For me, it was never a topic.\nFor others, it might..\nIt is again a very personal matter..\nBut honestly, what's so great about it?

People say things on the internet that they wouldn't ever say in real life.  Something about the anonymity (from both ends) allows you to make assumptions and express strong opinions you wouldn't be able to when face-to-face with people.

They have some guilty secret that they are afraid people will realize or they are lying their heads off on one topic or another while speaking. \n\nThe other possibility is that you have some spinach caught between your teeth or a new pimple on your nose and they are embarrassed to mention it to you.so they are avoiding that kind of mental closeness.

People are shy or unsure of themselves or both.  They are scared they will mess up and people will laugh at them or think badly of them.  Personally, I love speaking in public.  Then again, I'm very out-going and sure of myself.  I also have very strong opinions and do not mind expressing them in the least.

Because they have everything to hide! They do not like questions. They dont like to bothered with such little things as laws and nonsense like that.

For the way you asked the question, you shouldn't be talking about anything. What are you trying to ask?

it doesn't really matter what other people say - it is for their own entertainment and won't have a huge effect on your life if you don't let it. like another commenter said, if someone askes you then tell them the truth, but don't go out of your way to change what everyone thinks or people will just gossip more

Drunk people have loose lips, & have a habit of "spilling the beans", because they can't keep their mouth shut.\n\nWhen you want to pry info out of someone, get them drunk, & start talking about it.

great point....    this is something that bothers many of us...  if you don't  have an answer - skip it,  and if you  have nothing good to say- say nothing..   obviously   too much common sense for some people...lol...

It's taboo and secretive. It's an adult thing that the adults don't want you to know too much about. It's something that teens are starting to physically feel and want to know more about. And it doesn't help when their friends seems to know more or at least want to discuss it at length.

Because the are backstabbers,if you cannot say it to their face them don't at all.or they are jealous and need to grow up,but sometimes people talk about others in good ways.
