Is there someone you are afraid of talking with ?
There is an old classmate who is L. When we were students in the middle school, we used to talk much. She is more talkative than me. As many years passed away, she didn't change a lot. Now, I’m kind of afraid to meet her because her talk doesn’t interest me at all and she just likes to express herself, no matter what you like or dislike.
After talking with her, I realize that her talk is usually related to private lives of our old classmates.And most of the things are heard of by her.
Several days ago, she called up me and asked :“ were you invited to take part in our classmate meeting?”
“How many people invited you? And did you go there?”
When I didn’t have time to answer her question yet, she said happily:“There are several people inviting me. They called up me several times by wet chat but I were tied up with my thing. Were you pregnant? You were not young … ”
Smiling, I replied：“wow, you are so popular with our classmates.”
Then, she continued to remark classmates appearing the photos of wet chat.
“hey, do you know D who is so picky. After divorcing, she doesn’t have a partner to live with…”
“I see Z seems to be there, too. Do you contact with her? Now she is still dressing like a student. Compared with us, she is not fashionable… ”
“You know H used to be your neighbor and he asked me to go the party, too. And his wife is quite beautiful …”
Once she opened her mouth, she could talk and talk for a long time. But I had to say that I couldn’t stand such a talk, so I found an excuse to make her stop. Actually I’m willing to recall the old school days, but I’m uninterested in gossiping their privates. Everyone has their own lives and privates. Such topics can’t interest me. If you are the one who are into talking about the bad things of others, you are doomed to be the one who are discussed by others.
So you can imagine when I meet her, how much I really want to avoid her.
As time goes by, we are living in different circles. It’s hard to jump out of your circle to accept others from the other group. There is nothing wrong with us. But I can’t find the feeling that we can talk a lot with freedom.

- Usually, we meet such kind of a person like that. And there are some ones do exist around us. I also do not like to talk with them about those things of others.
She is the gossip, apart from that, you are never in the same social circle again. What you have is the time you spent at school before. Now you are living in different groups.
Nowadays, it is hard to organize the homecoming. As the time goes, it is getting harder and harder, since most of us changed, and we enter into different fields with different incoming and social status. The bad is that most of us there are showing off their so called success, which is the thing makes me disgusted. The initial purpose of classmates reunion is to sit together and talked of something that we had been going through and some good expectation of the future. Not just for talking of gossips in the mid of some other's private life.
My choice is to spend some time and have a party with few of close schoolmates at some time. We feel good and share and talk, needn't to brag and show off. Feel easy to have dinner together. Anyway, we have fun. That is the kind of meet I like.

- We are all living in a competitive society. Everyone wish to make the most and have the best status among friends and society. Relationships are not simple and innocent anymore. People go into personal relationships without properly thought and due consideration. A lot of couples get married after a short and brief romance without properly understanding each other. The end result is separation or divorce.
Your friend need to keep her influence and popularity by involving in gossips. This is living on falsehood which would result in friends being avoiding her.
We all love to sit together ad talk about our younger days or know about the recent situations of our old friends, not to hear gossipy things. Since she is your old friend, all you can do is to maintain the friendship with her and find a way to filter our her gossiping.
