I don't know how I keep doing this or why but I keep on exposing my secrets by accident. Sometimes I dont mean to tell them my secrets and it just comes out of my mouth. While other times, I keep on hinting at the secret that I eventually tell it. I honestly have to stop cuz people are getting advantage of me and I don't feel like I can talk about this stuff openly anymore. Why are people like this? Why am I like this?
Sometimes secrets can slip out when we don't mean for them too or sometimes it's just hard or painful to keep secrets in and we want to share them with others. One important thing to keep in mind is that not everyone is a good person to share secrets with. Maybe instead of generalizing and assuming you can't share secrets with anyone, find the people in your life that are trustworthy. Some examples might be parents, teachers, guidance counselor, religious leaders, family and friends. Maybe it would help to start with sharing smaller things that you really don't care if they get out. If the person you trust keeps that secret, you can try telling them more and more things until you are fairly certain they are trustworthy and then you can share more openly. Trust is something that is earned and it sounds like you may be sharing things with people that haven't yet earned your trust, so maybe try your best to not share things with people that haven't earned it yet. Call or chat with us anytime.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
