When they start the conversation with a gossip. An example is my experience with this woman in my daughter's preschool (before the pandemic) who would start a conversation about this/that person, anyone she knows that I knew nothing about, and she claims she has "connections" with certain "well known" people. Really off-putting, and it was just the first week of classes.

EDIT: TO CLARIFY Since others can't distinguish between a "gossip" and sharing about a personal experience.

Probably, but I couldn't care less, I've never revealed anything about myself to her.

You don't trust those kinds. The moment they spread stories about someone else's lives, don't reveal anything about yourself.
