"if a conversation is about someone who isn't present, it's not appropriate" (1 Viewer)

this statement confuses me bc I don't think it's always true... you can have a positive conversation about someone who isn't present... like if you were throwing a surprise party or if said person was y'all's favorite music artist. Let's discuss!

Agreed. There are definitely cases where it’s fine

I understand that statement in the context of shit talking, but if there is a serious issue or a surprise party like you mentioned, sometimes it is okay to talk about someone without their knowledge

I'm bored at work. And tired. I want to go home and play with my dog.

figured as much lol but if that wasn't me in middle and high school... I just wanted to be done with everything and go home and procrastinate my homework

whatever they don't know won't hurt them

there's never black nor white

context matters - ie. what is the topic of conversation about? what is one saying or not saying about someone else
