What do we call someone who does not like to gossip?
What is the one-word description of someone who avoids gossips(listening and spreading as well)? Specifically, not a recluse, but a sincere and practical person who believes in realistic-facts and not dramatic, sensational but trivial stories.
Solution 1:
There are several candidates. Here are four:
Reserved = Reserved people do not often talk about or show their feelings or thoughts:
Cambridge
Reserved = restrained in words and actions
Merriam Webster
Reticent = unwilling to speak about your thoughts or feelings
Cambridge
Taciturn = tending not to speak much:
Cambridge
Restrained = acting in a calm and controlled way
Cambridge
Of these, I would normally use reserved because it seems to include the qualities of the other three. A reserved person may be taciturn, restrained, reticent, or any combination of the three.
Solution 2:
who believes in realistic-facts and not dramatic, sensational but trivial stories
grounded might fit here:
—used to describe a person who is sensible and has a good understanding of what is really important in life (Merriam-Webster)
