How good are you at keeping secrets?

I remember confiding in someone about someone harassing me, and the first thing they did was go to the person bothering me and chew them out for harassing me. I appreciated the sentiment, but I didn’t want that as they just made it worse. I knew they did it because they were the only one I confided in. To this day, they don’t know I’m aware they were the one who told the sick harasser. They have a good heart so I overlooked it.
Are you good at keeping secrets? I’m pretty good as I don’t like causing trouble, and I never want to let out information someone else doesn’t want told. If I share information, it’s because I know it’s okay.

I was about to write a post on why one should not know other people's secrets. I know a secret and that bothers me.

Yes. I have always been good at keeping secrets. I was able to throw three surprise birthday parties for my mom as she got older.

I don't tell people things that others don't want told.

When entrusted with a secret I am able to keep it.
When given sensitive information, I hold on to that also, even if not asked to.
It is not my place to say certain things.
We should all consider our relationship when we know things and keep them to ourselves out of respect.

Depends on the secret. If it means helping someone or possibly saving a life, you know I'm going to talk about it to the first person I can. I rather them mad at me or never speaking to me again if it saves a life. My husband would tell me everything that happens at pizza hut even if he was told to keep it secret.

If a person tells me to keep quiet, I will do my best since if the shoe is on the other foot, I would not like it at all.

Very good if I told by that person not to say anything. I might tell if it would save the person from serious harm or if they were doing something criminal.
