Sharing secrete with friends is fine?

There are times when we feel that keeping something to ourselves is really a burden that is why we tend to share whatever it is we feel or experience, and the usual person we do this with is our friends, or our best friend. However, there are things that are better left secret, these are secrets which would be brought to the grave as they put it, probably because of it's extreme sensitivity in nature or for whatever reason, while some are just better left unsaid and unknown to the rest. Of course, I speak from experience, knowing that there are definitely things I would never tell a soul.

A secret is not a secret anymore once you tell someone. And you are right - what if your good friend has another good friend? They may tell their friend who may not be a good friend to you. That person won't care if they tell someone. Or that person may have a good friend and might tell them. That's how gossip starts sometimes. Be careful what you tell your friends. Think hard about it before you decide to tell anyone anything that is your own secret. If you're young you may not always have the friends you have now. Sometimes friends grow in different directions, different interests and making other new friends. You grow apart and go on with your lives. But sometimes friends remember things they were told in confidence and tell other people later on because you are not in each other's social circle anymore. They don't necessarily do it to be mean or sneaky. Time passes and they don't think anything of telling people things from 3-4 years ago.

it depends on the closeness between those two friends. and the situations mainly caused on them.

I think it depends on how comfortable you are with your friends. And how far you trust that friend of yours. :)

If you do really want to make sth a secret, never tell anyone including your closest friends and family. A secret disappered when it's told out. In other words, you ough to take it easy when you make a decision to share the secrets.

I don't share my secrets with my friends, not even what I did belong daily life because many of them aren't friends, they are fake friends. I think that my girl is the only one who should know my secrets and my incidences. She don't talk because we are in love and that thing requires trust.

hi sri, I am very open person to my friends and they know almost everything to me I do have secrets who has not? I share it to them cause I know they are trusted ones. happy mylotting

i don't know whether it is fine or not, it differs from individual to individual, some people may use our secrets to target us, i am not comfortable in sharing my secrets with friends at all. Everyone has their point of view, your view may differ if you met some wonderful friend, i didn't meet till date.i have some good friends ,but i don't like to share my secrets with them.

Hi friend, we must avoid sharing important information with our friends, as we don't know when our good friend will change as a worst enemy, if we have quarrels with our friend, s/he will tell our secrets to some other persons and it will spread soon, so better to avoid sharing secrets to our friends. I am not interested in sharing all the secrets with my friends

I think it's difficult to keep a secret, even between friends. So I share some of the things happened to me with my friends, but not all of them.

I never experienced yet that situation right now for all of my friends are reliable in terms of secret keeping. When I want to win some friends, what I really do is to know first my friends little by little from the time that we had met until such time that my full trust will be given.I'll assess her first if she is really the one who is trustworthy and dependable in terms of keeping very sensitive secrets.
