Secrets we keep

Hi Alottodo. I know there must be a lot of people that do keep secrets. I know things about people I will never tell anyone. I think it is best if it won't help the person not to speak of things we know. My brother in law has a wife that cheats on him all the time I used to tell him but nothing changes he just is afraid of being alone and I guess that is why he won't leave her. So now I just keep my mouth shut and keep the secrets to myself. Good luck. If it won't make a difference then I wouldn't say a thing.

Hi, Everyone keep some secrets in the life. some secrets may hurt others feelings when being told. So it would be better to hide truth and keep it as a secret. I can keep the secret but my wife can not keep the secret for the long time.

The only person who I don't keep secrets from is my therapist, I have weekly counseling sessions and she knows everything about me, that is how it works, but from friends and ex partners I have kept secrets, sometimes revealing secrets can cause so much heartache, problems and can even wreck relationships.

Hi alottodo! I do not have any secret but there are just things that are not worth sharing. I would prefer to share it with my partner but of course if things are needed to be shared, well, it is okay with me also. Have a nice day!

I do have secrets, but thank goodness none of it is so life-altering that it keeps me up at nights. They're all petty and not critical, like when my brother swore me in not to tell our mom he's the one who over-watered her orchids, lol! I want to live a simple life, and that includes not being caught in webs of secrets and heavy revelations. Not that I will start to tell on that person, not that, but I think it will be in my conscience and hanging on me constantly.

What i know is that secrets are not meant to be told to anyone, whether he is your very close friend or relative. Disclosure of secrets always brings problems.

Yeah, some could remain buried and later realizing that it should have come out in the open, lol! I mean i really believe in keeping or setting the truth out no matter what, because as they said, it will set you free, especially if it's the whole truth and nothing but the truth, lol!

Thankfully I do not have any such things called as secrets. I mean , yes I do have secrets that i would be carrying it to the grave, but not alone, but with my close friend. We both share quite a few secrets , of which includes about me as well as herself. It is that, I really can't keep anything to myself like secrets. she is the only one other than myself whom I can share anything and everything about myself to her and that is the relationship that we share from our childhood. At the same time, there are a certain things that she has also told like what happened in her life too which she has shared only with me and not even to her mother. These are those things that we take it to the grave and sometimes, these things when revealed strains a lot of relationships, people tend to judge us a lot of times, and specially when they judge, most of the times, they take it to the extremes of negativity. That is the reason we take those things to the grave. It is better to be silent than to even tell a person whom we have known for long. People most of the time, rather than to feel empathetic, they are just too excited to share the hot news with someone else, or at least their close friend, because they trust their friend not to tell anyone else. This is how the chain continues and they just spread all over the place in no time.

I think that it is natural for people to have secrets and the reason why they are secrets is because we know that they can cause the other person to hurt. No matter how much a person says that they want the truth the do not because the fact is the truth hurts. Sometimes we need to her the truth and other times it is best that we keep it to ourselves.
