Gossip Might Actually Be Good for You

We all love to gossip, whether we admit it or not. And while it often gets a bad reputation, experts say it can be good for us. Studies show that gossip can be a way to bond with others and strengthen social connections. It can even be a positive thing if your goal is to build someone up rather than tear them down. On average, people spend about an hour a day talking about others, which can turn negative. Experts suggest keeping sensitive information to yourself and avoiding the spread of false rumors, as they can be more damaging than ever in the digital age.
