Do you always share your secret? Is your secret always safe to a friend? How do you know the friend can be trusted? I have this highschool classmate before and she was the one I trusted. I told her about my secret and she promised not to tell anyone. She really did a good job. Until now, were still good friends and those secrets I always whispered to her is always safe :) was there secret of yours revealed? And how did it happen?

sharing one's secret with a trusted one could also help lighten a heavy feeling and possibly generate some solution if this relates to a problem.

No, my secrets stay with me till I die. If I share it to even one person, I just don't consider it as a secret anymore... I only trust God completely; no one else, not even myself...

Wow, you are so blessed to have such a trusted friend. I regretted telling my secrets even to my own sister. I told her not to tell anyone, but she just tell it out. When I confronted her, she said it is as a testimonial for the benefits of others. If this is the case, she should ask my permission first. Because of this, my husband do not trust me any more and always quote on that incident. From there on I never tell her anything that I think should be kept as a secret!

It is really good to have good friends or relatives you can share secrets with AkamaruKei. Keeping your secrets to yourself is also an option xiuxiusuer. People have complete freedom to choose what to do with their own secrets :)

Dear Lizel 25 From your discussion I came across with the information that you shared every secret with your best friend an she has maintained promise and not disclosed your secret. But, do you think that what she thinks about you though she has not expressed it. I would suggest that there are some secret of every human which are not to be secret with any one. Because it may affect your relations. etc. Therefore, secrets are not to be disclosed to ant one whosoever he/she may be.

People have different views on what a secret is. It is really up to each individual to decide what is okay and not okay to be disclosed.

This is true that one can share any secret with a true friend.A true friend always knows your deepest weaknesses and yet will never take advanatage of you.You need to develop trust and mutual understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other.Sharing secrets with friend is not just fun,but it also helps to develop a lasting trust on one another.Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person.You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them.

We all need such true friends indeed. They are friends who we can share our ups and downs with. Especially when we are down and need good advice, they are usually the ones we can rely upon.

i don't want anyone to know anything about me that i don't want others to know. i am a private person. even if people are my friends, i just don't trust anyone. it is good to use discretion in who you want your secrets told. i would be careful.

It is true that you should choose who to tell your secrets to, because there are some bad people misusing personal information to do bad things.

There's one person I share my every thoughts, feelings & secrets with, my girlfriend... There are 2 other friends I have that I share a lot with but not as much as I do with my girl-friend...

It is good to have one person or more that you can really share things with sk66rc. By sharing and discussing things over problems are often solved and stress can be greatly minimized.

Hi liezel, i only share secrets that are not so important and other than that i keep all the important secret to myself, like this i feel very incontroll. You are lucky to have a sincere and loyal friend like that. When i need to tell a secret i will only talk to my cat and he just look at me and say nothing

One thing that a sincere and loyal friend does is becoming a good listener. Often that's just what we need, and that's exactly our pets' specialty :)

People need to share things with each other to live. That would include secrets. Keeping things only to yourself, especially bad ones, would eventually hurt you physically or mentally or both.

Things that can be told is not called as 'secret'. Don simply share secret with friends unless he/she really can be trusted.=)

Some people say that you can trust your secret to those trusting you with theirs.

I only share it with my siblings. I'm not that comfortable sharing it with some of my friends. My secrets were all safe with my siblings and never had a problem. They are the ones that I truly trust with everything.

One friend of mine used to do what you do kunchong. He once said to me :"Secrets will lose their secretive values over time. You will finally see that there is no such thing as a secret. There were times when I could have done something to make things go well but I didn't because of things I considered as secrets then." I didn't ask for details.

There are lots of secrets which I do not share with anyone but there are some secrets I share with different people , like some with my boy friend, some with my best friend, some with mom etc. Because not all secrets are to be told to every one, some are for BF, some for best friend and some for family members and I do make distinction in that.

Some friends of mine do that too asweetie, and they are happy. That's what matters, I guess :)

Some secrets become a burden to us, others are easy to keep. The ones that become a burden are the ones we are tempted to off load, i.e. share, with someone else. When we tell our best friends our secrets we must hope that the friendship stays strong otherwise if our best friend turns into our enemy then we have only ourselves to blame if some of those secrets are spread around. Not all secrets are for sharing, if they concern other people they should not be shared, it is unfair to do this. We do not have the right to expose others and some secrets would hurt innocent people if they got out. People sometimes ask inappriate personal questions of their friends, but that does not mean that they are interested, it may just be curiousity. Better to say nothing than to say too much in these situations.

If you share something to other people, would that something still be called a secret? If that is so, I always do and lots of them too :)

My point is when one secret is told to others,it would not be the secret again.But I will also choose to tell my secrets to my best friends,because some secrets if you do not want to speak it out and try to keep it in heart,it would make you uncomfortable.So escaping this kind of feeling,we can only talk to some friends who we trust,right?
