why do we feel good just before we tell gossip??

There is a pleasure associated with knowing something that others don't. Sort of makes one feel superior. It is a terribly hard habit to break,  but once you do, you will feel better. (I keep trying).

Because they feel alone. We have been told over and over that we are not good enough. The anonymity provided by the Internet and chat lines makes us feel safe enough to talk to strangers. It make us feel good.

=people like to gossip and spread rumours about others either too boost their self-esteem or to be funny.  Truth is either way does it matter?  you either like hm or you don't.

You answered your own question. and the reason why you did this is because you want attention and gratitude n the sense of feeling important and empowering. I hope it worked.

I guess it's because when something good happens, and since everyone is taught to share the wealth, or the good, that you want to share the good news of your happiness and bliss with the other person with everyone else you know.  I think it also gives some people hope that they'll someday be just as happy,too.

Yes; probably because it feels nice to have someone to talk to, someone like a 'friend'. Don't worry, enjoy! :)

It is very human to need to feel better than in order to feel equal to. In other words, we subconsciously want to forget our own flaws and by noticing or imagining other people's flaws it makes us feel that we are better than them and o.k. about ourselves. So no, not in this life. But Jesus said that the meek will inherit the earth, so someday in his kingdom, things will be different.

Literally I think it means to excuse or to pardon ones mistake, but this was no mistake and you have every right to feel the way you do. Some people say they do it because it helps them to accept what happened, releases their anger and allows them to focus on healing. Others I think are more self serving in that they want to seem the better person in appearances and receive the praise that accompanies it all the while still harboring their grief and anger. The thing is that there is no right or wrong way to feel in these situations, but in time you do have to learn how to cope with it. You can't forget about it because it did happen and you are not required to forgive, but you can not let it be all consuming and ruin your happiness and peace of mind. Take Care and Be Happy.

many people are not happy with themselves so they feel better by talking bad about others...

Probably because you are not exactly happy where you are at in your life now. Things outside of you connot truly make you feel better, you should spend some time each day, even if it is just for a few minutes to allow yourself to think. Whenever I'm not feeling quite right ( whatever that is ) it is usually some unresolved issue that I've been avoiding!

Think about it for a minute.......and you will realize......it wan`t worth thinking about.\n\nSarcasm usually makes people smile and feel better.

It's an awesome feeling to be aware of what is happening to you isn't it.. Try applying this to your everyday life..\nGod is Great.

People gossip about others when they are feeling insecure about themselves and feel that they have to "belong" and to acheive that, they need to make up things about people who they think are perfect. As soon as you become one person's target, those others who are also insecure would also use you as a target, though not realising how stupid they all aare. Don't be upset because of what people say, because as long as you know that in you heart you didn't do it, then you are innocent.

its kinda interesting seeing what other ppl write. its also natural of humans to try to find validation and importance of their existence or somethin like that so when ppl answer, it makes them feel good.

Excellent point.  I guess we all want confirmation and support even if it's wrong because we always feel better in a crowd that believes the same as we do.  That's why as good answer-ers we need to be honest in most cases.  Our honesty may hurt at first, but we may really help someone in the long run.  MY OPINION good question!
