　　Why do we gossip?

　　Good question.

　　We gossip 'cause we have nothing better to do.

　　Make time pass.

　　Why do we gossip?

　　I think to feel better about ourselves...

　　...and to attach ourselves to the other person that we're gossiping with.

　　It makes people feel better to talk about other people's damage and brokenness.

　　When people gossip about me, it's hurt my feelings...

　　...and I didn't wanna get hurt and I don't wanna hurt other people.

　　It's talking about someone in no way or shape or form helps you or helps them,...

　　...but if you talk to the person as opposed to talking about them,...

　　...you actually get somewhere.
