Let’s face it — most of us gossip. Research shows that more than seventy percent of our daily conversations revolve around talking about somebody else.
Venting does serve a purpose. Experts say it provides an avenue to talk about things that upset us, and it allows us to connect with another person who might understand our pain.
“Your cortisol goes up, which means your fuel consumption goes up. So, what happens - you actually fired up your body. And if you keep it that way, it’s like driving a car on the freeway in second gear. It just is running and racing and racing. So, any time you go to the mode of gossiping or speaking negatively about people, you’ve actually now fired up your fight or flight physiology.” says MD and Chronic Pain Expert, David Hanscom.
And that can lead to survival mode where you gossip about others to make you feel better about yourself.According to Hanscom, “Your immune system starts attacking your own tissues. Your metabolism or fuel consumption starts taking fuel from your tendons and ligaments and cartilage, actually your brain.”Experts also warn that gossiping can cause long-term physical and mental issues like panic attacks, guilt, and in extreme cases, post-traumatic stress disorder.
It’s important to process tough situations, but the key is not to dwell on them. Spending more time focusing on the positive.
