I have always had an inquisitive mind. When I get bits of information about anything, I like to know and understand the whole of it. And it can be anything, I'm not just talking about gossipy people news.
However...sometimes it is about people. I don't pry nor do I ask invasive questions just to be in the know, and if someone tells me anything...even if they don't specify it's confidential, I keep information to myself...it's not my news to tell. I'm not a gossip and I keep secrets.
Here's the thing though. There has been some drama in a circle of people that I associate with. These people could up and walk out of my life forever and it wouldn't bother me in the least. They are nice and fun to be with but they are only friendly acquaintances for the purpose of our shared interest. In general, I don't care what they do in their own lives but over the last several weeks I've heard random little tidbits and comments and witnessed......weird? inappropriate?...IDK, behavior and none if it makes sense.
I really don't give a rats patooty about getting involved, I try to avoid drama and I like to stay neutral. I'm still just as friendly with all parties involved. If it's not something that affects me, I usually don't care....but it's driving me crazy that none of it makes sense!!!! I just need to understand what's going on so I can stop thinking about it.
So that leads me to the title....at what point does needing to understand something become being nosey?
Are you nosey or just inquisitive?
