Surely there's a line you can't cross with that?
Are you passing on actual secrets that somebody has trusted you with enough for them to tell you?
Let's look at it this way; you've got two friends, lets call them A and B. Friend A is your best friend and wants to know what you talk about with friend B, which I guess to a point that's kind of fair enough though right? Having a catch up includes talking about other friendships surely.
But then friend B decides to tell you something in confidence, something that no one or very few other people may know and asks you not to pass that on.
What would YOU do in that situation? Tell friend A everything? They want to know what you guys talk about right? Or show your loyalty to friend B and don't pass on to anyone what they've trusted you to know? Do you start to feel like you're piggy in the middle?
Maybe this is just me I don't know but if someone feels like they can trust me enough to tell me something in confidence, why would I even think to pass that on? I don't have the right to tell anyone another person's secret, whether they're my best friend or not. If that person telling me wanted my best friend to know, then they would more than likely tell them themselves.
Have you ever been in a similar situation? Did you tell your best friend something you were meant to keep to yourself? Let me know in the comments!

I have been in such situations several times! I think that the best part is to not say anything even if it's your best friend, because your friend had tell you this in confidence. Ps. I love your blog��
ReplyDeleteI have two best fiends, we usually tell each other our secrets so when it comes to such situation it's hard to say nothing to friend A.
