| Someone repeated a secret I couldn't keep to myself.......can I get mad at someone for not being able to keep a secret that I couldn't keep myself? Thought of the day (confused smiley)

| Uh oh! Is anyone being hurt by the secret getting out? If not, then don't sweat it!

| Well......I know lots of secrets and know how to keep my mouth shut. When someone tells me something I hold their trust in my very personally. I don't know if it's a matter of forgiveness but I'd never be able to trust that person with my confidence again. There's not many people that I tell HUGE things to about my personal life.

| But let me add.......sometimes things slip and if you weren't gossiping to be evil then just fess up, own it and move on. But we all know someone that has THE BIGGEST MOUTH in the entire UNIVERSE! That's the type of person that I want nothing to do with....EVER! If she did it to someone else she is doing it to you too......for entertainment purposes. AND that's just kinda sick.

| Let just say, if someone told you something and then you repeated it when you shouldn't have, then you have no right to be mad at said person. If anything you should be mad at yourself. I certainly would never trust you again, since you broke that trust. This say's a lot about a person in my eyes.

| I am not good at keeping secrets so I tell people, please don't tell me any. I find it hard to keep secrets from people I am close with and trust, so I can understand how you might have felt comfortable letting someone else you trusted know. I have been there before so I now just prefer not to be in on one in the first place

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | If it's a secret that was supposed to kept, well, SECRET -- then yes, you should be upset...and you should question the trust and loyalty of the friend. If you can't trust a friend with a secret, yikes, that opens a whole can of worms in my book in terms of what kind of friend/person they actually are. Friends who don't protect you and your confidences have to be evaluated. Now. That said....let's say you told your friend a secret that put you in danger like "don't tell anyone but I've started to abuse drugs" -- that's the kind of 'secret' where the trust can be broken in my book, within reason and with the safety/well being of the person at top of mind.

| "If you want to keep it a SECRET, do NOT tell ANYONE." This is what I tell people. I find that sometimes, people gives things away without really realizing it. Also, if the person tells me a secret, there's a chance s/he told someone else and THAT person might've leaked it. |

Totally agree with this as well. If it's for the safety of a person then I see this as not breaking a secret. I am a little overly passionate on this subject because of a few things that have happened recently to myself and others. Some people can't keep a confidence to save their live and will even elaborate and embellish. People like that need a hobby or psychiatrist!

| Yes, you can be mad at that person for breaking your confidence. However, you have to realize that had YOU not broke the other persons confidence, this wouldn't be happening... You're responsible for your part. They're responsible for theirs. If someone tells me something, secret or not, it's not my place to tell others.
