The more I try to mind my own business the more secrets of other people I get to know. It seems like some of my new and old friends can't keep secrets to themselves. The ex-boyfriend of my neighbor told me her ugly secret which I am not suppose to know because in my opinion was really personal. A very very close friend of mine told me her bestfriend's secret and also the secret of her boss. Some new friends tell me theirs even if they don't even know me that well yet. I wonder if these people know that secrets are called secrets because they are suppose to be kept and not to be blurt out like a normal gossip. Although I only know those people by face, I still feel sorry for them for trusting people who, I'm not sure, are worthy of their trust. But it also makes me wonder if those people, who I deeply trust with my secret also do the same to me. And how many people they have told. So what are your opinions?

How do you get yourself into these situations? I would learn from this. You don't tell people you hardly know your secrets. Some people obviously don't respect themselves or others and secrets aren't restricted by them. I would say this is a big lesson learned. You don't share your secrets and so others think they can give you secrets to keep.

Hi 
,
It always starts with a normal conversation. Then when it turns into another suddenly they blurt it out without a warning or send into my inbox and by the end of the conversation, I am surprised to know secrets of other people.

I would put up some very strict boundaries and work on when a conversation is getting too personally or you are getting too much personal information. It is up to you what you put up with and what you take in.

That's right I also try to avoid talking about personal stuff to others especially with those I just met. It always starts with "do you know this person?" then the secret just comes out. One time I got a message from someone, telling me a secret and I had to tell him that he doesn't have the right to tell me other people's secret because I have no business knowing it and that that person trusted him. He apologized afterwards but then it's already too late because I already know.

People who have been entrusted with secrets of their friends should feel proud of being chosen by their friends with their secrets. A secret should be considered "sacred" and there is a silent pact between the two of you that you must keep. Shame on the people who just blurt it out to others just so they can tell something!

If people are telling you secrets then you are both lucky and cursed somehow. Lucky cause people look at you as trustworthy person. Cursed on the other hand, because you knew secrets that other people don't know regardless if it is good or bad. You are lucky if it is a good secret but then if it is bad it is kinda troublesome to keep. You will face a dilema if you are to keep it or tell the persons involved. Have a nice day always my friend.

Hi ,
To be find as trustworthy by others would be a complement but you are also about the downside. Everytime I see those people and the people involved I feel different emotions admiration, sympathy, and disgust. To know their secrets is not a good thing and interfere is another.
Have a nice day to you too. :).

It's better to be selective on those items that should be remained as a secret and some to be for public consumption. Also, to people on whom you will give your trust for that information. A reservation if I should or should not share, is the main thing I usually encounter. Also, if I learned something, information that concerns me, from a friend or a relative, I usually clarify it, know the truth to the person concerned, to validate it is a must. So as to avoid any harm. Thanks

Hi ,
Since I learned about this from others I am now very careful with what I say towards everybody. It's not cool to know something about someone and then keep it to yourself when you already have your own to keep. I always have to watch out not to slip my tounge because words can spread very fast. One mistake can destroy relationships that's why I don't interfere and trigger it, those secrets happened in their past and there is nothing I can do to fix it.
Happy mylotting :)

Hi friend, i am not interested in hearing other persons information and secrets. I am good in keeping secrets. If some of my friends shared their personals with me, i never share it with a third person

Regarding to that matter I also encountered what you are encountred as of now. Sometimes Silence is better than talking things out. At least less talk less mistake right? But things is not about what we want to be. People around us might be cruel or nice. Good or evel. Even sometimes they fight back for us being plastic or hypocrite. Well, thats life just consider yourselves to be one of spice to put up some more flavor into their life. Maybe your trust worthy anyway that must be the reason why they keep on saying secrets with you.

Hi ,
Yes your right and we also to be careful who we tell our secrets or not tell at all to avoid troubles. I don't consider myself to be in the position of telling someone's secret because if I am in their position and I find out, for sure I wouldn't be pleased about it.
Have a nice day.

Not good to get yourself in these kind of things. Alls they do is lead to problems for you. And secrets are good for anyone. take care there.
