There are two types of people - those who can keep secrets and those who can't do this. What kind of person are you? Can you keep secrets?

[Steven]

When I was a little boy I coulnt't keep them. But now, I don't remember a case to reveal somebody's secret

[Terry]

A man must be able to keep a secret, this is his distinguishing feature. Women are those who can't keep their mouth shut, and open it on the first ocassion in a way that the whole circle of friends reveals the secret in one day!

[Terry]

...But, there are secrets which have to be told as somebody's life could depend on it. I didn't have such situations but if I have, I will certainly reveal it.

[M.Helen]

oh, secrets are my weakness. Even if I promise I won't tell anything, I will do that. At least I will share it with my best friend. I can't keep secrets from him. This is what friendship means - no secrets.

[Ernest Anim]

My name is Ernest the new member of your union.I can secrets,for 100years and more.

[Andrewz]

Hi Ernest, why don't you introduce yourself in the new members forum?
As for secrets, Helen you are right. But remember that your best friend has other friends, and she will keep revealing this secret to others.

[Terry]

that's correct! You tell to somebody something and ask him to keep silence. Then he tells somebody else and ask that guy also to keep silence. The latter tells to somebody else, etc.!
It's a chain!

Well, as the high school counsellor, is my duty to listen to the kids' problems and help them solve it...

I think I kept too much of secrets that I sometime feel I cannot hold on anymore...

[Faw_Peter]

And what do you do then? Have you ever disclosed a secret?

[Hakan G]

The simple word "secret", makes you feel uncomfortable, and it's like you need to tell it to somebody. But soon I learned how to deal with this issue

It’s all about psychology here.

[M.Helen]

yeah, well tell me please, how can I not reveal a secret if somebody tells me "don't tell anybody". These words make you wanna tell everybody for receiving a moral pleasure that everybody know that secret due to your help.

[Nicholas]

I think you need to learn it the hard way, if you cannot deal with it on normal bases. That is when you'll face negative consequences for revealing somebody’s secret, which will affect you’re public profile, en you’ll probably be more careful next time.

[Steven]

Let's hope Helen won't get in that trouble. She's a girl, girls always like to speak a lot.

[Karl.in.eu]

then she must be twice as carefull

[Benn]

Remember, the reveal of secrets have been building the history. Keeping a secret is an art. Only those working in secret organizations can perform this art.

[tricker]

I can keep secrets since I am not very talkative, and I respect those people who trust me, so I won't disclose them anybody. For many of us it's a difficult mission, and the majority, especially women fail it.

[Martin]

Of course I can. I think it is inappropriate to tell everyone that a person told you something that you should not tell to someone else. If you think you can not keep this secret you should better tell it that you better not to know that, because although you will create problems to this person.
