Well to be honest, not many people confide in me with their secrets except for those very close to me like my sister and maybe 3-4 close friends.
I think when people see me, and they can tell I'm a talkative person, they might think that I am not a very good secret keeper. But I don't expect them to either. After all, you really need to be able to trust that person you tell, right? I get nervous when somebody I have just gotten to know tells me their personal stories and secrets. Because to me, if they can tell me (someone they just met, how many others do they tell?)
But so far, I have kept my friend's secrets close and dear to me.. If that's what they wish for me to do, then that's the least I can do for them. I do not discuss their problems/personal stories with other people.
As long as my close friends know that, then it's alright with me. If other people think I'm not a good secret keeper because I'm too friendly or talkative, then that's entirely up to them.. But i would never ask and beg them to share their secrets with me. :)

I think I'm a relatively good keeper of secrets. I've kept secrets of my friends for so long that I've already forgotten some of them so that's less danger of me blurting it out lol! :) We have this group of friends, there are 9 of us. We call it a "barkada" in our language, some may call it a clique. It's like in Friends, you know, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, and Joey. But we're all girls. If they tell me to shut up about it, I shut my mouth tight. If they don't say anything, then it's up to me to distinguish between share-able stories and ones that can't be shared. Like one of them told me she's got a new boyfriend. That's share-able because she'll eventually tell everyone else. But some other things that I feel like she's not that comfortable sharing, so even if she doesn't tell me to keep it quiet, I keep it to myself.

I am a good secret keeper. I like to share my secrets with my good friends, too. When others tell me their secrets, they regard me as a trustworthy person. And I can't let them down to tell their secrets everywhere.

I think i am. I keep secrets of my friends and i don't remember anything that i shared those secrets with others. For me,it's sacred whatever secret it is. And it also reflects our character and how much they can trusts us.

Yes, I am a good secret keeper. No matter who tells me something, and add this: "Don't tell it to anybody"... Then, the secret is very well kept by me. I don't tell to anyone, and I make sure I don't let anything escapes from my mouth. However, there are some people who likes pressuring us, and teasing us... I just ignore those and keep the secret as if I was keeping my own life.

I can keep a secret. Sometimes I might end up forgetting about it. I wouldn't tell anyone about whatever the secret is exactly. If it slips out, it's usually by accident. But I am pretty good about keeping secrets.

Hello angela2006,I am also a good keeper of secrets. People are drawn to me. Even the people I don't really know tells me their deepest secret. Sometimes people I just met and in the conversation, starts telling me the issues in their lives. I let them talk. I just listen and when asked for my opinion, I encourage them to do the positive thing regardless if the secret is good or bad. The bottom line is I keep it to myself. That's what we are supposed to do.
I am glad that one of your gift is a good keeper of secrets. I hope that others will develope that, it keeps more peace.
