Not now, but there was a time when I was guillable.
I have built a solid relationship with my best friend and I trust her completely
NO never. they may accidental spill it out!
trust is a survival tool. Learning how to use it expertly could increase your survival skills
i dont trust a soul!
Yes I would, I have a few people who I trust with my life.
If someone tells me something in confidence then that is how it stays. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone else about a private conversation I had with someone about their problems.
I have told a friend a huge secret that happened years ago but if it came out I would be in trouble. I don't know why I did and as soon as I had said it I regretted it, will never do it again!
psycological if you want people to know something but you don,t want to be known as the teller just tell the big mouth and tell them its a secret
bcuz they need sum1 to talk to. sum piple cant keep it in. they need to have sum1 to confess all their secrets to, even if the person is a ***** and wud spill.
or maybe its not really a secret, they pretend it is, and tell it to a bigmouth who spreads it, and then they get attyention.
or maybe they r just plain stupid.
or maybe they want to believe that they can trust the person, even if they know they aren't really trustworthy. some people are like that, yknow. they trust and trust in u even though u keep on letting them down.
i wudnt really trust ne1 with my secrets. i still have loads of them. some of my friends think they understand me, but then they realise that they dont really know me that much.
but u should tell ur secrets to whomever u want to. its ur choice
Most people just feel more comfortable when they know someone else also knows their secret. It's like your sharing your burden with someone else, even though they might spill the beans.
Because sometimes you just have to talk and let it all out, otherwise you will end up ill under all the strain and pressure of keeping it inside and that is worse.

I have trusted people and they have gossipped about me, luckily nothing too serious.

I think you have to choose your friends wisely and if you have a problem that is really too serious to talk about then phone the Samaritans or someone like that, because they are strictly confidential.
usually cos they just want someone to listen to them no matter what they are like.
Funny you should say that. But here i am telling the world. But what the hell. Its out now.
I was accused of something three years ago that i did not do. spent 5 hours in a cell. One court case after another. It was so serious i nearly took my life. To cope with this i turned to alcohol which became a problem.

I have know this family for 7 years and last week i turned to them for support. They in turn told the biggest mouth in the village whose turned me into a laughing stock. I really should've known. But in times of crisis, do we think?
