gossip because it gives you a sense of self-empowerment and entitlement. You gossip because for the first time in your life someone else cares about what you have to say. If you have to resort to spreading other people's shit in order for someone to listen to you, you're pathetic. It also gives you the feeling that you're better than everyone because you're just so insecure about your own self that you'll do anything to put yourself on a pedestal; you have no other way to prove how you are a better individual so maybe airing out someone else's dirty laundry is the way to go for you.

It's nobody else's business...including yours. Just because someone vents to you about a situation they're in doesn't necessarily mean that you're involved. You're not. And it doesn't justify you gossiping about it either.

It's just funny that so many people obsess over issues that won't fucking matter years from now.
