You recieve what you give. Thus is the law of attraction. Talk much about nature and people will talk with you about the same topic. Speak in a polite way and you will get adressed in a fellow manner. Positivity brings positivity. Negativity brings negativity. Do what you want and you will get what you desire. You reap what you sow. Love grows when you waste it.
I have never been someone who adds to gossip, but I have been around people when they โtalk shitโ about others. I donโt join in, but sometimes I am curious and listen in, other times I just leave the room or talk to others instead.
To me, politeness has always been about manners and such, but not gossiping is also a polite thing to do. Being polite sets up boundaries and shows that you care about yourself and others.
People feel seen and heard
There is a lot of bravery and honesty needed to change a urge to gosspip into a heartwarming sincere conversation. All that effort is totally worth it. It’s scary at first but over time becomes a way of being. Being politely sincere is the only way to create clean and clear connections.
This seemed to happen a lot in my old work environment back in Seattle. People in general just weren’t happy there, so talking about one another was the order of the day. Initially, I was very caught up in it. I would find myself joining in and contributing. This used to get to me because at times I was complaining or talking about people I
considered my friends. Eventually though, I recognized that it was hurting rather than helping me. And I shifted. I couldn’t change the dynamics of the office environment I was in, but I could change my active participation in them. The payoff for me was that I was able to leave at the end of each day not feeling like I was being inauthentic to who I am. I didn’t feel guilt because I hadn’t allowed myself to slip into those previous patterns and behaviors. The focus on it has also helped me to be aware of what I am saying and how I am saying it to this day.
