Gossip is intoxicating. It makes me feel like I know stuff, that I'm valuable, that I'm trustworthy. Even though when you pass along information to others, that's not trustworthy, is it?
Ever caught yourself in the middle of a juicy piece of gossip and wondered why you do it? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. dives into the murky waters of character defects, particularly focusing on our penchant for gossip and character assassination. With his trademark humor and candidness, Nelson shares how a recent meeting on Step Six made him reflect on his own habits and behaviors.
He found himself nodding along to the list of character defects, recognizing his own tendencies in the words written 75 years ago. But what really struck him was the section on gossip. Why do we feel the need to share tidbits about others, even if it's not mean-spirited? Nelson doesn't shy away from admitting his own struggles with this, often using gossip as a way to be the center of attention.
He recounts moments where he's caught himself spreading news about someone else, not out of malice, but out of a desire to be interesting. This episode isn't just about pointing out flaws; it's about understanding them and striving for genuine personal growth. Nelson's reflections are both humorous and thought-provoking, offering listeners a chance to look at their own behaviors with a bit more self-awareness.
