We all have friends.Some just casual ones,while some very close ones.I remember in school we hardly kept any secrets.But as we grew up,our friendships grew deeper too and in came a few secrets.Secrets meant to be kept just between best friends. Have you ever disclosed someone's secret? Has anyone disclosed your secret and shattered your trust? Are you the trusted one? Do people share their secrets with you?

I am great at keeping secrets. Not into gossip and don't like to share someone else's personal information. I don't want it done to me so I always keep this in mind when a friend shares information with me. I can meet someone in any social situation and will end up hearing their whole life story. Guess I have this innocent, trusting face. I find it to be a compliment. Part of the beauty of aging is to listen and forget. It can be easily done..lol

I'm a great secrets keeper, I don't say that to complain my self , but it does , people trust me as I trust them , and no body shatters the other , because being on friendship , specially a deeper one ,depends defintly on being able to keep words and secrets , if we look at the disclosing problem from all its sides , it brings damaged for the both of people , the secret owner and the secretteller ,so why doing like that ? beside ,people hate being exposed in front of the world , specially when it concerns privat life ,because it is a very sensible line , people hate too who do this stuffs: snitches ,there are refuesed by the whole community .

You have mentioned the right reasons why a secret should be respected.The one who keeps other's secrets a secret is respected in the friends circle.

I'm very good at keeping secrets. I don't spill it. I think that if a person trusts you in such a way that they share with you their secrets then it's something that you have to live up to. Keep it a secret. They trusted me so I don't want to break that trust. It's so hard to find a trusting friend nowadays and if you do find one treasure them. I used to have a friend who spilled out my secret and took my boyfriend away from me so yes someone has shattered my trust. Nonetheless, I still forgave her but we're not that really close anymore.

Hello Daffodil. I think that I am good at keeping my friends' secret without letting it out. My friends trust me and tell me about their secrets. I think that a good friend to his friends is supposed to be able to keep it secret in whatever case it is unless it is let out by his friend himself.

I can say I am great at it. When someone says its a secret it would remain a secret for me. Sometimes, I forget it already. I never reveal any secrets not until everyone knew about it. That was why my friends likes to tell their secrets to me. I value the trust given of my friends to me. I don't want to break it.
