If asked to - can you? Or are you compelled to tell just one person to share your burdon?

Why are you asking? Hmm

What paper is this going to be in? Hmm Grin no paper, just genuinely interested.

I've been in a situation recently where I have felt brave enough to offload a secret or two - very personal to me where ive thought if i dont say something to someone i would implode - only for it to be shared amongst others which has really disappointed me

If it's the one of information where the pressure of not telling makes you feel pulls you'll implode then you are asking a lot of someone to share that burden.

Awful. Truly.

I can. I think people find me easy to talk to and are always telling me their secrets. I never share but sometimes wish I had not been told. It can be very pressured when you are the only person who knows a big secret - a bad one.
nice secrets - like upcoming planned suprises are harder to keep because they are enjoyable things! But I never tell!

I can and do. Lots of people tell me things because they know it will go no further. I will take the secrets to my grave...

Some colleagues though, don't understand what 'confidential' means. They put that - 'Eyes Only' on things like pricing for quotations that DO need to be passed on... I would never tell them anything other than the correct time as they obviously have scant regard for what terms mean.

I can if I remember it's a secret Blush

I'm like a vault.
Although I do think half the time is because I forget what people have told me! But no, I never feel the urge to tell people if I'm holding someone else's secrets.
And I must give that vibe, because people seem to tell me an awful lot of personal stuff. Even when I don't want to know!
