About This Quote

When someone is talking about you behind your back, the worst thing that can happen is for you to find out. Most people have trouble controlling their emotions in these situations because they are simply too excited about what’s being said. So they don’t think it through and often spread it around like wildfire. This is true of gossip, but also applies to rumors. It’s not always easy to put rumors to rest once they start circulating but it’s something you should try to do.
