When Others Talk, Will You Rise or Fall?
Have you ever wondered why we're drawn to sharing stories about others behind their backs? The Fruitblenderz Podcast tackles the complex and universal behavior of gossip, revealing how this seemingly innocent habit can silently erode trust and damage mental health.
Discover the fascinating neurochemistry behind gossip as we explore how sharing information about others triggers the release of both oxytocin and dopamine in our brains. This biological reward system helps explain why gossip feels momentarily satisfying despite its harmful consequences. We examine how gossip can lead to serious outcomes including depression, anxiety, decreased self-esteem, and in some cases, even suicidal thoughts.
The most powerful moment comes through personal testimony about overcoming being the subject of gossip. "When someone talks negative about you, that means you're doing something important." This perspective shift transforms gossip from a painful experience into validation of your impact. Rather than being defined by others' words, we discuss how to use these experiences as fuel for personal growth and resilience.
You'll walk away with practical strategies to break the gossip cycle in your own life: focusing on positive conversations, practicing empathy, setting clear boundaries, and being mindful of your thoughts and actions. These simple yet effective approaches not only protect others from the harmful effects of gossip but also contribute to your own well-being by fostering a more positive mindset.

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. Wherever you are and however you are watching or listening, welcome to Fruit Blenders Podcast. On today's episode, our main topic and subject is about gossiping Gossiping. Gossiping is an ideal talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. The act is also known as dishing or tattling. Factor of how people interpret gossip is whether they believe someone is passing on gossip to help out the listener or to benefit themselves. If they perceive it to be the former, they trust the gossiper more.
Speaker 1:Gossip can be vital to those who listen to it. It can be a negative vibe and energy. Gossiping can have a negative impact on someone's life or loved one. It can mentally be draining. Some people ask themselves what is the main reason of gossiping. Well, some of the reasons for gossiping includes gathering and confirming information and protecting your group or yourself from being the next gossip target. Then everyone wants to know what are the effects of gossip. For instance, gossip and rumors can destroy a person's self-confidence and self-esteem, and it can also lead to depression, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, anxiety and host other issues as well.
Speaker 1:Be careful before gossiping about someone else's business or information, or information On top of that. Most people, or some people, don't want their information to be out there. If it's private, keep it private. If it's public, let it be. But once they tell you a secret or information that no one else is supposed to know, because they trust you, you must keep it to yourself.
Speaker 1:Also, we have always asked ourselves why is gossip so powerful? I mean, think about it. Why is it so powerful? Is it so powerful? Gossiping is a bonding activity which could release oxytocin and it could also trigger the release of dopamine, which is the reward hormone. It releases all these dopamines in your hormones. Let's also remember and to argue that gossip proliferates because sharing information about people's reputations can have a selfishness deterrence effect on gossip recipients.
Speaker 1:Let's begin to question this. Why is gossip so toxic? I mean why Gossip directly erodes trust. Gossip directly erodes trust. Inevitably everything someone says about another person is going to get back to them. Often made more sinister by the telephone game, employees begin to guard themselves, refuse to share information or ideas or retreat into themselves to avoid toxic employees. Even within our families, even within our circle of friends, co-workers, peers, teachers, I mean anyone, business partners, it does not matter. Gossip is everywhere. That's why it is toxic and that's how us as humans sometimes feed off of gossip, which is a very toxic behavior, but we still do it. I wonder why. Like, what does gossiping say about a person? Is what I'm asking. What does it say about a person? Well, occasionally, gossip is common.
Speaker 1:Frequent gossiping might suggest a person enjoys discussing others' lives, struggles and with directly addressing their own issues, or seeks attention or a sense of belonging, though it doesn't necessarily define their entire character. So that means like someone can entirely be talking about your business out there, what you have done, where you went to, where you work, at what kind kind of car you drive, everything. Oh, did you hear this? Did you hear that? That's what we have to avoid is gossiping. But guess what? Us as human beings, we do it every day. Did you hear about so-and-so? We should not be doing that.
Speaker 1:But now let's discuss on how to stop gossiping. Let's do it. How to stop gossiping, how Well to stop gossiping? Focus on positive conversations at work, school, career. You know your field anywhere. Practice empathy, set boundaries, please set boundaries, and also be mindful of your thoughts and actions, while also encouraging others to do the same. So, basically, be positive and think positive. We don't always have to talk about somebody because that actually hurts you as a person, inside your heart, and whether you are Christian, muslim, jew, there's always a saying within your soul, your imam Protect that your heart, protect it. Be a good person or try to be a good person. Try, try, just be positive and shift your focus to positivity. Replace negative talk with positive talk. Oh hey, did you hear so-and-so moved on? Yes, if they moved on within their careers or relationships, celebrate the positive side. They did it Because for us it's hard to move on and, trust me, I've been there.
Speaker 1:Let's discuss our experience of gossiping. Let's discuss my experience with gossiping and I'll be honest here. I've gossiped before and gossiping is never for good or bad reasons. We just do it. We just do it bad reasons, we just do it. We just do it as humans. We just do it. It's just there. It's our instincts. It's one of them at least. But we have to stop and honestly, I've stopped that. That was a long time ago. That is not me anymore, so I hope that you've changed as well.
Speaker 1:So my experience with gossip is I've always been talked about and I never liked that, but it never brought me out of character. I mean, whoever gossiped about me. I don't care, I really don't. They can talk the talk, they can walk the walk, but guess what? I am still standing. People have talked about my past relationships, my past vehicles, I've driven where I went to school, who I was dating, what type of family I have behind me. Like everything, people have discussed everything about my life and it has not taken them anywhere. Because I am strong and I believe that you are strong too, take yourself to a higher level than being talked about. Ignore that negative conversation, because, guess what? People will always talk about you. Now you're probably wondering how did you do it? How did you ignore the negative comments about you? How did I do it? I didn't care. I've heard everything.
Speaker 1:What's new, right and the best part about people talking about you is you can either come from that or let that defeat you, which you don't want that to happen. You have to overcome that. It doesn't matter what kind of information they have about you. It does not matter who you're dating, what type of family you have, what type of information they have about you. It does not matter who you're dating, what type of family you have, what type of support you get. It doesn't matter where you work. It doesn't matter what kind of car you drive, it does not matter where you go to school or what's your highest education level, it doesn't matter. Let people talk about you as you grow within. Let them do it. Let them do it.
Speaker 1:But you have to learn how to ignore that and make it a positive thing, because when someone talks negative about you, that means you're doing something important. Did you hear that? Doing something important? Did you hear that when someone is talking negative about you, that means you are doing something important? And I've always believed in that. My mother, my mother, yes, she taught me how to believe in that. Oh son, let them talk about you. It doesn't matter, you are that guy, you are him. They can't change you. She can't change you, nobody can. So our lesson for today on this episode is gossip will always be there and it will never, ever stop. As long as we exist, gossip will never stop. So please move on with gossip, change that about you and move forward in life.
