(secrets) can you keep one?

This is what am really best at! My friends trust me 100% for discussing any private issue and they are sure that the discussion will NOT LEAK OUT. I believe that if someone has a secret and if you are a part of that secret then that secret becomes your secret too.

yes i have keepen alot of ones and i dont know why they are doing like this me they are cheating me and i wanted know are they real friendship?

I have been told many secrets and neer told any one. but they usualy tell on themselves lol

IF someone tells me something and says that 'it is a great secret and that it is strictly between the two of us' then I do not reveal it.I am reminded of something that happened when I was in my teens when Iwas just out of high school and I think I was fifteen/ I had a friend who was married and she is a distant kind of relative too.She told me something about her inlaws and said that I should swear on God thatI would not reveal it to anybody. Now what did I do? I described whatever I ate at her place and all other insignificant chit chat to my mom and finally told her that I had a secret within me and as I had sworn on God that I would not reveal it I would never report that part of the conversation alone.Now my mother was very much intrigued and tried cajoling me[it was just some simple harmless idiotic gossip] .My mother told me that it was the habit of the other woman to swear other people to secrecy and that it was just her routine but she herself had not meant it to be a secret not to be revealed to my mom.But my friend had sworn me to secrecy and I had given my word-I said so and refusd to budge from my stance. Here follows the funny part.The same friend, when she met my mother later after a few days asked my mother'Auntie! Did Kala tell you that news?'.and narrated the whole episode to her.My mother explained my nature to her and said that I would not reveal a secret if my head were to be chopped off.Now I laugh at my naievety when I think of that woman's attitude and my innocence but fundamentally I have not changed. Even now, if someone tells me that something is just between the two of us then that is it.I would not reveal it to others.

Hi annjilena...I would keep the secrets. I never tell anything to anyone my friend confides in me. I think that's what makes for a true friend. If it was something terrible,I might try to convince my friend to confess herself but even if she didn't, I wouldn't breathe a word of it.

hi....... For me,for as long as secret,i will keep it,i'll just wait my friend for her to let somebody know about his/her condition or situation,because i dont wanna be blame and i respect my friend,im not saying that,im tolerating what she' doing. Its still up to her and i know that time will come that she will realize everything.No secrets will forever secrets..but i will not make actions to know everybody about the secret of my friend.

Secrets are meant to be kept secrets. if a friend of mine is cheating on his spouse I would advise him against it. Since it only leads to heartbreaks but I would not be the one to spill the beans.

wow.. this is not an easy question.. usually i will keep a secret, because i know that the person told me because he/she trust me. but if i find that the 'secret' is something that against the law / rule.. i would normally -advise - ask - force- the person to tell the truth.. or i will spill the secret. to me, if the secret is something that is personal, not hurting anyone else.. that i will keep my mouth shut.. but if it does involve the law, or it will hurt someone, or something that is just not right.. i dont think i cant keep it quite..

Yes, I could definitely keep a secret. I know of secrets of friends over 10years. I don't know, I don't find it particularly tasteful to tell secrets to others. I mean, there must be a reason why that friend entrusted you with her/his secrets, right? So, I don't really think about it, I just keep it to myself. It has always worked so far, many people trust me and they know that if the word goes out, it's not from me. As for being sick, if that's what she wants, and if she truly still wants that regardless my advices, then I would keep it a secret, that's who I am. Nice topic by the way.

I would and can keep good secrets, but secret which are normally bad such as the once you expalined is better to be told before it is too late. People might even threaten you after they tell you their secret, they might tell you that you and his or her frindhip is likely going to be over if we tell their secret to others. But bad tings are not to be kept as a secret. If such people do not leanr that bad things are bad then they are not worthy enough to be a person's friend. You can ask youself, do you want a friend who threaten you like that? Tell thet people about the secret if it is a bad one and you should not be afraid of loosing your friendhip as you don't need such a friendship. You should be proud of yourself that you were able to do the right thing by preventing people from getting into more bad situation.

Hi I certinly not tell to other as long as it is truthful and doesen't harm others and society . If it is harmful to society then defintely I will tell it to other.

Yes. i am the kind of person whom you can be trusted. I believe trust can be earned and it can be earned if you prove to people that whatever happens whatever has been said to you is just between the person who told you about it and yourself. I am not the type of person who squeal when told of any secrets.

I don't have a problem keeping secrets about friends but I can't keep a secret about myself. to my friends I'm an opened book.

Well I think I will keep it a secret, I don't like to tell other's secrets. Especially when it is regarding an illness, I wouldn't want people to know that I am ill, since I wouldn't like people who pity me all day. However If she tells me that she stole at work and the blame will falls on me, yes I will tell since it's will be not fair to lose a job for an injustice.

Keeping a secret and respecting the secrets of others, as opposed to prying into them, is a virtue related to self-discipline and sensitivity. Those who lack understanding cannot guard a secret, and those who do not care about the consequences of words and actions cannot be considered discreet

yes I can keep a secret and I have for years, however once or twice I almost blurted one out by mistake and had to think quickly to say something to cover it up but it was okay the secret was never found out.

I CAN KEEP A SECRET.... With regard to your questions, that will depend on the circumstances and the effect would be. I mean, I would consider things like, what if and what if not? Will I tell or not? When a friend told me she is cheating on her husband or bf, well i will keep that secret. I would tolerate that "sort of cheating". When my friend would tell me, she has been stealing from the job? OMG! I guess, I cannot tolerate that. What if she wold do that to me? Perhaps, I would make our coworkers be aware of keeping their/my things. But, at first I would never tell who stole things. I will make a suggestion that there has to be an investigation why things were gone. When my friend would tell me she is sick, I can keep it for a while perhaps. It really depends on the situation.

I'd just keep my pie hole shut but I'd have less and less contact with her till I was just too busy. I don't need people like that in my life, but to make trouble needlessly isn't going to gain me a ticket to heaven either.

Yes i will keep it as a secret what ever happens.She told me a such secret means that she trusts me.Even if she is cheating her husband, stealing from the job it doesn't matter me the only thing what i care about is that she believes me. So its my job to keep her believe true.

even if i don't agree with what she was doing yes i keep her secret but i'll give her my idea too.
