If I have to rudimentarily compare the nature of people to that of subatomic particles, I will say that people could be like protons, neutrons and electrons. Some like neutrons, do not get attracted by magnetic fields of gossip and remain stable. The ones like protons would only receive information and observe it all while still in the loop. Whereas there are others who are always charged up like electrons and ready to jump at the slightest hint of magnetic gossip fields. They make and break bonds with others like them (other electrons) depending on the nature of the gossip. They even generate magnetic gossip fields, simply by moving here and there with their idle chit-chat/dirt/misinformation/scandals, etc.
