- Go to When is gossip - gossip?
Mariposa - I think it is healing to be able to write about past experiences and hurts. Gossip in a negative manner is quite another thing. It has always caused destruction and pain

I tend to agree with Justi. Gossip is one thing, writing about your pain is another. We just need to respect the difference. Good post.

Trying to figure out when a line is being crossed here can be quite tricky.

Gossip can bring a lot of unwarranted pain to someone.

Gossip a la soap opera is a bad habit! Personal problems are slightly different!

I think maybe you have this down to a thin line. If you are writing about another person who hurt you and you have forgiven them and you are putting the details as they occurred then you should also say you have forgiven them or work on forgetting it. I believe it is good for the soul to get out the offences that have really hurt; unless these are slips the other person made and did not do them to offend you. Many people hurt others unwittingly.
