We need some friends in our life,because as the saying goes " no man is an island".But sometimes the one we thought to be by our side for better or worse turn to be our greatest foe in our life.
We must love our friend so much,but don't tell her/him that much,because when a friend become a foe the whole world will know everything about you. What about you,do you tell everything to your friend? I will be happy if you share something here.
Happy mylotting!

We all have a few secrets that will go with us to the grave. There is no charm in opening up lock, stock and barrel. One should create a kind of curiosity about oneself even when it comes to friends and keep them guessing!

Hi kyle this is true we need someone to share our feelings but to some extent.We should understand first what should we tell to our friends & what not.I have seen many people who shares every small things with friends & repent for it afterwards.Therefore we must always remain concious while sharing things that some thing we should keep within us & should not share with anyone.

I don't let anyone know everything about me. My mother and husband don't know everything about me. I like it that way.

@missliss: Perhaps you should put your mother in your trust list, although you like it that way...
Mother is the best friend you can find in the whole world...She would be the most neutral person in the world when it comes to about you...Telling her some secrets you don't share with others can be helpful, because secrets are tend to be told and shared, yet most people fail to choose the right person to share it with...
Put your mother in your BFF list - it won't hurt...

Depends on who they are, as I can share somethings with certain ones while I can share other things with other friends. There is only one person who knows every single aspect of my life and that is my boyfriend.
We have total communication and he has the listening aspect in total when it comes to me. We share pretty much every detail of our lives to one another.

My friends don't know everything about me. You shouldn't tell your friends everything about you.

@trina89: Indeed you should, my friend...I would say that telling everyone everything about you is a recipe for disaster, and for that very reason you should be cautious every time even towards your very best friend...I believe most of us watched a movie or two about friends betrayal...Not to promote hatred between any of us, but to make sure that you don't regret in the future...
Everything in this world is finite, and trust should be one in that list...

@kyle0329: Glad you agreed with me...Just some extra precautionary actions to prevent any unnnecessary and unwanted incidents to happen in the future...

Your completly right, its not until you have befriended someone do you really let your gaurd down and place trust in a person, its then when you see who your true friends are and they are few and far between and not as many as there appear to be. I think we should all be cautious of the people we have in our lives and around our family, its sad to say this day and age we should trust alot less in people as society is getting worse.

That is true, we should not tell everything to our friends much more our darkest secrets because time will come that it will come out in the open. Even if how trustworthy you think they are, time will come that they will expose your secrets to others. You mus give reservation for your privacy.

I actually keep most of my life to myself. My friends don't know much about except the basic things...like my favorite food, color, places...I don't like sharing much things because I feel like people judge all the time; I guess this has to do with some of my past experiences. Anyways hopefully I'll find a friend who I feel like I can trust with anything.

I will not let my friends know everything about me. Everybody needs some privacy to themselves, before they feel totally naked and vulnerable to someone who knows us better than we do. The feeling isn't quite right and i won't feel good. Furthermore, even though we need friends but how many of them really actually listen and absorb? If they are just there for the sake of being there, i don't see why i should let them into my world.

There are friends that they are just there when they need you,but during worse times you cannot locate them.Beware of those people,because they are the once that will ruin your life.Privacy also will be applied so that in the end we can prevent the worse thing that will happen.

@kyle0329: I think everything in this world should have a limit, whether it is quantifiable or not, and the same goes here for our trust...
As for me, I don't take my friends for granted...Even my best friends don't know many things about me, not because I don't trust them, but because I think we should be moderate in all aspects of life...Let them know things about you, but not everything to spoil you at the end...
Know your friends close, but know your enemy-friends closer... Happy myLotting!

Of course not. I don't tell my friend everything even your parents or your own husband as well. We should always keep something too personal for our self.There are some things in our life that we doesn't want any person to know just for the sake of not losing their respect or we are just ashamed to tell the truth. Whatever it is, always keep something for yourself so won't be at the losing end if the time comes you become her enemy.

I don't think i am a friend that told my friend everything. I think everyone should have some secret in deep in their heart to make them looked mistery. Or else, you will be a "transparent people" like a glass in which people know everything about you.

Our Number one best friend on earth is our lifetime partner ( spouse) surely we will tell everything to them but for an ordinary friend, yes we all need a friend to share our sad and happy moments in life but not everything you can tell to them. Just limit yourself. You know sometimes when we have our problems and you don't have somebody to share your problems it's just like the whole world will cover you but when there is a friend by our side who we can trust and lean on, I am sure they can help us.
Based on my experience, I have 2 best friends since we are single until we got married and have kids of our own, still we were best friend. One of them, she share to me all her secrets, because she can lean on me and she trust me. I hope our friendship will last forever.

I don't. I keep to myself things that are sensitive and personal. It's not that I don't trust my friends, I just think that sensitive and personal info about yourself are meant to be kept solely by you. I think it's called privacy.

Yes friends are life and we should share most of the things with but before sharing we must have trust that the person with whom we are sharing the truth is a true person and not a fake and for me personally i tend to share most of the things but not everything.

To a friend, I do not say all things about me not because I do not want to but there are things are that should not be shared. I only give my darkest secrets to my sister. She is my helping hand and I know that she will always be there for me..
