Someone ever confided in you with a secret that you thought to yourself you would never share with anyone if you were in their shoes? These same people will be the first to argue with everyone about being in their “business” after they are the ones who confided in “everyone.” Learn to keep private matters just that, private! If you aren’t speaking with a trained mental health professional about your situation, one who took an oath to keep your secret a secret, than you are speaking publicly about your “secret.” No one is obliged to hold your secret, especially not your friends and family. Secrets are kept as long as you and the other person are on good terms. And in most cases, even when you are on good terms, people will discuss your life because it is more interesting than theirs. So the next time you want to share a secret, perhaps you should just write it in a journal and keep it hidden. This way you don’t have to embarrass yourself trying to remember who all you told, because no one ever really confesses to stabbing you in the back!
