I pity them. I see them as very unhappy, suffering people. Such people generally don't love themselves. They criticize themselves harshly and feel like sh!t inside. I'm sorry for them that they suffer so much. At the same time I don't want to be around them and don't trust them of course. They're too negative, that's unhealty. And if they talk bad about other people behind their back in front of me, what are they saying about me in front of my back?
My supposition is based on the fact that when I feel like talking bad about others, it's because I feel bad about myself in some way. Is that true for you too, Charlottecharade? If that's the case, maybe the first step would be to be really nice, accepting, loving and loyal to yourself. Then you'll be nice, accepting, loving and loyal to others automatically.
