What would you do if your secret's out in the open?

The most important thing a person can do is face the truth of one's life. That doesn't mean one has to share everything with everyone. That is to be boundaryless and leads to all sorts of other problems. Have you ever met someone who within minutes is telling you every sordid deatail of their life? It can get in the way of people seeing a person for who they are in lieu of the details of their life. One must use discretion and boundaries in deciding who to tell whom what. But make no mistake about it, one only suffers if he/she isn't honest with themselves.

You don't specify what the secret is and I don't want to know but, I guess how it would be handled would depend on that. Denying It would probably do no good. If it is something you are sorry for or need to make amends to then that would be the place to start. Take responsibilty for it then try to set things right. Something like who you are the descendant of is beyond your control so no shame in that.

I think keeping secrets were the habits I had given up during school days. In colege and when in job, I am known as frank person, never kept any secrets.

The question has led me to ponder what secrets I have that could destroy my name and that where I kept them *LOL*. Seriously, if ever a secret of mine is out in the open and everyone who I know would know about, then I can't do anything but to accept. Yeah simple as it may seem, it's the hardest thing to do ever. Maybe if it's possible for me to transfer location or lay-low for a while, then I would do so. And keep praying that sooner or later a new-found secret would be found pointing to another person so that my secret would be forgotten. Well, I don't think we can do anything about it anyways. Maybe for now, we should always thing to be extra careful of what we do, plus, try our best to let the people important in our lives know about it so that they wouldn't have to hear it first to other people. =) What would you do Ricko? By the way, what's your little secret? hahahha

well i think i have no choice then.i will just admit it. but before that maybe i will just stay at home temporarily and think what should i do or say.when it's ab out the time, i will go out and telling the whole world the truth. I will be very embarrassed and feel that the whole world will swallow me. but by the time people will forget it and act normally like nothing happen. Well i must learn something from it to be more careful to tell my biggest secret to anyone

if that big secret out in open.. i just accept it and make no comment what ever people want to say about that let them.. i will deny that and i will confirm that i just shut the mouth and make like nothing happen but if the thing getting worse.. i have to step up and explain everything and try the best to make it normal again.. if i can't make it maybe it time for me to move on.. :D

well, I definitely don't have the kind of secret like I am related to Hitler or anything like that, but I do have one or two skeletons in my closet that I would not like anyone to know about. The way I look at it is, if its something that you have no control over and was never your fault - such as a close relation is a rapist or murdered, its embarassing and horrible but ultimately its not your fault so you have nothing to be ashamed of really, even though its hard to feel that way sometimes. But if its something in your past that you did such as rape or murder, its something you have to live with. You should make amends as much as you can, take your punishment whatever it might be and not put yourself in a position where you might do the same thing again. We all have backgrounds and pasts, every one of us, so we all have secrets. Some secrets can be kept but not all!

It depends upon what the secret is and what kind of ramifications it would have. I would not want something that would hurt everyone around me to get out. In that case, I think it would be better to let it be than to let it get out in the open. Sometimes things are better left unsaid.

What will I do if my secrets came out into the open, would be nothing but accept it. I would take responsibility for my actions and try my hardest to once again put it all behind me. I do have secrets I don’t think anyone in this world hasn’t one but I don’t know, I wouldn’t necessarily call it a secret because it has been out in the open once before but I worked my butt off to make it disappear within a short while….lol.. Nonetheless, if it were to come out again, I would not deny it! Instead embrace it and hope that the smirks, comments, back stabbing gossip and shock would pass as soon as possible. But no, I would not deny it!

I don't have any huge secrets that could cost me my job or anything. I do have one that could cause a bit if trouble if it were to come out. I would just deal with it. Once its out that's the best way to go. denying it would cause the gossip and speculations to go on longer.

Honestly, I would probably want to crawl into a whole and die..I do have secrets and would most likely go clinically insane if they were spilled.I just think it's awfully barbaric for the media to exploit some celebrities the way they do, but then again some of them probably deserve it and that's where karma comes in to play.

I once use to work in a military store as an employee two years ago. All of my secrets were exposed, which caused me to lose my job after working there for three years. I was not a patron but a single civilian who lived near a military base. I now live in an apartment several miles far from the base. The only way I could hide my secrets is to keep it to myself.

well, my delicate secrets come to an open there's nothing you can do. it is open & you can never hold it back. the rest thing you can do is accept or deny it.
