Boundary #13: I Do Not Engage in Gossip or Petty Drama.

If someone starts gossiping or dragging me into trivial drama, I remove myself from the discussion.

By not participating, I also signal that people can’t bond with me over tearing others down, which discourages them from even trying around me.
