Do you keep secrets well?

My mom always told me i was good to keep secrets, that if someone tells me a secret they don't want anyone else to know, i will take it to my grave. I still am the same way, but i haven't gotten any secrets confided in me recently, but i don't think i'd blurt them out though. I believe when someone confides in you, no matter what the secret, it is your duty as a friend, sister, confidant, to keep their secret, as you hope they'd keep yours if you told them one.

this is one thing my friends can rely on. I can definitely keep secrets.

The only person that can keep a secret is oneself. As soon as you tell anyone then it is no longer a secret and that person will surely tell someone else and then that person will tell and so on and so on.

It depends on the subject matter and who it comes from to be honest for me. As others here have said, if it is something bad that I do not need to know about, then I prefer now knowing. If someone needs to talk to me about something important and they do not want others to know, I will not say anything.

Secrets just seem to be trouble for me. Most of the time my mouth outruns my brain. Birthday secrets however, seem to be rather easy for me because, well, I can't remember birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The secrets I tend to really foul up are the ones where I have a role in the secret -- like with my kids. And usually, it's not that I blurted out the secret...I forgot about it along with the birthday.

I am good at keeping everyone elses secrets but when it comes to my own stuff I always let the cat out of the bag.

hi WinterRose... i have a bad behaviour about this...lot's of the time my friends truste me and say about their life but SOME TIMES i can't keep their secrets in my heart... it's not good but i'm trying to solve my problem... so glad if you can help me...thnx.

I really keep secret well, so many times people have trusted me and always i have keeped their promise.

I've got things I was told in secret that I have kept secret for dozens of years .. it's one of the things I just can't seem to break .. if I'm told a secet I never retell it .. unless the person who told me then tells other folks so that it's no longer a secret .. if you see what I mean .. and even then I don't really saying I know about it .. I mean there was the time I was told all about .... ohhh I see .. hmm you haven't been told about it .. ahhh well .. I can't tell you then can I .. it's a SECRET !! heheh !!

I am very good at keeping secrets. I am very compassionate and have a good listening ear. I am the one that friends come to when they need a trusting sholder to cry on.

YES I COULD IF THE CHILD BOUGHT IT BUT WHEN I BUY IT I WANT TO LET HIM KNEW WHAT IT IS. I HAVE TO WAIT AND BUY GIFTS RIGHT BEFORE THE DAY OR I WILL BREAK DOWN AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY ARE OR GIVE IT TO THEM. MY BAD!!!! COULD I AM GOOD AT KEEPING OTHERS SECRETS BUT NOT MY OWN.mY FRIEND TOLD ME A SECRET 15 YEARS AGO. THE OTHER DAY IT CAME OUT AND I WAS ASKED WHY I NEVER TOLD ANYONE.I SAID BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME NOT TO.WE WERE 7 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME SHE TOLD ME THAT SECRET.IT WAS SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TOLD BUT SHE TOLD ME NOT TO. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN OPEN BOOK AND GUESS I ALWAYS WILL BE.

I could keep a gift a secret, but I agree, things seem to want to pop out more easily now. I personally prefer not to know a secret, I don't really like to keep secrets, heck, I have trouble keeping my own secrets!!!

if someone ask you to keep it secret then you should keep it as a secret. but at times it happens like you are in completely different community where people dosent know anything about people in other community. then if u find the secret was very interesting and you want to share it with someone then you can do that without disclosing the name. i think that will harm anyone.

yes, i beleive that i can keep secrets, and i would like to think that people can trust me keeping there secrets

I do my darndest to keep a secret, but I am only human. Tonight, for example, when I saw an engagement ring advertized I almost said something to my mother about something else, but caught myself just in time because I really didn't want to have to answer questions. 99% of the time I can guard it with my life, the rest of the time I can catch it as it's about to slip out.

I am good at keeping secrets. I always say if I ever told all the secrets I know I could start a war.I am the oldesty of 8 siblings and throught differences I am usually the neutral ground. So every body usually comes to ma and tells me their secrets I will soemtiems tell secrets if I think it will work to settle a disagreement. Otherwise I just listen to what I am told and keep it to myself.

Yes, I can maintain a secrecy but that depends if the secrecy some low register things or not. :) good luck

i thik i prefer not to know about the other people secrets. i dont know why but thats my thinking..i usually keep secrets but sometimes i dont want to hear bad secrets..how about you?

Yes. I have the ability to keep secrets and its very rare that I blurt out any secret that I am supposed not to do. My girlfriends says I am an introvert and so I love to keep secrets. This is true, there are some things that I havent shared with anybody till date, not with my family and not even with my girlfriend. I also like surprising people by keeping some secrets just like one you told, giving a surprise gift and keep that thing secret untill the correct time arrives.

it depends on the secret. i am not good at keeping secret. before i got married, keeping secrets is the most difficult things to do especially if it involves my good friend. if the secret is funy and worth sharing, i would tell it to my best friend. but if it involves dignity or something like that, i'll keep it to myself. Nowadays i only share secrets with my husband(only secrets that doesn't involve his/my family).
