I don't think I am more than anyone else, but maybe I am. Sometimes I get carried away and tell people stuff I shouldn't, and I think it's related to SA. Having gossip--having "insider information"--means, well, that you're an insider, inside the circle, part of the group. Not alone. It's like proof that you're not a social outcast.
I just now once again repeated something I shouldn't have. Not all of it or even anything specific; just the gist of it (C told me something that happened with B, and I said that "B has been complaining about that to me."). I guess I shouldn't have said anything but...the same people who accuse me of not being able to keep my mouth shut are also gossiping to me and each other all the time. I feel like there's some difference in their gossiping behavior from mine that I must just not be getting--probably because I'm a loser who doesn't get all the rules of socializing. It's like I'm trying to observe the rules of socializing and copy them, but I'm just not quite getting it right.
