I have many friends and most of them trust their secrets with me. This is because I don't tell anyone and I can keep them for myself. But there are some people that can't keep a secret from others! They either say it because they forget that they are not supposed to say it or because they need to tell someone! Do you keep secrets or you like to dicuss things with others? I think I belong to the first category regarding other people's secrets that I know, although I like discussing my own secrets with most of my friends!

Hi friend, good to hear that your friends share their secrets with you, it shows that they have lot of trust with you and you are a good friend, some of my friends shared their secrets with me and i never share it with others. I am not interested in sharing my secrets with others

Personally, when I talk with my friends about my secrets I feel kind of relieved! They can give me good advice and sometimes I am hearing views that I hadn't thought about. We have mutual trust and I will always keep their secrets, even if we aren't so close in the future!

Hei friend I think i too belong to the first category regarding other people's secrets known to me. I like discussing my own secrets with some of my reliable friends. It's because I'm sure that they can keep secrets. By discussing my problems with them I have got real good solutions for them. They too chat about their problems with me. They are sure that I can keep secrets .

I have a friend that does keep the secrets that I might tell her in confidence. But keeping a secret means that she can say it to her sister and mother! So she might not say it to anyone else but her family will know about my secret! I hadn't realised that she does that until recently, because I heard something from her sister that I had told only to her. I don't know how to tell her that I don't want her family to know about me, so I'll probably stop saying important things to her! It's nice to see that people here also keep the secrets for themselves! Thanks for your response!!

Of course they do because I have a very small number of friends lol and I don't talk to a lot of people so there isn't a very good chance that their secret will be told to anyone else. Nowadays, people hardly share their secrets and most of anyone secrets can be found on their phone. I don't let ANYONE use my phone, unless I can be right there watching them dial! But seriously, there are very few secrets I get told and if its really secretive to them and they have the trust to confide in me, I will surely keep it private and close to myself.

Phones can definitely reveal many things about us and about others! From time to time I erase all the messages from my phone because you never know what may happen! It sounds great that your friends can trust you, this means that you have a real and strong friendship. You know what they say, the fewer the better! :) Have a nice day!
