Are you good at keeping secrets?

I guess I'm more of an extrovert. But i have many friends who are introverts, and they do trust me with their secrets. I guess I know a secret when one is told to me then i guard it and do not share it with others. that's the only way to keep friends.

I usually share my secrets to others before. But now I've learned my lessons and I do not share secrets anymore. Secrets are meant to be kept.

Nice topic. Well, it depends on what the secret is and how vital it is to be kept secret. I am not one who likes to blabber about certain things I did or I knew someone else did. I am the person others would come to if they needed to let out something that they didn't want anyone else to know. I don't think it would be much of a secret if too many people knew about it, therefore the only person that I would tell my deepest darkest secrets to (if any) would be my fiance because he is my best friend and I trust him with anything. Nonetheless, secrets are meant to be just that...secrets. Thanks for the topic. Be blessed and always positive.

My life is pretty much an open book, especially for my significant other. It's just that if it's not necessary or appropriate to talk about something, I don't bring up that topic. Secrets can be revealed in due time.

It really depends on the secret I guess. If it's something serious then I'll probably tell some close friends. Otherwise, I'll generally keep it to myself.

Yep I would like to say I am good at keeping secrets. If the person asks me not to tell anyone I wont... I have a few friends that will say I can tell my husband but no one else... and I respect that :) I am just happy that they feel that they can share their secrets with me.

Since I hate gossip, the secrets are intact within me. So the friends always admire me for it and they have utmost confidence in me. But it is difficult to pretent that I know nothing when it comes to family matters, but still I would like to hear from the horse's mouth.

A plus rating for another great discussion topic! I am not quite sure what you mean but I am getting two different meanings from this question so I will answer them both. 1. If I have done something that I really should not have done (such as ordered more things online than necessary - and I do this quite often), I will keep this a secret. The bad thing about it is that I am not good at this because it is just the same to me as lying by omission, so in the end, I always wind up confessing the truth as to where the money went. If I have thrown away something of someone else's that is totally disgusting and really needed thrown away and they will never in a million years begin to miss it - I will keep that secret until the end of time and never tell a soul about it. 2. If someone entrusts me with a secret, I would never betray them and tell someone else. I might be tempted, but I would not tell. I would think of how it would feel if I told them something and they would betray me. ~Donna

I am the type that can keep a secret. And I have tons of them roaming inside my head as people have a tendency to confide in me....maybe because they know what they tell me stay with me!

Hello dear subhal. I think that I am very good at keeping secrets, especially secrets of my friends, who trust me telling me what is in their mind. One of my friends says to me that I am just a tightly-shut bottle. I am glad to have won their trust because of my keeping secrets and won't getting them spread around. Thanks for your discussion, dear friend.

Are you asking if a secret being told to keep it as is and not meant to be divulged to any person or your own secret? I am good at keeping my own secret to myself and friends secret mentioned to me kept 50%.I'd say this because if necessity entails revealing to the open is because of my caring to my close friends when I asked advice from such situation as a collective advice so in turn I can help him/her.Although situation revealed but not totally as I don't divulge the name of the person but only the situation to others. On the contrary, if it is my hubby whom I will tell, there is no aspect of such that is not revealed.As after all partners should never keep any secrets.

Well, I am not that good at it, since I suppose there won't be any sercret once it has been told. And it is secret that makes the distance sometimes. Though each of us should still have his/her own secret, which he/she might not want the other to know about it. Andy

Hi subha12, Secrets are to be kept secret only. If a person is telling to you something means, he knows that you will not tell to anybody. I am naturally a person of keeping things that are to be kept. That is why people call me " asilent person". Even in my profession after getting appraisals, I am the person to put increments.People working under me and who are close to me will ask what is the amount I have put for them.I will not reveal. Good Luck.

i am a reserved type of a guy but i dont like to keep secrets from friends

Secret is a secret, once it is revealed to others except thyself it is no more a secret. Secret will remain as secret as long as one keeps it in the own heart. I certainly maintain the secrets within myself, if it is harmful to others.

Wherever and whenever required, I do not disclose secrets told to me by anybody. I try to keep the secrets with me...otherwise they won't remains secrets. If someone tells me his secrets, I assure him that it will remain with me only....I do not want to break anybody's faith on me. I believe, nothing can be worse than breaking one's faith.

Hey Subha12! My traits are very similar to yours given that I am an introvert as well and like to keep myself to myself. But I would just like to disagree with you a bit here! You see keeping secrets has very little to do with your nature. If someone is introvert it means that he/she doesn't like to share details with others, and those details may well be trivial. Secrets, in a proper sense, are significant snippets of data. Even an extrovert can keep secrets. They can go on sharing almost anything other than the secret, and there, he would be keeping the secret quite as well as you/me. If a secret is worth keeping then anybody can keep it. Introverts hoard personal details from others, not secrets, technically.

I good at keeping secrets, but to my boyfriend, I tend to spill out everything, so sometimes it turns into, like, gossip but to my boyfriend only.
