Will you share your secrets with others?

If you have a secret, would you consider to share it with someone else or just keep it to yourself?
Most of us, if we are in our 20s/ >20, would probably have shared some of our secrets with our family and friends. And only to realize that in the end, the secrets are being spread like wild fire in the forest. (at least this is what happened in my life)

Sometimes we want to trust others, but past experience of being betrayed just haunts us and makes us choose to hide some parts of our true self. Some people may say what is the big deal about others knowing about your secret. Just don't care about what others think. It is easy to say something like this, but it is a whole new situation when you are being judged and consistently put down by others verbally, sometimes even physically.

Will sharing secrets help people to feel more connected with the other person and have more of a genuine relationship/friendship?
Or will it just tears people apart in the end when the friend whom we trusted "accidentally" tell some other friends about the secret we shared?
Or sharing secrets between one another have no effect at all in a relationship?
Something worth spending time to think about. =D

For me, when I share secrets with others, I am already prepared for the secrets to be spread around.
So that when it does happen, I would not feel so bad about it.
Okay, there may be some people who can zip their mouths really tightly and keep your secrets well, but those people are like legendary pokemon, super rare. You are lucky if you have friends/family like these. =X

Why do you want to share your secrets? (to vent out your suppressed emotions?)
What will happen if you share it out? (you may feel much lighter. And the interaction with the other person will feel much more open./ there is a chance of another party knowing about your secret)
Is it really necessary to do so? (will telling others that you love someone secretly helps? - okay maybe. because they can be your loveguru.)
I would ask myself 1000000 more questions, so usually I don't share my secrets in the end. lol!
(The good part: It saves you from being judged harshly by others who wants you to be a certain way.)
Some secrets are best kept within yourself. No one else needs to know about it!


Anyway if you like to share your secret, share your secret at your own risk. =D
