Often people become victims of gossip, and even a trifle can become the reason for idle talk.
We figure out how not to give in and not start gossiping about others, and how not to give others a reason to gossip about you.
What phrase will stop gossips?
You might be surprised, but there are actually quite a lot of people who like to gossip behind someone's back. About 60% of people are willing to discuss those who are not around at the moment.
However, they can all be dealt with if you know just one phrase.
So, all you need to do is ask your interlocutor, “Why are you telling me this?”
Psychologists believe that after this the seasoned gossip is at a loss, because he understands that you have seen through his selfish desire.
