I am one of those people folks are drawn to upon which to drop their life problems. So I get lots, and lots of juicy, juicy gossip.
And I can admit, on occasion, it can make another person a nice Schadenfreude for myself. Also, there was a time when I would spread gossip like wildfire, until one occasion where it honestly hurt someone, and I just knew immediately, I had to stop, or curb it somehow. So myself, and my best friend established a system by which, when we find something we really need to gossip about, she and I gossip together, and get it out of our systems, since she's like the left half of my brain, and we know that it doesn't extend beyond us. That ends up curbing the instinct, while still getting it out our systems.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
